GFX Card suggestions for rendering

Hi all, I know I've asked this before.

Previously, I had a GTX 460 1GB which rendered relatively well in Vegas Pro 11/12.

Since asking about a new graphics card for rendering/gaming, I was suggested the HD Radeon 7850, which does a nice treat when it comes to gaming. However, Vegas isn't about to utilise the graphics card to help with rendering.

My question is, say with a budget of £200 (£250 would be pushing it), can someone suggest a graphics card/a few, that are cable of being used in line with Vegas to help previewing and rendering?

Thanks :)

My system at the moment:
Power Supply: XFX 650W Pro Power supply
CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.60GHz Sandybridge CPU
Motherboard: Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION **
Graphics card: MSI HD 7850 Twin Frozr III OC 2048MB GDDR5
Cooler: Corsair H50 CPU Cooler
RAM: Corsair 16 GB Vengeance 240-pin DIMM DDR3-RAM 1600 MHz
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6GB/s
 
I'm new here, but what about the 660ti? - It's in that budget and is pretty hefty, my friend uses a 560(I think) in vegas and it does well, he's looking at moving to a 660/670 shortly. I myself do 3d renders in CAD and am planning on a 670 :)
 
It's almost a shame really, I went for the 7850 based on suggestions here in another post I made >_<

Originally, well, at the time I planned on going for the 560ti.

Need to find out if anyone fancies having a relatively new 7850, or see if something could be exchanged :/

Appreciate the suggestions everyone :)
