...you are not asking a lot for a £150 card are you?
...unless you are gaming at below 1920 res...
I would say a 7970/280x should be the bare minimum for your expectation...and when Mantle feature get implemented next month, the performance boost might be just enough to make it deliver better frame rate than it current can. To be frank though, if taking Mantle out of the equation, I would get the 290 Pro at least (but would wait for customer cooled cards rather than cards with reference cooler).
If you are only gaming on 1680 res, I would imagine a 7950 would be the most optimal in terms of weighting the cost vs performance vs your expectation. You just have to try to find one at £180 or below.
You ain't the first person having problem with the Antec 300 for fitting larger cardA bit of a fail here...
My new card does not fit inside my Antec 300 case! I thought the card would be around the same size but did not research
I think the only option is to buy a larger case, I havent got much of a budget but does anyone know a case that will allow me to install the card problem free? There's 100s on the website but I was wanting a little help. This also got me thinking whether the card would be compatible with the rest of my PC...
I have a Asus P7P55D-E mobo (it has 2 x PCI slots but only require one with this card...the mobo its small factor I believe and I have a OCZ Stealth xstream 2 600W.
