Hi guys i'm looking for a new GPU to play BF3 with.
I currently have a GTX 260 running at 1920x1200 and its just not up to the job and as i'm getting married next year i cant afford to spend a lot on a new one.
My rig set up is;
Q9450 @ 3.5ghz
4GB DDR3
nforce 790i Motherboard
850w Toughpower PSU

Is there any card on the market for around £150 that will allow me to play the game in med+ settings at 1920x1200 or am i pushing my luck?
Cheers
 
what about PowerColor HD 6870 1GB also?

The 560Ti outperforms the 6870 quite a bit. Here is an example:

You're getting around 10% from the 560Ti there so it's a no brainer if you can go to the price of the 560Ti ofc....

The 6870 would play BF3 sure but I'd rather go to war with the 560Ti for the extra tenner or so....

I've heard the 560 overclocks really well too...
 
Yeah may just go with a 560ti, that said my BF3 performance has improved which is odd but they did update the servers so maybe the micro stutter i was having was caused by that?
