Hi, im upgrading my GTX 260 but i dont know what to yet.

Also i have always chosen Nvidia over ATI, mostly a personal choice, but also because a lot of games are optimized for Nvidia.

Anyway im not sure on a few things, i was going to SLI this but have no room in my tower and current motherboard wouldnt support it, so i need help with a few things:

which is better for a single gpu card? i looked at the ATI 4890 and are much cheaper then the GTX 275 onwards, is ATI that bad??

Can i Crossfire on this Abit board?

Is there much a difference between a GTX 260 and 4890?

i was thinking of getting this card: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-141-XF&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1403

Thanks
 
money is not a problem, but i dont think i could justify the price, with the monesy saved from getting say 4890 i could upgrade cpu or motherboard

edit, when does the offer run out on the 4890 i linked?
 
sounds the better option, i guess those will also support DX11?

i will wait a few days see what come up and get back to you.

Thanks everyone
 
i will see how much these 5850's are when they come out, i saw somewhere they are going to be around $300, which equates to about £180 or so which doesnt sound right, im expecting a big price on them :confused:
