Mid Range Graphics Card

[Rixxe]

Hi All,

Looking for a Mid to High range graphics card, something around £200 - £250 (Ill let you do the conversion if your $)
Currently have a shocking Nvidia GTS 250, was looking at another Nvidia card (but not limited to) GTX 570. There is no rush with getting this card either, so if something is coming out in the near future (Soon™) then i could wait for it.

Any opinions or recommendations are useful.

Spec:
i5 2400 3.4GHz
4GB 1333 DDR3 Corsair
750w Power Supply

Cheers

It depends on what your looking to play on your system, the GTX560ti is a decent card (runs BF3 on ultra at 1920X1080). Also there's the GTX560ti 448 core which is cheaper than the GTX570 with basicly the same performance

I got 3 suggestions, just depends if you want Nvidia or AMD card and the 448 core which is close to GTX570 performance but also cost a little bit extra.

That said, if you can few a few months +- it might be worth seeing what Nvidia decides to release.

Thanks for the reply, well currently BF3 and soon GW2. Do a fair amount of programming as well, so something that can handle graphics design without slacking. (However thats probably more the system than anything).

I also run duel monitors, so i guess those cards both have 2 ports? (Or do all cards have multiple ports these days?)


Wow, thanks for the suggestions Notarget.
