Graphics Card Recommendation

[Masterdeadly]

Hello guys,

Having seen this new deal hit OCUK i was wondering what the best option is for my £200 budget ? I've looked everywhere and was about to purchase the Asus 1GB GeForce GTX 560TI DirectCUII for £167. Then this cropped up on OCUK just now:
http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-267-AS.

I'm running at 1680x1050

Setup:
AMD Phenom x4 965 Black Edition @3.90Ghz
Corsair 1666Mhz x4
1TB Seagate Barracuda @7200RPM
ATI Radeon 5750
OCZ Slipstream 650W

As you can see my GFX card is severly letting me down so i wondered if you were in my shoes what would you go for with £200?

Cheers guys.

What 6950 2Gb can i get for under £200 then ? I'm so eager to upgrade because BF3 isn't running that well currently due to the 5750.

What are the differences between the TOP then ? i'm not even sure what that means. At £167 i could get the non TOP version but for £193 i could get the TOP with BF3 and Batman Arkham City to sell.

I can't spot any 2gb 6950's under £200 btw.

The TOP version is factory overclocked. Not by a large amount so don't let that influence your decision. the games that come with it would probably be redeemable vouchers rather than hard copies.

They would still have a resale value isn't that right ?

 

[Masterdeadly]

Yep.

Then it doesn't make much difference to me lol. I just need to find out if it will fit in my Mobo.

Maybe the same card non TOP version for £167 is the better option then.

Have you already got the batman game? Supposed to be excellent. I'd imagine you would probably get close to £20 for bf3 alone.

I haven't no and i have heard that it is immense but I've got so many games on the go right now i'm alright in that department. I'm sure i could get £20 for BF3 too not sure on Batman, possibly £20 aswell ? It's just extra effort really.

I'm trying to see what my best option is with £200 as a maximum budget

I see you have changed your sig to a 6950 already? A late change of heart lol?

My brother used to use this account to post on here and ever since the signature has been stuck. That is his setup lol xD

 

[Masterdeadly]

Ah right. in that case get that 560ti TOP ordered and decide what to do with the games later! i don't think the non TOP card is on offer anymore.

I can get the non TOP version for £167 elsewhere, what do you think i should do ?

Waiting on the 78xx/79xx myself. I would take the 2gb card over 1gb any day though, probably fine with the 1gb at the moment but depends how long you want the card to last you.

Yeah well i was going to go for an MSI Twin Frozr III R6950 2GB for £220 if i was to go for a 2GB card because i've heard a lot of good things about it.

As for 1GB i'm set on the Asus, it's just a pain making my mind up.
