£200 graphics card suggestion

[UncleRuckus]

Hi guys,

I have about £200 to spend on a graphics card.

I'm looking for the best bang for buck, also I think I heard that a new gen of cards is coming out soon should I wait?

All suggestions welcome.

7850 overclocked is the current fave, i think its the GTX660 thats due out in a week or two at about the £2-250 price point but nothing official

Hmmmm it is tempting to wait!

I'm assuming the a GTX if priced at £200 would out perform the 7850?

I had a great offer for a 7950 so went for it, but if I hadn't that's the one I would have gone for.
I'm very happy with its performances, and you can overclock the 7850 to a 7950.

I had a 4890 as well so needed the upgrade, just as you

with the 660 rumored to come out on the 25th, I'd wait a little bit.

MSI for the extra warranty as already stated and they've the better RMA service, made me go for it over the Sapphire in the end, plus in my opinion it looks better and has the better cooler.
