What Graphics Card To Buy...

[weegill]

I currently have a 3650, which tbh isnt the best of cards for games now a days... It does the job but im looking for a new one so i can max my settings instead of having them low/medium

Im stuck between a gtx 260/275 and a 4870/4890
I've read a few reviews and out of the ATI cards and the 4870 is the better choice since the 4890 doesnt give a big enough perfomance boost to justify the price increase

As for the nvidia cards i cant decide... I've only ever opted for ati cards in the past and i dont know what Nvidia cards are like, and dont really know what to look for in comparing them to ATI cards

so basically im looking to spend no more than £200 on a new card but would preferably like to spend less as im not made of money, so basically, the best performance to price ratio...
However i only play at 1680x1050 and i might buy a new screen soon since im gonna upgrade my pc over the summer, just thought id start with the graphics card

Any other suggestions on cards are welcome

For the price it's awesome and even if the differance between it and a 4870 isn't massive, there realy is no point NOT buying it over the 4870 when the differance is £30.

Thanks for the reply

i ended up opting for the XFX ATI HD4890 - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-124-XF&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1403

overall i think it was the better choice, even out of the other cards, i read a review on different ATI branded cards and for overclocking this was the best choice
