Need new graphics card

[subbass]

Hi,

I currently have the HD3850 card 256mb and need some suggestions as to what to get.

I would like a graphics card that is capable of playing games like Batman and Assassins Creed 2 and is low in power consumption. I'm not too bothered if it's ATI or Nvidia. My max budget is around £100.

Thanks

Out of those 2, id pay the extra pound for the 1gb

I'd imagine the 5 series would have much lower power consumption than the 4870... tho depends what important to you - the 5750 is the only one that comes under your budget and is closer to the 4850 than 4870 in performance, the 5770 is probably closer to your demands for power and performance but slightly over £100.

Go an extra £26.99 and get the 5770 vapor-x.

I'd probably say the 1gb 4870 also, as it is only £1 over your budget and will provide the best performance in the games you say you play.

Since when was the 4870 low in power?

Since the 5870, pretty much everything's relatively low in power

Ain't that the truth.

Thanks for the replies.

How about this one http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-217-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=708
Comes with Dirt 2 voucher, so quite tempting

How much better is the 5770 compared to the 5750?

I guess I can up my budget a little if it's more worth it

I think you'll find it's worth it to push up to the 5770
