Best value graphics card

conor360

Hey, Im Looking to buy a new graphics card and just wondering, which one is the best bang for the buck at the minute?
Looking to play games such as BF3
Already have an i5-2500k and 8gb ram so i dont think anything will bottleneck

7850 is good, around 230euro, overclocks really well too.

Depends on your budget, but I'd also say 7850, can be overclocked to stock 7950 levels.

Thanks for the info, Although my budget is strictly around 150-200 euro

Then the 6870 is what you want.
Pixmania are selling them very cheap at the moment

Is it worth getting the sapphire over the ati one?

Fluffy88

The Sapphire's fans should be quieter and should do a better job at cooling the card too.
So if you don't like noise or are looking to overclock the card a bit then yes, it's worth going for the Sapphire.

Also your going to be hit with a €10 shipping charge on pixmania.

I picked up a Sapphire HD6870 Vapor-x for my pc great bang for buck runs anything I throw at it without a problem and runs super quiet and cool

if you look around you might even find a 6950 for 200e, which, aside from being faster than the 6870, it also Has double the RAM @ 2gb.

you cang go wrong with 6870 bud. i got it in my old pc and it is a great all around bang for your buck GPU. if you can go a bit more up, then 7850 would be your next choice.

Have you seen the supposed performance of the GTX 670? You might be able to get 2 of them for €800 and very close to GTX 680 SLI performance. Read this on OCN
