Hi there, Im looking to upgrade my graphics card and ive been looking at ati 6950 an unlocking it to a 6970, I could get a used one for about £160 or a little over that, my question is.. is it worth it? or maybe another card in that price range is worth looking at? I was also thinking about a used gtx570...?

thanks for any help

7850, nothing else comes close as it overclocks like a beast.

Cheers! is it faster than 6950 or is it just because of the newer technology?

check this out http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/549?vs=510 and the 7850 clocks like hell

For a £150 budget the 6950 is great. Its fast and got loads of VRAM so it'd suit you better than the GTX 570.

For ~ £180 the 7850 is the 'king'. Very quick card and overclocks really well. If your budget reaches one of these id go for it.
