Hi guys. I'm just looking for some advice as to what card option would be sensible to replace my 4 year old AMD Radeon HD 6800 with? My CPU runs on Intel I7-950 at 3.1 Gz. I'm looking to get a few more years out of this system before I replace from the ground up. Normally i'd replace at 5 years, but am already running into new games which cant handle the older card such as Doom. Ideally, I don't want to spend more than £300, but prefer £250 range. Any suggestions? Cheers!
 
I would be waiting for the new 1070/1080 cards to be released but the prices aren't going to be what you're expecting. It might be a better option to grab a cheap 970/980 as prices are coming down slowly...well, within the 2nd hand market they are.
 
£250/300 may well be the Polaris price range. Id wait and see for sure. Failing that prices will drop across the board sometime after 1070 comes out. Failing that the 390 is still a good card.
