Alternative to GTX 460 1GB?

[Bc_31]

After attempting to play the BF3 beta on my creaky old gt 120, I've decided to upgrade. I want at least the GTX 460's performance, and I am willing to spend up to about 175 on a card. Does anyone know of a card that would be a better deal? I am open to amd, nvidia, and any well known vendor.
Thanks in advance

The 6850 and GTX 460 are pretty even, so whichever is cheapest is probably the best deal, and if you can find a 6870 around the same price that would be an even better deal.

I would get that, they usually overclock above 900 and can beat a 6870.

The HD 6870 would be a good choice, and fits the budget. The 6850 would be about the same as the GTX 460.
