GTX260---->HD5850, Worth the upgrade?

Im having this GTX260 for almost a year now. Always had Ati cards before but now planning to switch back. Games I mostly play are TF2, Bad Company 2 ( sloppy performance here). Would most likely upgrade it to play Bad Company 2 smooth.

I know its mainly a cpu heavy game but having a bit the sense it s holding the cpu back wich is an AMD quad @ 4 ghz. Also have the idea ATi cards have slightly better AA and image quality over their nVidia counterparts, atleast that kinda impression I get.

So about this upgrade, worth it?

I live in Holland. A known retailer here has a 5850 MSI Twin Frozr for 177 euro's. If I can sell the GTX260 for 60 buck it would be an 110 euro upgrade.

ATI have slightly better AA? :lol:GazaAli

Uh, what do you mean?

It's not worth the upgrade. Why would you go for a last gen card when 6850's are cheaper? Another alternative would be a GTX 460.

I do not know what kind of advantage the 6850 offers above the 5850. Read somewhere it offers better tesselation without suffering in performance but besides that it's almost the same specs and 500 less stream processors for the 6850. Wich is a big chunk of raw power loss imo.

the 260 is still a great card...Im running a ati 4770 which is weaker than your 260 and I can run bad company 2 above 40 fps most of the time, with average of around 50-60 fps. All settings high with 2x AA
