Very simple upgrade question (from 8800GT)

I have sold my 8800GT (£55)

I want to upgrade

My 8800GT could handle everything I played maxed at my res (1680x1050) with a solid 60FPS apart from Assassin's Creed, CoD4 and Crysis...

Simple, out of the 4870 and GTX 260 (not the gimmick 216), which of these cards have better performance for these games, not too bothered about CoD4; just noticed some minor FPS drops.

Basically I ask this 'cos I play with Vsync, therefore I couldn't care less if one plays UT3 at 135 and another at 140FPS - it's the games I want to play at a higher frame rate I care about.

Also, Farcry 2, GTA IV and Warhead are on my wishlist:D

Thank you for any advice guys!
 
I asked a similar question yesterday, having seen the HIS 4870 for £164 i was going to buy one this morning, but logged on to find it had risen £20.

So I'm holding back for now, I've seen the HIS else where for cheaper.
 
Right, bought a Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 512MB but not from overclockers, found it cheaper sorry :(

Hope this provides a substantial boost from my 8800GT!!!
