Best Graphics card for under £200?

[Shrapnel]

Hi all.

What's the best graphics card for under £200. I have no bias between ati or nvidia. It's going in a full high desktop.

I'll be putting it through it paces with bf4 and my i5.

Thanks

Something like that and even then, your CPU will be massively bottlenecking that card. My advice is to look at replacing your GPU/MOBO/CPU/RAM.

Maybe even look to the second hand market.

Remember the 670 is also under £200 so if you prefer nvidia for any reason then thats another option

Probably the HIS 7950 IceQ.

He said it's for his i5

Cmon Greg, make sure you read the whole thread!!!

Oops and my bad and yer, 7950 all the way

As its for BF4 I would be more swayed towards the 7950, The HIS Iceq to be precise

Thanks everyone.

Mild thread hijack

Would a stock Xeon 3450 (i5-750 with hyperthreading) bottleneck a 7950 too much to make it worth considering?

My monitor supports 1440p, although I am not too bothered about scaling the resolution back to 1080p if needed.

Shrapnel, did you see the today only deal for the HIS HD 7950 for £162?

I am tempted.

EDIT: On second thought, the IceQ is better value for money since it's voltage unlocked and it includes more games.

Bit late now but you could have got the asus 7970 dcuii top(or whatever its called) for a little over £200(well £225).

He said he doesn't prefer Nvidia.
