Hi everyone,
Which card do you think I should buy and why? I'd like to spend about $200. I read on AMD's website that the recommended BF3 card is a GTX560 or Radeon HD 6950. I read on here that the 560 is comparable to the 6870 so I'm a little confused as to what model of the Radeon I should be looking at. Thanks for your help!
6870: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=15180BD7578&vpn=HD687AZHFC&manufacture=XFX
560: http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=11610BD6895&vpn=01G-P3-1463-KR&manufacture=EVGA
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Within the next 2 weeks
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming (Battlefield3, Diablo3, Skyrim)
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: GTX 260, XFX 550W
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: MSI P67A - G45, 8 gigs of ram, i5 2500k
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: directcanada.ca generally had the cheapest parts.
PARTS PREFERENCES: My last few cards were nvidia but I'd be willing to switch to Radeon if the price/performance is better
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: No
MONITOR RESOLUTION:1920x1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I'd like to play games at the highest FPS possible while sticking within my budget (obviously )
