Greetings all! My play is largely limited to WoW (possibly Aion on the 22nd), and I might be interested in giving Batman a shot. My current card is an X1900 XL--would it be worth the expense to upgrade to a 260/ 4870, or would the expense outweigh any graphical improvements I may receive? I have 3 gigs of ram and a phenom II processor running on the GA-MA790GP-UD4H motherboard. My display is a Dell 22 inch LCD with an apparent (I could be wrong) maximum resolution of about 1680x1024...

The 4870 or 260 would be a huge upgrade, especially at that resolution.
