I was looking at this card too
I had a 7850 2bg before
Would this be better do you think?
cheers
Probably about the same, maybe slightly less. Its Nvida's answer to the 7850
Seriously
Ok so theres nothing better i can get for £200
Might be able to push it a little more
Any recomendations?

I don't think you can get anything better than a 7850 for £200
7870, used 7950 maybe but I think he prefers nvidia cards as he wouldn't of got rid of the 7850 otherwise I presume.

The 660 is equal to the 7870. In both price and performance.

Nothing short of second hand will blag you an Nvida card that also beats an AMD counterpart tbh. At your pricerange.
£200 = 660/7870
£230 = 660/7950
£250 = 660ti/7950
£200 = 660/7870
£230 = 660/7950
£250 = 660ti/7950

660 peforms pretty good here in bf3 against the 7950

BF3 performs better with nvidia cards. Unfair comparison unless that's the only game you play.
Na i play bf3 with friends from time to time but tbh i play a bit of everything
heres the 660 vs 7850 http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/549?vs=660
what would you pick out of those cards?
I know you don't want another amd card but for performance for money amd is beating nividia (I don't care what side I buy from all I care about is price vs performance)
If you can stretch to it go for a 7950 otherwise I would say keep the 7850 tbh.

hmm
ive sold the 7850
ok, so if i go back to amd, whats the best 7950 i should get?
i dont mind stretching the budget slightly
This is the cheapest and probably a little noisy without setting a fan profile http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-049-HS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1673
I would recommend this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-148-MS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1673

Not really...the so-called "faster on average", according to anandtech, the 7870 is like 4fps faster in Metro2033, 1fps faster in Skyrim, and in Shogun 2 with the same frame rate and in Civ5 with 10fps ahead, however in Batman the 660 is 4fps ahead, Starcraft II 24fps ahead, BF3 8fps ahead . So it is the case or win some lose some on both cards. However if BF3 is the main game, and not playing older games like Metro2033 and Civ5, the GTX660 is no-brainer really for the newer titles.
