Advice on new graphics card

Sav, the sad part is you get what you pay for...
So with that said I'd be a bit more patient & save up the money for a better graphics card or you are going to end up with the same results...a card you're not happy with.

I'm not happy with my current card but I'm not going to settle for anything less than the performance of a Nvidia EVGA-GTX275! (Or GTX285)
Yea, it's out of my price range right now & it's the reason I'm waiting & saving until it is in my price range.
If you are wondering why the choice of Nvidia it's because I favor them over ATI. It's a "personal" choice of mine & not a recommendation...

Go in between the 5870 and 5770 - the 5850.
Definitely better than the 275 and in most cases the 285 as well. Go for the cheapest you can find (That will be around £30 - £40 above your budget though ); later you can save up for another one and crossfire the two

I think that cross fireing 2 ok cards isnt as effective as having one good card. Stick with Nvidia The way its meant to be played (or something)! And gtx295 is awesome.

His budget is £200 right now, but when he saves up again he can get a nice crossfire config.

Sure, but i'd still rather have one Radeon 5970 than 2 4870's since its just better.

if its one of those two cards and you want to play dx11 games the 5770, you can add a second down the road
