Looking to upgrade GPU

System:

3.4GHZ Quad (AMD Phenom 2 X4 BE)

4GB DDR3 1333 RAM

8800GTX

M4A79XTD EVO MOBO

600W Corsair PSU

I want an ATI card tbh and my price range is around £200

I want to be able to play future releases like Crysis 2 (I read it will require less than Crysis 1 +WH) at near enough max settings on a kinda low resolution smoothly (1360x768 res)

So yeah a £200 +/- GPU :P

Tah!

For the price rage nothing beats the GTX 460 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130570

a 5870 beats that 460 and is under bugdet

still better

Just a note, ATI don't exist, no such thing anymore.

Anyway, probably a 5870 or a 6870 (I dunno how much these cost), or if we are talking about USD, CDN, AUD or anything else.

OK I think if I get a HIS HD 6850 (only £130 on overclockers) I then have some left over, and I will probably spend that on a new fan and cpu cooler just to even the system out :D I looked at some HD 6850 vids and it handles things like crysis warhead and metro really well so I have no worries and it looks like it could cater for my needs :D and in the future if I want more performance I'll just buy another for cf? Would that be a bad choice? :) Thanks guys

Look at a 6870, AMD changed the naming scheme, so a 6850 is from the 5750, but its roughly a 5850 now (I hope that made sense). A 6870 is the successor to the 5770 (NOT the 5870), thats the 69xx series.

The GTX 460 out performs the 6850 if I remember correctly.Nick3306

Yeh I know, but the TC is set on a AMD card.

Well I personally would get the new 6950 its faster then gtx 460 and gtx 470 and 5870, I just quick googled it and its 220 pounds so its not that over budget, if it is just wayt a month and it will drop around 200 or you can save up, 8800 GTX is not that bad. :)

Considering your resolution, either the GTX 460, the 6850 or 6870 would be fine

yah get the 6850. Its a great card if you're going to crossfire, nothing beats it in value.

I think I can get the 6870 so will be getting that or 6850.

Only thing holding me back is this...is this a really good deal (it seems so?)http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1280mb-palit-gtx-470-40nm-3348mhz-gddr5-gpu-607mhz-shader-1215mhz-448-cores-2x-dvi-mini-hdmi

why is it so cheap?

Thanks guys I've gone with the 6870 only £170 at overclockers uk this week :D perfect timing, although I doubt I will get it delivered by christmas in this snow :( ah well THANKS
