HD 4890 or GTX295

[Phage]

I am only going to get a new DX11 graphics card if it has a similar(or lower) power consumption to my HD4830 and is twice the real world performance.

And....There are games to support DX11, and is available in Vapor X or similar quiet format.

I'll be buying a 5xxx series once their available in Vapor-X OR IceQ versions, probally be a few months later after launch.

I cant stand the stock reference coolers one bit, always had IceQ versions with the X800XT Platinum / X1900XTX.

Depending on performance of course, the GTX295 is going to lose the most in terms of sell on price once the 5xxx series is released - get rid.

DX11 game support would be nice, but it's not something I care about for the next gen cards, I'm mainly after the performance, and that's it. Anything else is a bonus.

What about sound?
Only Ati will let you send signal through built-in audio module using Hdmi output (7.1 channel)

I'm a good old fashioned analog audio type

deffinately wait with dx11 cards coming out its going to shake the market up a fair bit (better cards, cheaper prices on old cards etc)
