Need New ATI Graphics card

[Petey_243]

I currently have 2 512 MB ATI Raedon craphics cards hooked up with crossfire bridges.

I want to get a new graphics card that has the cappability to run ARMA 2 Operation Arrowhead with decent FPS. Im only replacing 1 graphics card as money is tight and also i read that crossfire doesn't work the way people say it does so i would just like1 ( For Now )

my budget is between £80.00 - £150.00

I was looking at the ATI Radeon HD 6770 1024MB

What it'll be like with Arma 2, I don't know, but the above looks to be the best for your budget. If you look around the web you might find a 6950 1gb close to £150.

Hi there,

May I ask what make and model number PSU you are currently using?

Also, what CPU are you currently running? (As ARMA2 is a very CPU-heavy game and you wouldn't want the performance of a shiny new graphics card being dragged down by a CPU that isn't at the same level).

The 6870 posted above is I think the best card for your budget. I'm curious about something you said:
