Best card for £100?

[reflux]

So there seem to be two competitors at this price point - the 650Ti and the 7770. Most sites seem to be saying the 650Ti is faster, but some of the 7770s available have crazy clocks (I'm looking at you - Sapphire), so which would be better?

I'd go for the GTX650ti personally, looking at benchmarks it is better.

6970's check the member market

You can get some great deals in the MM,

As above a 6970 is amazing for that price.

Thanks guys, a 6970 would indeed be a good bet.. in fact all of those are decent options

Some of those are way over budget there Humbug, I agree that after you sell the games they could be much closer to the budget but you still need the capital in buy them in the first place.

Stating the obvious

Nothing wrong with throwing a much faster card in the mix if its not that much more money.

50% more is quite a bit more tbh. when you've £100 that's what you've got. doesn't help to go telling people they need to spend more.

5850 better than 650ti or 7770?

5850 better than 650ti or 7770?

650ti > 5850 > 7770.

I had been using a 5850 just before christmas and if the 650ti is better than that as arcacss has said, then you won't be disappointed.
