Depends what you think is best? Do you need it to run cool? Does it need to be quite?
Personally, for £100 i would get a GTS 250 Dark Knight, they have a great heatsink/fan on that, and you get great performance.
If you are not bothered by high temps or loud fans get a 4870.
see sticky, http://forums.hexus.net/graphics-car...-x-thread.html
gts250 or 4850 with good cooler (eg sapphire VaporX) or 4870 with stock cooler

4870 is your best choice.

TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.
I know someone selling one....hold up... I'll get him in here..
it's a 4870 still boxed

Gainward GTX 260 216 GC from Scan for £109 free delivery.
40% gain for 10% cost increase over GTS 250
edit: Compared to the 4870 it's quieter, less power hungry, faster and has better drivers.
Also, almost all GTX 260s come with Batman: Arkham Asylum which is effing brilliant.
Yea I think I might be better off waiting till next week and see if any of the prices go down a bit.
The HD4870 512mb is around £90 delivered from Ebuyer:

I have bought Dabs' reconditioned cards before:

HD 4830 for £44 ! - scroll to the bottom of the page for correct price.
You can still return it under the distance selling act.
I recommend testing it heavily once it arrives and if it is no good return it within 7 days.
.
THe 4830 is now way near the best card I can get for £100
4870
