Had this card(5870) just on 2 years ish and after an upgrade..
Can push to £200ish..
Seems the 7950 is what everyones championing at the minute..
Is this my best option and will it be big leap from the 5870..?
Also whats best 7950 if im going down that route..
Cheers;)
running a i7 machine on a P67pro Asus 16g Vengeance mem(just doubled from8G) and a 256 M4 SSD that ive just fitted..
So the G card will finish my upgrade off.

Not too worried wether its gigabyte or not seems a little too expensive for me that anyway wasnt wanting to be pushing it above £220/240 really..Usually in the past ive gone for Saphires
Wahat about the 7870XT(£191) or should i be stretching to get a 7950..

Check out the video I posted in this thread. Seems like it might be worth considering (approx 7950 performance and save some dough at the same time) :
