My current card is an xfx 8800gt 1gb (stock clocks) and I am thiking about the 4890=£180-200 the 4870=£120-140 and the GTX 275=£180 ( not sure about gtx 260 216). Anyway i've seen lots of reviews but I am looking for the best performance for money, as long as it is over 50% over my 8800gt. Basically is the 4890 worth £60 over the 4870, and is the gtx 275 worth it?

Res?

I elaborate on value of the two cards pretty extensively here.
