What GFX card for £120ish

[Nursie]

My graphic card went before Christmas so it needs replacing, I had planned on waiting and doing a up grade to a i5 system a bit later this year but that plan has had to be changed. So it's gfx card now and the rest in a month or two.

Budget is about £120, after looking at various threads today the general concensus seems to be a HD 6850 or the Nvidia GTX 460 SC.

I've seen a sapphire HD 6870 1gb card from a different retailer for £125 and I assume that would be the card to go for £15 over a HD6850 & £5 over the nvidia.

Would that be correct?

Probably the 6870 tbh. That's really the minimum you'll need if you want to play games like BF3 at higher settings.
