Card upgrade to play BF3

it also depends on your processor, I tried to upgrade a friends pc with a core2duo e6300 from a nvidia GT430 to a GTX460. It made no difference in most games: DX:HR high 25-30fps, BF3 beta 18-25fps (lowest) on 1440x900.

In the end i took the same gtx460 and paired it with a sandybridge, now i get 60+fps on high

To clarify for the OP, just want to point out that B-grade products only has 3 months warranty and could just come as a bare card with no accessory or not in original box. Ignore what the description says about 3 years warranty.
 
Good point yes they do come with OCUK 90 day warranty, but reason I added this is it is a Gigabyte Card and they have UK RMA and the full 3 years warranty is still with them from date of purchase. To find out what "maybe" missing I would call OCUK, normally it's a driver disk or some power cable missing if anything is missing (things that normally stay in the box anyway for most users). So really it is a good deal still.
 
+1 on that 6870.

Looks like it has a half decent cooler setup on it too!

I have an HIS HD6870 with the Iceq cooler, it's the nuts for the money you pay.
