Nvidia 560ti or an AMD 2GB 6950 if you can stretch a bit more cash

Going from the GTX460 to GTX560Ti/6950 wouldn't be much of an upgrade...I say you best push the budget to £235~£250 for a GTX570.

so the gtx570 is much better

570.

Well, going from GTX460 to GTX560Ti/6950 is more on an 1 teir upgrade, whereas going from the GTX460 to GTX570 would be more of a 1.5 to 2 teirs upgrade.

6950 2GB was good when it was still at £180~£205 price range as despite it is a bit slower than the GTX570, it was quite a bit cheaper as GTX570 was around £270-£280. But now with the price of the average 6950 2GB rised to £225~£250, and GTX570 can be grabbed for £250, it would make more sense to go with the GTX570.

Some people like to recommend the Sapphire 6950 2GB Toxis due to is possibility to unlocked to a 6970, there is still a chance of it won't unlocked successfuk despite the odds of success seem to be higher than fail according to the owners. However, the Sapphire 6950 2GB Toxic charge a preimum for its "chance" to unlock to a 6970, and is sold at a higher price than the average 6950 2GB with it being sold at £240~£250.
