Advice please

[Grumpyjim]

Hi

I'm looking for a bit of advice on graphics cards that will run COD Black Ops2. I've got up to £150 to spend but am aware that the most expensive isn't always the best. Also don't know which is better of Nvidia or AMD for that price

Grateful for views

Thanks

Jim

Might be worth taking a look at the benchmarks in this review, they give a fairly good overview of where things are.

Why did they test the 7850 1gb edition and not the 2GB?

Anyway, 660 seems the best bet.

There doesn't seem much difference in the 1Gb and 2Gb 7850's until you get passed 1920x1080 anyways

Are those cards overclocked?

I am playing black ops 2 absolutely fine with a 6870 at 1080p so all you need is a 7850 or 660.

7850 for the win! Although the 2gb version for future proofing a bit wouldn't hurt.

+1, I would recommend 7850 for a cod game. Though definitely the 2gb version for the games that will be coming out

7850, its cheaper and has higher overclocking potential.
