Hey guys, I've been deciding for a while how to upgrade my rig. I have $260 or so on hand now, not a dollar more, and want to throw that into a GPU budget. My 8800GT isn't cutting it anymore, even with the latest voltmod OC that put it up to 735 core. I see 20-25FPS in games like Arma 2, Empire, Clear Sky, and so on. In fact, most of the gaming I do that isn't Unreal or Source seems to lag.
So basically I want a new GPU. I've been eyeballing the GTX 260 (216), the 4980, the GTX 275 and the 5770. Apparently the 4890 is the best "bang for your buck" card now and the 275 is worth it if you game above 1680*1050. But, what would you recommend?
