Need a cheap card for bf3 @1680x1050

I know i want to use MM but i need 180 days on the forums lol!!!

So if i buy a card and at 89 days it goes dead ill be refunded? The seller gets refunded also or has to pay the bay back?

You'll need to dispute it with PayPal. If the seller has stated no returns then you probably won't.

It's an imprecise science, but PayPal tend to side with the buyer. Tbh, I'd stay clear of eBay.

dont rule out the 6950 card too,they are decently priced used

Weehamish, what's your budget for a used 5870?

 

[weehamish]

I dunno what do they normally sell for? i read the 5870 are better then the 6950s? Also if im having trouble with the 7850 id want older then the 6950, i think the 5870 is the same gen as the 285?

5870 is same gen as 480 ( kind of )

5870=6870 roughly

6950>6870

The 6950s tend to got for around £110

No price checks outside the MM!

FWIW I got a 7850 off the MM here last week, they are sterling little cards and great for their gaming ability/price ratio.

Not really. The 5870 is better in everything pretty much. Check this chart here http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/511?vs=540

Also use it for other comparisons.
