Do you have a specific price range and are you bothered about heat, noise, power etc?
You might want to consider the gtx480 for a little more or 7850 perhaps. They are a big step up in performance for the money.
 
About 170 to 200 at a push any more wife would blow a fuse anyway was going to get the sap 7850 on offer last week but just waiting on refund from oc to be put in my bank my set up is.

So noise power np as its not far from tv so i can watch movies on r big tv and the card i have in atm runs at 27oc idle using afterburner.
 
your wife is letting you have money? well thats generous of her XD

Id still be tempted to get a 560Ti :)
 
Yeah a good price gigabyte seems a good name got a grade b 450gtx in atm as i needed a spare while my R6870 went off for rma first time glad i got it runs idle at 27 most game i have played with it like tera 48 with all on max so i might be worth a go.
 
Ok i like the gigabyte but was going to get another msi hawk the R7870 the 1 for sale at 239.99 just wanted to know if anyone here has one and did they have problems with it like i did with my R6870 fan problems then sending me a broken 1 .
