gtx 275 ftw,
only evga and bfg have trade up programs, and evga's "step up" is better, as u get what you payed for the card, vs current MSRP with BFG.

Best bang for the buck would be the radeon 4870 but the 4890 would definetly allow u to play at that res with everything turned up. I got a 4770 and can play at 1920x1080 with no af/aa and get 100 act fps in cod5. I would guess the 4870 can handle what u want.

4850x2 can be found at $200 or less if you don't mind the power consumption. it'll beat a 4890, gtx275 and gtx285

Power consumption is the least of worries.
You have a high-end card for one sole purpose, "the pursuit of performance"
