After a few opinions about graphics cards in the £120 - £160 range for someone, reading through all the threads there appears to be no definite answer at the moment. So far the choices being looked at are HD5850 / 6850 vs a GTX460 or wait till the end of January to see what the GTX560 is like. Ideally the card wants to be running games like BFBC2 max out (AA is a bonus) and future proof for BF3.

All opinions are welcome even the fanatics :D
 
I would say the 5850... out performs the 6850 and 460.

Believe the Geforce 560 will be well over £200.

I would say this card...

It was on sale for a little less but still at £149.99 its a cracking deal, especially with the type of cooler it comes with would normally cost £20 more.

I have a 5850 can max out all the games I got at 1920x1080 and get plenty high frames will last a while.
 
At the moment its looking best to wait and see what happens in January regarding price drops and the GTX560 release, thanks for the opinions.
