Next logical upgrade step for my graphics card....

[StevieP]

I'm currently running the setup in my sig and up to now I've not noticed a problem running any of my games until I got Bad Company 2 in the Steam sale and it doesnt seem to run too smoothly!

Anyway, I'd like some advice on the best bang for buck upgrade for me please

A few of my mates have gone for the GTX 460's but I've read about a new ATi card thats supposedly better at a similar price point!?!?

Budget realistically £150 - £200!

Any recommendations welcome

Thanks.....

Thanks for all the replies guys!

I've not bothered with more overclocking mainly coz I didnt think it was going to make much of a difference!
I just ramped it up to 2.7GHz because I was comfortable with the temperatures and wasnt playing anything that needed any extra oomph! (I'm not the best at applying the thermal paste - bit heavy handed! )

I'll ramp up the CPU to 3.0GHz+ and see how that affects things........but I know what I'm like, I'll still want a gfx upgrade!! (apart from anything else, I want to be able to flog my 260 before its worthless!)

Thanks again guys....

How does a 470 compare to the 460 in real terms? Also, is there a noticable difference between the 768mb 460's and the 1gb 460's??

Thanks....
