Just two questions,

1. What do you intend to be doing (Gaming, Video Editing, etc)
2. Whats your price range?

I hate converting.. lets see £100 - £150 = $146.65 - $219.97

Not a bad price range.. wish I had that money.

Oh err right anyways how about this?

I couldn't really tell you without trying the one you have now, and that one on Newegg.

I can say that you will get a bit more performance out of that one on newegg though. :) Unless theres something else on your computer thats bottlenecking your performance.

You cant go wrong with Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card [21163-00-20R] Graphics and Video ATI HD 5700 Series

It is DX11 also and OCUK are great vendors

Have nVidia not released DX11 cards yet? I thought they did already but didn't see any on newegg so that makes me believe they haven't.

I'm an ATI/AMD person myself. :)
