£150

[mato]

I need to stop faffing around and actually buy a gfx card now I have the rest of my system.

Basically I have £150 to spend, could stretch it slightly if it's worth it. Based on past experience I would really prefer Nvidia, but happy to take suggestions for both.

Mainly playing fps games, at 1920x1200.

Do the Sapphire 7850s have any advantage over their MSI and Gigabyte counterparts?

I've heard much better things about the latter two's RMA process, that's all.

Thanks for the advice. Looks like everyone's reached a consensus xD

Doesn't matter. If it takes a long time, it takes a long time.

That's what I thought. Just wondering why EVERYONE suggested the Sapphire one.

I never suggested Sapphire, in fact just took delivery of my Gigabyte 7850 2GB this morning

True, you didn't is it up and running? The Gigabyte's looking like the best option tbh

Thanks for the responses.

Don't really want to go second hand as the warranties for many of the manufacturers aren't transferable, and in every system I've ever owned, the graphics card has been the first thing to die. That's the main reasons I was keen to go nvidia this time.
