Hi, I'm planning on upgrading from a 8800GT to a ATi 4890 and I would like advise on whether or not I'd get serious bottlenecking?
I'm planning on upgrading my card so I can play games such as Crysis and GTA IV at higher frame rates.
Thanks

forget about a 4890 HD and get the 5770 HD . your 6400+ will do fine.
