So what graphics card should i get?

I am thinking about upgrading my video card. Reccomend me a card with a good price and reasonably better perfomance than mine.

We'll need a budget for what you're trying to get. With the information you gave us, a 5970 could meet your criteria :P

I would prefer to stick with Nvidia. I said reasonable for a good price not a monster card. Anyway how about a 150- 200 budget?dakan45

Well, the next step up from a 9800GTX+ is the GTX 260 from nVidia. And just to give you an idea of what ATI has to offer, the 5770 is its equivalent.

I dont see a reason to upgrade from a 9800GTX+ and with a budget of 150-200$. keep your money.GazaAli

a gtx 260 is the 4870's "rival", not the 5770. 5770 is more like gts250. anyway, a 4890 can be had for around 170$ and features better performance on all games then a gtx 260, and even beats the 275 in some. has 1gb gddr5 so more then enough for gta 4(well mostly, you actually need around 1440mb but it handles with the no restrictions). sure its not ati, nor is it sli compatible, but it is by far the best deal out there on a single card. unless you live in canada in which case a 4870 for 125$ is a great deal too. but if your stuck on nvidia, i would wait for the 3 series to officially come out and see the 2 series prices drop like a rock.

it actually depends on resolution. at higher the 4870 wins, and at lower they are pretty much equal. this is due to the 4870's 256 bit against the 5770's 128 bit. not to mention 5770 is too slow for any real dx 11 gaming, and the fact it is 60-70$ more then the 4870. again not to mention the xfx 4870 xxx can reach 4890 speeds no problem while the 5770 lacks in Oc'ing performance. i would say a 4870 is the better buy, but that is just sublantics now

There are no good Nvidia cards for 150-200. You could get a 4890 for around the same price as a 260 and get better performance.
