Not really worth it on a budget like that. The best you can manage is a 1GB 7850 at 130, which isn't significantly faster.

Ok thanks for the advice i think i might get the 6870 as i sold my 6850 for £85 and the 6870 is only £75 .

Actually, an HD7850 could provide a noticeable boost, depending on what games the OP plays:

I know your budget doesn't allow for it anyway, but I wouldn't go much higher than an HD7870 as that processor could start bottlenecking if you are not overclocking it.

Just hop on the 7850 then, thats the best there is at that price, and happens to offer the best value for performance of any card there is at the moment.
