    I presume you're looking second hand so it'll depend on the price. The 7850 is slightly faster, but the 260X gets Adaptive Sync support which makes a much bigger difference if you've got a compatible monitor.

    At that res. a GTX 950 should be just fine.

    Budget?

    You can get an R9 380 for £120 http://www.novatech.co.uk/products/c...2gbd5-dhe.html

    That should do better than a pair of 260X cards in crossfire.

    In my opinion Nvidia GTX cards are still better than AMD cards, but AMD made a huge step forward.
