Card for around £200

[Guest2]

I had a Dell U2711 which I now have £600 back after it was faulty. Looking at 27" displays in that regions there isnt anything IPS without harsh antiglare or poor build/poor warranty. Therefore im thinking about spending £200 on a graphics card (currently have a 5770) and £400 on a monitor.

I'm confused about these 2 cards...

£170 pre-order
OcUK GeForce GTX 480 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card - Bare OEM
Core: 700MHz, Memory: 1536MB 3696MHz GDDR5, Stream Processors: 480, Shader Clock: 1401MHz, SLI Ready, PhysX/CUDA Enabled, 1 Year Warranty.

£325
OcUK Value GeForce GTX 480 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
Core: 700MHz, Memory: 1536MB 3696MHz GDDR5, Stream Processors: 480, Shader Clock: 1401MHz, SLI Ready, PhysX/CUDA Enabled, 2 Years Warranty.

Is an extra 1 year warranty really worth £155, or is the bottom one meant to be a GTX 580?

What card is good for around the £200 mark?

570? 6950?

Yeh, thought that after checking out Bench GPU. This looks pretty good

1 is refurb the other is new, the refurb one was £150 just the other day but been put back up, originally £200 but reduced a bit as a compatior had it cheaper then reduced further to £150. now that the compatitor has sold out put it up to £170.

have a read of this and this


from what I've read the 570 is ment to be more faster than the 6950, even faster then the 6970 tho those were early bench mark not sure whats happened with the drivers since.

for the monitor dell u2410 or if you don't need some of the features in the u2410 have a look at the u2412m.

For that resolution you want at least 1.5GB vram (and better off with 2GB vram if you plan to do SLI/CF)
