I don't think the 57xx/67xx/77xx cards will be much faster than your 4890. I don't know if PCI 2.1 is backward compatible. You might try posting that question on the video card section. I have an ASUS 790X board and the 5850 works.
I'm in New York, so I need to pay sales tax on Newegg, plus the free shipping is UPS and I wouldn't trust UPS to ship a rock. I'd have to pay to FedEx it, which is always expensive...
