Looking to upgrade my graphics card, which is currently a 8800Gt
to one of the following, I am running a 19inch monitor.
Amd
5770 just because of direct X 11
4890
Nividia
260gtx

They are all within $20 of each other, the 4890 and 260gtx are the same price, with the 5770 $20 lower.

Any thoughts?

If games keep coming out like MW2... you could downgrade!! BFBC2 DX 11?

You might end up paying top price for technology that wont be in common use for the next couple of years....

I have the 4850x2.... Works great for me... Apart from the card be friggin big!!

ATI HD4890 is the pick of that bunch. You could always sell the 8800GT if it makes the decision easier.

Just buy one of these Jad. You won't need to upgrade for a couple years...
