560 Ti upgrade?

[Osirys]

Hi guys!

My GeForce GTX 560 Ti decided to go ape on me today after 4 years (colours everywhere and freezing my PC so I guess it's dead) so i'd like an upgrade.
Could anyone suggest an upgrade?
I'm not playing fancy games just World of Warcraft and Diablo so i'm looking for a budget upgrade somewhere around £80-100 maybe. I'd consider paying more if I wouldn't be able to get anything for that price.

EDIT: my motherboard is ASUS® P8P67 PRO (NEW REV 3.0): USB 3.0/SATA 6Gb/s, CrossFireX™ & SLI
my power supply is CORSAIR 650W TX SERIES (TX650)
Thank you in advance!

Price range is a bit low what resolution are you gaming at ?

You might be better off looking at something in the 2nd hand market for that price range. Alternatively there is this

*B Grade** GeForce GTX 760 WindForce 3x OC Rev2 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £99

As above, nothing new for less than £100 is faster than your 560 Ti.

A GTX 950 or R7 370 are your best bet new, they're £116-140.

If you just want something as fast, a 750 Ti or R7 360 will do the job for about £100.

I've just had a quick look at fleebay there's an evga gtx 680 sc signature 2 for £115 with evga superb warranty I've give the seller a message as a 680 is a great upgrade from a 560 Ti backed up by evgas warranty

Used 680SC indeed going to be a huge upgrade, also look for used R9 290s (non reference cooler ones) if any.

Or wait for the RX 470 that is going to be around £100 mark and is much better card, supporting DX12 and Async. Something the 680 doesn't.

I sold my GTX 770 for £70 used (was in good condition too), would be quite a significant upgrade compared to the 560 TI.

Wow, didn't know 2nd hand cards of that caliber is so cheap nowadays. We have come a long way!

To be fair that was 'mates rates' but I had a look on fleabay beforehand and the prices were not far off at all, pretty confident you could get one at auction for around £80.

I don't think the 470 will be that cheap, it's not cut down much from the 480 (it only loses 256 shaders), it's not going to be half the price. The lowest I'd expect is £150, and even that's being optimistic.

To be fair, when the 480 was launched on day one there were 4GB cards available for £178.99 so hopefully the 470 will be £150 and under. That would be a touch because the 470 isn't much worse in spec compared to the 480 so would still be a very good 1080p card.

The thing is old gen Nvidia is like food product passed the "Best before date". Old gen graphic will still performance at peak performance for games there were release before EOL...but for any games that are released after EOL, the cards won't have the same performance, due to the software/driver team moved onto focusing on working on new architecture of new gen cards, so you would basically have a 770 at 770 performance in the old games, but at 750ti~760 or lower performance in new games.

Nvidia cards performance rely heavily on driver and optimisation for performance, so old cards for new games would not be a good idea.
