    With nvidia is GTX590>GTX580>GTX570>your HD5850

    (The 5970 and 5870 are not in production so you would have to buy used or find some obscure amazon partner that has some left)

    If you're only using 1 monitor and 1920x1080 is your highest resolution, I'd suggest the AMD Radeon HD 6970 or The Nvidia GTX 570.... both between $300-$350 new on newegg...

    A 5870 could be found pretty cheap on Ebay but is not a worlds difference from your current card

    Then you could always find a 5850 on Ebay and go crossfire... I'd personally rather have 1 card that can do the job as opposed to 2, but thats a personal preference
    CPU: AMD Phenom II @ 4.01GHz
    RAM: 8GB DDR3
    OS: Win7x64 ultimate

    Would either of those cards be worth it to upgrade from what I have? Ideally I'd like to be able to run in full resolution with AO off and any level of FSAA, 2 or 4x would be great, at a consistent frame rate of 40+ with no spikes.

    Checking AMD drivers now. . .
    EDIT: 11.5

    Thanks for your help btw.
