    Default Worth it to upgrade from 8800GTX to a 4890?

    I'm planning to purchase a 4890 card in couple of weeks and was wondering if you guys can help me decide if it would be a worthwhile upgrade over my 8800gtx for Empire.

    Check the card's specs and your power supply. You may need one for that card.

    You will definately see an improvement that's for sure.
    I upgraded from a 8800GTS (512mb version) to a 4870X2 and there was no comparison what so ever.
    And given the fact that 4890 is relatively cheap compared to the performance, I would say it's the ULTMIATE graphics card choice at the moment.

    And no, your PSU will provide more than enough power for a 4890 - I'm pretty sure it will even power two.

    Cool, but will it play Empire at 1680x1050 Max AA and Ultra settings with no random hiccups?
