Uh he said budget card. Likely a gts 450 will be decent but I would wait till all patching and optimization is finished. What is your budget for the card?

5770 is a good card though go for the Sapphire range as it has better cooling and fan..very very clockable and can handle increased volts easily..in fact it comes in the top 3 of cards available to best handle those 2 things

it is however £120ish so if your willing to put another £70 your get a card thats twice as powerful and beats the HD6950 hands down GTX 560TI twin FrozR..forget about the whole 2gig/1gig thing..its doesnt always matter..

ive recently read a magazine that benchmarked 20 GFX cards on 3 different resolutions on 3 diff games..

ARMA2
Call Of Duty
Battlefield2

GTX560Ti came in top 3 of all cards listed and had 20% increase over the 6950 and its only £190

that would be my card if i was to upgrade now

It would be around 100$ or slightly above. I'll upgrade it when I have enough money maybe 1 year later.
