looking to upgrade my GTX260oc I was looking at 560ti or 6950 but I was thinking with new card on the horizon perhaps I should consider something like a 2ndhand 6870/5870?

This is all for BF3 will be running at 1680x1050
cpu: Q6600
4GB Ram

cheers
 
If you can afford around £200, get the 6950 or GTX560Ti, these are amazing cards that will play BF3 all day long on high settings, but your CPU and RAM as they are older tech maybe a bit of a bottleneck!

The 6870 is a viable option and I would get it over the 5870 as the 6 series is better in DX11 than the 5 series. Or if you are a Nvidia FanBoy then the GTX560 would do the trick just nicely.

Also make sure you have a decent PSU with 2 6 pin adapters on 2 separate rails to power then and at least 600 watts of power xD
