For only £9.98 extra you can get a Gainward GTX 260

Why do you want or need over 1GB of GPU memory

As I posted in your other thread, you should be looking at a 4870 or GTX260. If you can find one, go for a 4890 instead, as that rivals the GTX275 (and the GTX285 if you get one that clocks).

Other option is the 5770, its about the same speed as the 4870/260, however has lower power consumption, supports DX11 and a few other bits and pieces like HDMI HD Audio with the right software, and will last a bit longer if more games make use of DX11 for optimisation like battleforge, downside is being new, so are the drivers.

Also, check you have a decent PSU.

As above, the Asus it the closest 260 to your budget.

The XFX 4870 comes in at £113. It's probably a little faster than the 260, but the 260 has batman and 3d glasses if that's any interest to you.

If you want to stick to the orginal £90 budget the 4850 1gb sapphire can be had for £92.

4870 or 260 (make sure it is the 216sp version not 192)
