Hey guys, i bought an i5-760 for £120 so i have a quad core for BF3, now im looking for a graphics card in the £150 range
but if there is something much better for say £175ish id probably get it. I play at 1680x1050 and im upgrading from a Sapphire 5830.

£150 will get you a 6870 or a 560, which'd be a step up, albeit not a huge one. For a noticeable improvement at this point you'd either have to get something like a 2GB 6950 or run two cards. Put that 5830 in Crossfire with a £99 5850 and you'll get more performance than a 2GB 6950'd get you (which costs around £200), but only 1GB of memory, which may or may not be a problem in BF3.

I wouldn't get a decent upgrade over my 5830 for £150-175? I thought the 5830 wasn't that good anymore looking at benchmarks. Though i can play BC2 on high, im thinking more of BF3.
 
Sorry i meant to say that i was really trying to avoid crossfire and if i wanted a single gpu your thinking i need to spend £200ish to see a difference?
 
Yeah i was hoping to play on med/high at 1680x1050. I may just wait for the new series and sell my 5830 for £50-60.
