hey will gtx260 be better or hd4890.also in aug digit it sez 4870 in 13.5 K.where did u get your info man, huh desiibond?
WTH?? HD4870 for 12k is waste. you can get HD4980 for 13.5k which is lot lot better.
And it will still be better than 9600GTs in SLI.
always opt for a single powerful card. learned this after looking at few reviews about crossfire and SLI.
inside 5k: HD4670
Inside 7k: HD4850
Inside 9k: GTS250
Inside 11k: Palit GTX260 SP216 896MB Sonic Edition
Inside 15k: GTX275 or HD4890
Note: make sure you have equally powerful CPU and PSU.
Here you go, some prices and the respective links..
HD4870 - 10763
HD4890 - 13325
GTX260 - 13530
Have picked out the cheapest variants...! (With largest VRAM)
HD4890 would be better than the GTX260. They are close in performance in some games..depends on the game. HD4890 is a shade faster. Difference between the two cards is +- 5 FPS in most games. (Though that is quite a bit in the gaming world.....!). With both cards -- their price being similiar you can play nearly all games (NOT CRYSIS), maxed out settings, and get smooth game play.

The above 2nd link is HD4890 vs GTX275, but GTX260 is part of the testing/benchmarking process, so you should have a fair idea.
Best of luck, with your choice. Happy gaming...!
