The best Graphics card I can get for £160

[jammy2232]

I just returned a XFX Radeon 4850 "XXX" edition as it was faulty as soon as my refund is through am going to buy a new card, prefereably not and XFX one due to my bad experience. But am not sure what to get. I want the best preformance I can, am looking to play crysis on at least high everything at a reolution about 1440x900 roughly.

My other specs fro reference are
intel core 2 duo 7400
4Gb 6400 RAM
Giga - byte GA-P43-SL3
OCZ 700W power supply
Vista home premium 64bit


Just wondering that the best GFX I can get for £160.

Both have good non-reference coolers, and perform nearly identical. Although the Gainward is pre-overclocked, so that would be faster straight out of the box.

As said a 55nm GTX260 or 4870 (1gb) will do just fine, bear inmind most 260's will clock to a speed that will give GTX285 performance on the reference cooler, in general read benchies for the games you play, If you love crysis nVida is the way to go, but for the Grid fans an ATi card is a better option.

Decisions, decisions, ethier way I'm sure you won't be dissapointed with the performance of whichever card you choose...
