Need some help finding a new gfx card

[geordie12]

Hi All....my GFX card is getting a long in the tooth and I have been thinking of an upgrade...however I am hoping to avoid replacing my mobo, cpu etc etc.

At the moment I have a gigabyte GA-Z68AP-D3. If has a PCI Express x 16 slot but I think it's running an older standard of PCI Express 2.0 wheree all the newer cards seem to be on 3.0.

So I guess the help I need is whats the best card for sub £200 that I can get that will run with this mobo?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Currently running a Radeon HD 6900, and I have an intel i5 2500K which is overclocked to about 4GHz.

Ah good news on the backwards compatable stuff...so if I wanted to I could go for a new Radeon RX 470 or something?

Brilliant, thank you!

It's revision 1.0....is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Thanks for the help all...I decided to go with a RX 470...it's a massive jump from what I have no and for the use I have it's probably plenty good enough.

Ordered with OC yesterday so should be being delivered in the next hour or so!
