@ OP
If you have bought the XFX 5850 BE(Black Edition), your next step is upgrading your CPU.
Assuming that your motherboard is AM3 compatible I would suggest the AMD Phemon II X4 955 BE or above.

Obviously the cost will differ depending on your location. I live in Australia and the suggested CPU would cost approx. $150AUS.

I totally agree, because although AMD5770, of which I have 128 bit.If Hellfire I will refuse to gtx570.I wait until departure GTX475.I believe that he should not rush to a decision not to buy gtx475 not 6870or6850.

@shmedems -> I did buy that XFX 5850 GPU and it's doing perfectly fine. But, you're right about upgrading CPU, I will buy some AMD quad-core, but not yet. So far, only 2 games have showed to be quite CPU demanding... GTA IV and Gothic IV. all other games ran on Full HD and highest settings with no lag.

If you have money - buy radeon 5750 - I have 5670 and new games will run better with 5750 ;)

Hey guys,

I am looking for a new graphics card because my current one is a little out of touch with the rest of my PC.

At the moment I am running a:

AMD Phenom X4 955 processor
Sapphire Radeon HD 4670 1gb
4Gb Ram
1500 GB Sata Hard disk (7199rpm).

As you can see my graphics card is lagging behind the rest. I am now looking for a reasonably priced card which has the same performance level as my processor.

I do not want to spend a lot of money because The Elder Scolls V is coming and I am reasonably sure their demands are going to be way higher. so on 11-11-11 this PC will probably be retired.
