If you could stretch your budget a bit more you could get a gtx 560ti (around £170), if not maybe a 6850/70? (6850 is around £125, the 6870 is around £140) Although I think you should see what others think as I am probably not the most qualified person to answer
depends, if you're selling your hd 4890 and then buying a new card, you should be able to get a decent hd 68xx+ card so yea...now lets see. I prefer amazon so here's the link to the card you should get:
or just crossfire this one so you'll have to buy two of these...also one thing, i'm not sure myself but i've heard that crossfiring two similar cards don't provide 200% performance so lets say if your first card performs 100%, your second card would add 50% more into it or so but 2 hd 6770 out performs 1 hd 6950
To be honest I'd stick with your 4890 a little longer (until HD 7000). Your current card is comparable to a 5850 and that's already at around 6870 level of performance, it would be an even trade at best. I know you probably hate to hear this, but that's my
So are you an AMD fan boy? As in, would you recommend sticking with AMD? If so, why not nVidia?
I'm an AMD fanboy? Are you high? Take a look at the card in my sig rig, which replaced another Nvidia card...
Let me sum it up for you: if you have some cash to burn, go ahead and feel free to do so. Don't expect much of an upgrade from your current card.
This is roughly the performance you'll get for your budget. If you're gonna upgrade, in my opinion, save some more money (£200 at least) and go 560 ti/6950 or whatever the hell else you want, which will be a lot more worthwhile at higher resolutions at least.
Yeah wait for AMD 7xxx series, But if you want to upgrade now then if you can find a GTX560 in your budget (maybe around OCN?) then go for it. Otherwise the Radeon 6870 should be just in your budget range.

How much would I be able to get for my HD4890? Roughly.
And when you said around ocn I thought it was a retailer.
Seen some decent cards in the Marketplace tbh, XFX 5870 for £125 sound good?
