    Hi all,

    I'm looking to get a new graphics card. PCI Express 2.0 x16 for around the €400 price mark.

    I haven't been keeping an eye on what's the latest and greatest graphics cards over the last year or so.. So I was wondering if anyone would know the best options?

    I have an ATX (ASUS P5E3 Deluxe Wifi ap-n) motherboard, 8GB DDR3 RAM, Q6600 clocked at 3.33Ghz, 2x Raptors in RAID0. The motherboard supports Crossfire i.e. ATI cards best.

    I was looking at the HD4970 and the HD5870 but just can't decide/know which one is best..

    Thanks in advance.

    hold on to whatever you have right now because the ati hd 6 series is coming out in a month or two (the 6870 will probably be out in December) and thats the card you will be looking at
