Specs:
C2Q Q6600
Radeon 4850 512mb
4GB DDR3
Nox Pulsar 680W power supply

It's a new 2GB GTX 650. Is it worth the upgrade? Is the GTX 650 at a good price for 50$?

I'm on a strict budget so i don't have too many options. I use my PC for gaming at 1680x1050.

Cheers :)

Current proposals:

Nvidia GTX 650 for 50$
Radeon 6870 for 76$

I'm not really concerned about power consuption, just performance. Should I wait another year for a mid range replacement then?

Found a 2nd hand XFX Radeon 6870 1GB for 76$. Is that good value and a worthy upgrade?
