So, i have a 5870 1Gb, and need to upgrade it for bf3.
this one to be exact.

I play at a resolution of 2560x1600, so I'm guessing a 2GB GPU is the best choice.
Whats the best one out there?

I have a 2.80ghz 8core cpu.
plus 6 gb ram.

How long will it last?
Because i want it to last for a while, and not for like a year.
Btw, budget is like 300-400(max max) euroes.

Considering how developers seem to use Nvidia cards for their testing (lol RAGE) I'll think twice before I buy ATi again, it's a shame because it's not AMD's fault

My old 4870 has served me well but it can barely keep up with new titles

Your thoughts, insights, and musings on this matter intrigue me
