recommend me a GFX card

[rhinomonkey]

I've just upgraded my CPU from a core 2 duo to a Quad Q9650 3gig (oc to 3.6)

Currently i have a radeon ati 4870 512mb.

I think that the bottle neck is now my gfx card as i get quite poor performance in il2 cod especially at lower altitude.

Can anyone recomend me a good upgrade? I am looking to spend no more then £150.


Thanks in advance.

If you have no preference over Ati or Nvidia

At around the same price is the 560ti 2gb

A little over your budget though

You wont be disappointed with a GTX 570.

This is what I have ordered (only it is factory OC) and will arrive early next week. Can't wait to see what it offers in the form of CLoD graphics with setting on high .

Although a bit over your intended price range, at $350 Canadian it is supposed to pack some serious punch in performance for the price.

Quite right, but these are around £250 in the UK, or at least that's what I paid for an EVGA HD 'superclocked'.

To be honest, I'm not sure anything cheaper would 'float your boat', as far as Cliffs is concerned, but I'll second Alpha's recommendation. I've really gone off AMD/ATI recently.

I have a Gigabyte GTX 560 Ti OC 1024MB and it's doing fine with med/high settings. Price was about 180 EUR.
