Good upgrade from a 6850?

Currently have about £150-£170 to play with.

Got a 760 from the bay for £150 that went sour, long story short the bay are getting me my money back.

Can't buy until monday/tuesday so any cards on offer probably won't help, but a nudge in the right direction would be nice.

PC specs are i5 760 @ 4ghz, 8gb ram, p7p55d.

How about:

HIS HD 7870 IceQ X 2048MB £144

270x rebrand
Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Boost OC 2048MB £150

HIS Radeon R9 270X IceQ X2 Boost 2048MB £150


Personally I would see if you can find another £30 and get one of these:

HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST 3072MB £200

Cheapest 760

OcUK GeForce GTX 760 2048MB £180

Inno3D GeForce GTX 660TI Herculez 2000S 2048MB £180

I think the cheapest 760 will be about the fastest card for around your budget, though I'd probably prefer a 7870 / 270x or 660ti card with a better cooler. I guess it depends on how sensitive to noise you are, and if you game with headphones or not.
