I'm a little out of the loop as I haven't upgraded for a while. I want to go back to Nvidia for my next upgrade and my budget is £150 max, the card must be cool and quiet. I'll be upgrading from an ATI 5770, all advice appreciated.
 
nVidia = 650Ti Boost.

However 7850 is the same price and has more overclocking potential.

Having made the jump myself from 5770 to 7850, there is about a doubling of performance. I would expect the same from the 650Ti Boost.
 
I cannot find any 'new' nvidia card that I could recommend which costs less than £150 nearest best imo £168 (Asus 660 Ti).
 
why say you don't know what you're talking about yet specify nvidia?

I have just been lazy for the last couple of years and I basically have a 2 year gap in my hardware knowledge. However, the simple answer is that I had always used Nvidia before trying the ATI and I'm still an Nvidia snob deep down! The 5770 has been ok though.
 
Okay, thanks all 650 / 660 ti seems to be consensus but I shouldn't rule out 7850 is the message I'm getting. Thanks for the advice, I'll go take a look and try to make my mind up.
