GPU for £135 max

Or you could get something like a 5870 off the members market for like £100 give or take a few quid which comfortably outperforms the 6850.

If you don't want 2nd hand then yeah within budget that Cyclone 6850 is a nice deal.

If it was me, I would (as above) wait for AMD 7000 series to be released, which will hopefully be soon and get the cheapest one you can get....if anything it might lso bring down the prices of the AMD 6000 series so that a 6870 is in your budget or maybe even a 6950 1GB !!
 
70C at load isnt that bad for a GPU imo.

I'd seriously recommend waiting a week or two for details of AMDs 7000 series. Even if the new cards announced don't suit, it'll shift the price of almost every other card.
 
Hmm that's interesting. I'm not sure that I can really wait for the 7000s to come out. The articles about it seems to say the early part of the year but it could be months...I certainly don't have the patience for that.

With regards to buying a gpu from the MM, it's left a sour taste in my mouth. So, if it came down to it what would you buy? Is there anything substantially better around the £150 mark?
