Basically I was looking at cards like the 4890 and shit as I really wanna upgrade, but I may be coming into more money than I first thought... so I'm trying to figure out what would be a good card to get for roughly £200 including P&P
I like the look of the performance of a 4890 but I also wanna be future proof too, maybe getting something more powerful considering I now have a larger budget and a 4890 goes for about £120 incl P&P
Obviously this isn't enough to get some beast like a 5970 but I want something that's got a lot of meat behind it, and I've really lost touch with graphics cards these past few years. All these stupid names and numbers have left me really confused and I definitely need some help understanding it all
I don't really wanna spend the whole £200 though as I also have a life and want to keep money for going out and shit as well, so maybe something near £170/180 range would be good, but I'll obviously take any suggestions into consideration
Thanks in advance
