Graphics card for ~£200

[Damian Grunwald]

Hello, I'm looking for a good graphics card for around ~£200. It could be a little bit more but just over like £20, not more. I'm looking for a gaming graphics card which could run games like Battlefield 3, Max Payne 3 and other big games on ultra settings.

My PC:
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-2400 CPU @ 3.10GHz x4 ~3101MHz
8 GB RAM - 2x4 GB Speed 1067 MHz
ASRock H61M-S Motherboard (http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=H61M-S)
Inno3D NVIDIA GeForce 9400 GT
Windows 7 64 bit



Also, my computer set-up was meant to be gaming but due to budget, some parts I had were bought just for a while, so if any of yous got any advice what parts I could change, give a shout. I was thinking about selling my ram and buying 16 gb of faster speed ram.

Hello Damian,

Personally i'd go with the AMD 7950 DD

It's an brilliant card and well worth the money, only problem is it's quite big so make sure you have the space

You'l be able to pull 1920x1080 @ Ultra on BF3 at roughly 140FPS +

Also I had a look on ebay and found those which seems quite good?:

And this one: Is this one better then the AMD 7950 DD ? I know the 7950 is higher version so should be better but what brand puts it together maters as well. I had asus nvidia 7600gt before and I "upgrade" it to inno3d nvidia 9400gt which end up being much much worst then my old one.

the 7950 is just the best you can get for your money. the gtx 660 and 7870 hav a lower performance. Just get the 7950. XFX and sapphire are good.

Thanks for help. But I got another question. I found this graphics card: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-asus-radeon-hd-7950-directcu-ii-top-v2-5000mhz-gddr5-gpu-900mhz-1792-cores-dp-2x-dvi-hdmi Is that not much better ?

 

[Damian Grunwald]

Also found these two which are not much expensive:
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-xfx-radeon-hd-7950-double-d-black-ghost-hcell-5500mhz-gddr5-900mhz-1792-cores-hdmi-mini-dp
or
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/3gb-gigabyte-radeon-hd-7950-windforce-3x-5000mhz-gddr5-900mhz-1792-cores-dual-link-dvi-i-hdmi-2x-min

I'm more keen for the gigabyte one because I know gigabyte quite well. What yous think? Thanks
