think about upgrade to the KFA2 GeForce GTX 770 LTD OC I have BitFenix Prodigy in white have the 98z77-i deluxe h100i and 600w Power Supplies I have the evga 660 oc is it worth me upgrade

7870 still good upgrade option to last me 2-3 years? My 260 has lasted me nearly 4 years ha.

Yeah it be a decent upgrade. I went from the same card as yours to an overclocked GTX470 which is fairly similar in performance to a 7870 and it was a great upgrade. The 7870 will be at least twice as fast. If you can stretch just a little bit more then a 7950 will be a fantastic buy and with the extra VRAM will last just that little bit longer.

Is your budget still £150?

YOUR BASKET
1 x HIS HD 7950 IceQ BOOST 3072MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (H795QC3G2M) **FREE SHIPPING** £185.99
1 x Sapphire Radeon R9 270X Boost OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Card £146.99
Total : £332.98 (includes shipping : FREE).



The 270X is basically a 7870LE, these are well known to trade blows with stock 7950s. The 7950 has more VRAM, free shipping and some decent free games, worth the extra me thinks Just make sure the 7950 will fit in your case.

Yes under £150 what would be the Nvidia equivalent to the 7870?

 

[Avenged7Fold]

I would say the equivalent is a GTX 660
