    WTD: Mid-range GPU

    I'm looking for a GPU with a max budget of £100 (can push a little further if it's worth it). Not really sure what that's going to get me in the current market...maybe something in the 6950 or 6870 range....or a little lower down the pecking order, a GTX460 or GTX560, or an ATI 5870 if the price is right...nothing too power hungry though.

    Anyone got anything available, please state a price you'd want for it

    Re: WTD: Mid-range GPU

    I think that's a High-mid range you are after. There are three groups, LOW MID HIGH and each group has sub-groups of LOW MID HIGH again. So, LOW LOW end = 7100GS, HIGH LOW = HD6850
