6850 or GTX 560

[Grantt]

Trying to decide what card to buy. Not got mega money to splash on one. I can spend between £100-160 probably. So anyone got any experience with the two?

Was about to order the 560 then read some reviews on the 6850 and that sounded good so not sure which to buy. I will mostly be gaming mostly wow, bf games like that.

The 6850 is on par with the 460 at standard speeds, and is a <£100 card.

If you could stretch to £170, get yourself a 6950, they're a nice step up

Might look into a 6950 if it's only a little extra haha.

Thanks mate

Edit: just found one for £137. Might order it tonight or tomorrow.

Think you could just about pick up a second hand gtx 580 for that price and defo a gtx 570 which are both better cards. If you can really stretch it i would advise on getting a 7850 and overclock.
