so i was going to get a graphics card for my computer but i could not decide what one to get

i was offered a GTX 260 for $150 i was thinking of getting a ati 5770 because of the dx11 but they go for $170 or a 4870 but it looks like its also are up to $170 now.

i don't know what to get i looked online and they are in the same area of performence actually. but i was thinking of getting something smaller like a 4770 or a 9800 gtx both go for around $110.

i play on a 19" but i probably will upgrade later. i would like to play on full graphics and not have to worry about overclocking it.

what would you guys do? i was thinking the gtx 260 because they normaly are around $200.

I got my 260 for $160.

It's awesome. DX11 is far off still anyway. Unless you plan on buying something for one or two games I'd just get the 260.

There isn't much you can do to slow it down.

Would go with the 260. I have one and dont have any problems with games. Also on a 24inch monitor, 1920x1080 and no problems.

260 seems like the best value here. When I got mine a friend got a 4870 and I see no real difference in performance..You won't be running every game on max but it'll do the trick for most games.

if that is what is available to you that gtx 260 is a great deal, go for it.
