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.

Three of us "Pigs" are using factory OC'd 570s. It's a great card.

GTX560ti 2Gb (notice the "ti")
GTX570 2,5Gb These are the two NVIDIA cards to have for the time being (sorry, I am not an ATI guy so not experience there). Do not go for less than 2Gb VRAM. The game plays nicely with these cards after the latest patch. Probably the GTX560ti 2Gb is the one that fits the budget. ~S~ |

2GB memory is useless on a GTX 560. Put that extra money into a better card or a couple bottles of rum.

Silky smooth with a 1.5 gb GTX 580 here, but it may be outside your budget range.

I personally have a GTX 460 which will play the game around 25-35 FPS (I don't know the exact but that's my estimation) on all Medium Settings, a couple on High, and nothing turned off. It only lags if there is a big fireball nearby or the wind dust effect behind you as well as the crashes in water from External view. It runs much smoother at something lower than my native resolution: 1920 by 1200. Hope this helps and sorry for the wall of text.

Get either a Nvidia 560ti or a Ati 6950 . Both are about the same speed wise , COD doesnt use either to their full potential do go with whatever's the best price for you.

The 560it seems to be improved by a new version: http://vr-zone.com/articles/nvidia-p...-ti/13805.html

Toms Hardware (referenced earlier) is a good site. Here's the October GPU hierarchy listing
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...ce,3042-7.html I'm running the EVGA GTX570 suprclocked with 1.28Gb memory (nearly a year old now). It runs well at High settings, 40-60fps (I turn Grass off) but the more memory you can afford on the GPU the better. I was looking at the new 6xxx ATI series back then but I went in favour of Nvidia as I've been with them for some years and never a problem. I believe there are some issues with the ATIs (SLi??) but others can tell you what or you can search the forums.
