Upgrading my graphics card !?

[Damien.]

Well after seeing the DX11 video, I have decided to upgrade my card. At the moment im running a 280GTX but am thinking of getting a 58** series. Basically, I have two questions !

1) Which card should I get and how much of a performance increase should i expect ?

2) When will OCUK have more stock !?

Thanks.

Oh, the rest of my rig, if it makes a difference is;

Q6600 & 4GB DDR2.

I guess the 5850 will be about 15% faster and the 5870 will be about 33% faster.

I would get a 5870 if you're going to upgrade. Though, it's not especially good value for money, so if you're happy with your current performance (and how many games don't run great on GTX 280?) why not wait?

Got the 5870 myself because I was being a impatient git!, but the sensible choice is buying the 5850. OC it to 5870 specs and save £100

Thanks, im going for the 5870.

Any idea when OCUK will have more in stock !?
