if u're willing to part with ur existing 8800GTX...then nVidia GTX260 is a resonable upgrade. if not..then getting another 8800GTX is the only option u have. mixing one card with another..i don't think its a good idea.

Ok well they seem to be exactly the same card so I'm not sure why one is 20$ more...
One is overclocked slightly.

Don't get any 5000 series cards everyone is having a lot of problems especially 5770's its due to the drivers wait until they say they have fixed Grey screen and vertical line crash it continuously crashes for me but with my 10.5 beta drivers there's a lot less crashes.

Don't spend 20$ more for that, clock it your self or like I said get a 4870 for less it's nearly the same card and does nearly the same benchmarks.

The two 4870s on Newegg.
One is four dollars cheaper but doesn't have free shipping.
The other is more expensive and also doesn't have free shipping.

Doesn't sound like a big problem for most people, and they're fixing it so meh.
