Help needed!!!

If got a budget of R3 000 to spend on a GPU, Now I looked at the 275GTX but now Dx11 is here and now i cant choose to wait for new Dx11 GPU, nVidia or get ATI, maybe stick with 275 GTX plz help!!!!

Looks like you can find the GTX275 for USD - $300.00, you can also find an ATI 5850 for USD $300.00.

In all fairness, go with the 5850, it has DX11 support, it will perform better in almost EVERY title and it has less power consumption.

I wouldn't get a 275.....look at the December roundup here on THG. The only card i really don't like on that list is the 5770 as it's beat handily by the 260 and 4870.
