ATI HD 6870

[fonzaye]

What NVIDIA card is equal to/similar to the 6870?
I am thinking of getting the 6870 for my £650 build computer and would just like to know what is the exact match of this card in NVIDIA.


Note: Processor is a 2500k.

would say a gtx 470 is about the same

id really advise on getting a gpu with more than 1gig memory these days, especially if you intend to play battlfield 3 at 1080p.

1.5gb ram is still not enough for bf3 but its better than 1gb

2gig nvidia 560ti for 193. 30pound more than 1gb version.

for a £650 build. i doubt he will drop a £200 card into it without sacrificing something major on the list. he maby dosent play bf3.

Still the 560ti 1GB will game very well at 1080... Be fine with BF3 on high settings.
