Yer fair point
I didn't think the 6850 was that much ahead of the 460 but I trust in Anandtech.

Hardly any difference tbh, 460 beats it in a lot of games by a good margin.
I'd call them equals

B Grade Gainward vs brand new MSI, I know which one I'd rather take.
At least the OP has two variables for his £100 and both do the job. Mt recommendation is a B Grade though, where as Cleee's is Brand new. I would go for the new if it was me but that doesn't mean there is anything wrong with the B Grade.

Just noticed op already has a 285, I don't think its worth an upgrade tbh, 285 is not much slower than a 460 afaik.

He'd need at least a 560 ti/6950 to make it worthwhile He could sell his 285 for what? 60-70 pounds? Add that to his 100 pound budget then he'd have enough for a good upgrade.
