Hello All,

I have a budget of £130 for a card new / used


I dont have a decent monitor as yet but hoping to spend £200 on one if that helps.

Just checking for a bottleneck, though you'll have no possible worries at all with that spec.

Both cards will handle most settings nicely at 1080p.

I'd go for that instead of the 460 / 6870.
