    Graphics card advice

    Im looking for some HELP! As my graphics card has packed in, i did have a KFA2 550 ti 2GB, and now I have none and as I run my board has the z68 chip set, I cant use the integrated.

    So I am looking for a graphics card that will run wow on medium graphics and not lag in raids, and I need next day Del.

    I live in the uk please so can anyone point me in the right direction.

    I had this for about a year... played games with no issues! usually on high/ultra. Great card, for a great price. I couldn't recommend it anymore highly.

    EDIT: or try the 6850 for a slight drop in performance... http://www.ebuyer.com/391772-xfx-hd-...e-hd-685x-zcfc

    Still better than the 550 TI though.

    EDIT 2: It's a shame, since my mate is actually selling his Asus 6850 he bought about 4 months ago, for round £60-70. But I ain't gonna see him until Monday.

    Well, if you don't mind waiting until Tuesday, I am sure he will set up an ebay auction or something. I'll message him and get him to read this.

    Bumping this, as although Jalfrazi was very helpful, it didn't work out, anyone else able to offer any advice.

    First of, with the z68 you can run on the integrated graphics. You cant with the p67.

    Second, without a budget i cant give a good enough advice. But a 7850 will suffice.
