One 4890.
But it would be better to get a 5850

250's or 260's? sig rig and post counterdict each other.

either way, the only plus I see to a 4890 is lower power usage. 2 250's in SLI would make a 4890 just a side-grade, and 2x260's would be better than any 4890.

Do you have two 250's or 260's? Your sig says 260's.

Either way, unless you are having issues with the Nvidias in the games you play (i.e. poor SLI support) then stick with what you have.

If you are going to get something, it should be at least a 5850.

Just stick with what you have. No point in spending money at this point.

both a 250SLI or a 260SLI would beat a 4890 handily. you'd be spending $ for less performance.

here's a 250 SLI review showing just that.

If these are your only options if i was you i would stick with what you have atm. Wait a month or 2 and see where you stand with how much money you have to spend and the prices of current cards. You could then sell your current cards and get something like a 5850 or CF 5770's.

HIS 5850 is sweet, I'd recommend two 5770's is that board hybrid ?
