sorry psu she has...typo - which card is better at the 100 pounds mark

This is in US dollars, but is pretty comprehensive and should help. The last page has a hierarchy.

Edit: 650 isnt in the lineup yet because its brand new. Should fall right between the 450 and 660.

The 650 is fairly new so isnt that easy to find benchmarks, but I know the 550ti is better than the 650 so based on this:

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/541?vs=539

I'd say the 6850.

i found bench marks for gtx 650 and it claims to be better
than 550ti what do u think ?

scratch that, the test was flawed both cards where tested in different
rigs .... so older amd 6850 or new gtx 650 85

gtx 650 = 89 pounds gbp
amd 6850 = 100 pounds

 

[paddys09]

Well Toms has it benchmarked slightly better and Techpower up has it slightly lower its within a couple of %, pretty much equal.... Its too early to see truly reliable benchmarks

The 6850 still beats them both, another card to consider is the 7770, it depends on the games played but can be faster than the 6850 and uses less power

I would go with the 6850 or the 7770.
