New GPU?

[sreeve1993]

Hey guys,

Feel like its needed to upgrade my gfx card. However, I can't decide what to go for?
My price range is around £120-200.

Rig is:

Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor
MSI HD 6850 Cyclone Power Edition 1024MB GDDR5
Corsair XMS3 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
ASRock Z68 Extreme4 Gen3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard


Your opinions will be interesting

I know they are all AMD before anyone moans

But decent cards at decent prices in my lowly opinion.

A 270x will give you approx double the performance of a 6850.

I was more interested going for Nvidia but after seeing those other cards, tempted to stick with AMD.

The 270x is unbelievable and decent for the price.

What are your opinions on these cards?

Cant really go wrong for 1080p gaming(assumed 1080p)with any of these cards although the 280 has the edge and would be my choice. The Hawk looks cool and is silly cheap.

 

[sreeve1993]

Yeah my resolution is 1080p. This is a hard choice!


Thank you everyone for your help

I'd go for the 4gb 760 /\ though the 280 is hardly a bad choice either

Thanks for the help guys, all of these are great cards! But might go for the 760, fancy going back to Nvidia

The 280 and 760 are fairly comparable on performance. So either is good. I'd probably do the same and pick the 760 just for the extra VRAM and Watch Dogs.
