Which graphics card for £110

[ProjectBobcat]

I'm in the market for new graphics card, I do a lot of graphic work using large files and a bit of gaming (mostly older steam games and Battlefield 3 at the moment). I would like support for 3 monitors during gameplay if possible and have a budget of £110 inc postage.

Specwise, I run a Intel Core i7 2600k 3.4GHz Socket 1155 Processor on a
Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 Z68 ATX Motherboard.

Thanks!

3 screen eyefininty gameplay on a £100ish GPU? that won't be very good..

Are you happy to go secondhand?

A 7850 2GB might run games like Team Fortress 2/Left4Dead 2/Counter-Strike Source on 3 screen no problem...but for the more recent demanding game such as BF3...no...just no.

Even on a single 1920 res screen, the 7850 2GB won't be able to run it on Ultra with high frame rate (i.e. constant 45fps+).

Thanks for the replies, yes I'd be happy to go secondhand but perhaps I need to revise my budget or expectations, the multiple monitor idea was really because I already have them for work (design) purposes.

Can I revise my question, what sort of money would I be looking at for my original question and secondly, what sort of thing should I be looking at for my current budget?

Thanks

Just to clarify , will you be gaming on 3 monitors ?

What card do you currently have?

 

[ProjectBobcat]

A old Geforce GT240, my machines not cutting edge but even so, this is definitely the weak point.

Mickyflinn, I would like to be able to game on three but I cant currently so its not essential.

 

[mickyflinn]

A 7950 would be a good starting point which you could xfire in the future especially when gaming on 3 monitors.

£110? Hm, 3 screens and gaming with smooth FPS? Tight budget man.

The 650ti boost or 7770 are the only cards in that price range tbh, second hand GTX460 or something might be better.
