Best Graphics Card Between £150-£200

Or the MSI GTX560Ti Twin Frozr II 2GB for under £200. Think it will be out in few days' time.

Could be worth it, but the 6950 is the faster card.

Has Ben3991 said whether he intends to overclock his new card or not?

yes on paper the 6950 may be a slightly quicker card, however on plenty of benchmarks the 560ti performs better in certain games depending on if the game runs better on nvidia or ati. At the end of the day there isnt a lot in it 560ti or 6950 especialy if you want and get the msi 2gig version of the 560ti. So think it comes down more to price and preference nvidia or ati.....ive had both cards over the years and although im currently ati historicaly i prefere nvidia.

I'm also looking for advice here, setting up for Skyrim. I was looking at a budget of £200 as well, but could be tempted to go to around £250 for something with 2GB for a bit of future proofing. I wouldn't be overclocking at this point.

What would be best for BF3 @ 1680x1050 in the same price range?

On paper? No, the 6950 is the faster card as a matter of fact. Let's not get into questionable benchmarks. The GTX 570 is also only slightly quicker than the 6950. You're not suggesting that the 560Ti is as fast as a GTX 570?
