Hello guys, this is my first time on the forum and i wondered if anyone could shine some light on my GPU upgrade options.
Ok i was using a HD5870 and it died on me, so i was going to buy another but but found that they are hard to come by for the right price. So back to my system specs:
Intel core i7 920 @ 4ghz
Asus Rampage 2 extreme motherboard (crossfire and sli supported)
6gb OCZ DDR3 1886mhz
240gb OCZ vertex 3 SSD
1050watt PSU
Ok some more information you may require:
This upgrade has to be based on battlefield3 gameplay for maximum settings (ultra).
I ONLY game at 1440x900 resolution.
I dont plan to go SLI/CROSSFIRE in the future (single slot solution only)
I will be overclocking the new GPU.
Budget: £250 MAX
I have had a look through 100s of forums and im hung between 660ti and hd7870. as they seem popular choice for my system but please guys any help would be great. Thanks
