Best Video Card around $250?

[TheGreek21]

Hey guys I am upgrading my current system from the pny 9800 gtx 512 mb to a new video card. My budget is $250 so what should i get?

Sorry I forgot to put my specs.
Intel i5 2500k
700W OCZ power supply
8gb ddr3
Gigabyte Z-series motherboard.
I play games such as Skyrim MW3 Battlefield and can't wait for Diablo 3

the 6950 or 560ti is your choice

either is good. the 6950 is slightly faster at stock but the 560ti is better for OC. both cards are about the same speed once you OC both. the 1gb 6950 is enough as no game will use more than that for 1080p gaming.

2GB 6950

Both those cards are very good options.But since the release of Nvidia's new lineup is only a few months away and AMD is still launching the rest it's middle to upper class cards I suggest waiting a bit to see what the market does.Or maybe even get one of those cards.

Ill probably go with the gtx 560 ti
