Which gpu?

[Tioga]

Hi guys
I'm looking to get a new graphics card and its long time since ive been up to date with whats good. Budget is £150 really dont want to go over that. In the past i have always had nvidia but happy enough to go ATI if its the better option. All suggestions welcome.

Thanks

what are your current system specs? £150 doesn't seem to be able to buy you much more than it did a year a go :|

I would say the 5770 would be your best bet. Well within budget and scales well with crossfire for future upgrade.

i dont currently have a spec as iam building a new pc. If it help im spending about 600-700 in total. Is my budget for graphics card a bit off, how much more would i have to be spending to nnotice a difference?
Thanks

also think about the gtx 260 (216 core) and the 4890 4890 is faster than the 260, may have come down to the same price as well, both will beat a 5770 in dx9/10 games although power consumption is higher. if you want a gaming rig that will last for a good year or so id only recommend the 5770's if your going to go crossfire at some point or/and want to try out the dx11

spec a crossfire mobo if you do fancy that route

edit: if you can find the 4870's cheap enough you could squeeze 2 of those in crossfire for 150 i think, basically a 4870x2, just a thought
