OK so it's xmas coming up and I'm thinking about getting a new GPU (every Xmas I always take 150 out of my bank and buy something, I often end up not spending it)
After looking at the current GPU's the 4770 looks in my price range and has DX10. After looking at the benchies though I found that the performance of it was terrible compared to my current GTX 260 (625/1100)
So going up from there the 4850 with 1GB of VRam sounds pretty good but pricey. DX11 and performance is slightly higher than the 260 but the price (about 250)
So if I were to go to go for an ATI card it would be the 4850 but is it worth it? Do you think the GT300 series will give you a massive performance increase? For 200 quid will I be able to buy a 300 card that beats the 4850? or my 260?
Note if you're a fanboy please say at the top or bottom of your post. I don't classify myself as a fanboy since I happily consider both options before getting a GPU, but I am a fanboy for intel over AMD.
