I cant edit? Hmm?
Well i know im not supposed to ask "WHAT CARD?" but i really need ANY opinions i can get, but, i would like a card that will not be bottlenecked by my current hardware.
I was looking at the hd4890 but i know im going to have to upgrade from that later anyways...

Maybe GTX460,but you should still wait for a month, it will be released in July.

If you don't want to wait, so only ATI card can meet your requirement.

HD4890 isn't a good choice, HD5850 is better one, lower heat, lower power, higher performance and the important that future is DX11, maybe HD5850's price is more expensive than HD4890, but it is worth.

I'm not sure the GTX460 will be worth waiting for. As we all know the GTX465 is a dud. 5830 performance for 5850 cost. If you have $300 to spend the 5850 won't do you wrong. I think the 5770 in CF is also done for around $300, but I don't think its faster. More like similar.
