Upgrade from an HD 4870 512mb?

Hi guys,

I've had a Visiontek HD 4870 512mb for almost three years now, and it's served me well, but BF3 and Witcher 2 have made me realize that maybe now is the time to upgrade. I'm looking for a single card, AMD solution (don't want nasty driver conflicts with Nvidia, and I'm done with crossfire) and I have flexible budget. What would you guys recommend?

Thanks a ton!

If you have a good enough motherboard then get a 7870 and a CPU cooler and overclock that C2Q.
