Bought and paid for! Seem's a solid card indeed so snapped it up...thank's for the advice lads, i feel it will serve my needs nicely btw what's the deal with 1gb card's now? See so many around and can't help think 1gb is a little less important than 512 and a better gpu?

At the res you are planning to play at. then 512mb should be fine, as long as you tone down the AA slightly.

For £50 its a good deal, performance wise its exactly the same as the 4850 but runs slightly cooler and consumes less power

Ideal! I love Ati hardware + lower power consumption is always nice tbh i haven't ever really used AA religiously...used to turn it on but if i had it off it didn't bother me too much

I'd get something like a 4670 if possible for your price range.

Please do read the whole thread before posting, the OP has already bought a 4770 for £50. Welcome to Hexus though!

I realise the OP has already made his decision, but for future reference, always useful for this sort of question is:

it's the Toms Hardware 'best graphics cards for the money' article which they do regularly each month at the moment.

Although this is good for a rough guide, sometimes the prices we pay here and over in the usa can be very different so therefore it can be hard to say which is the 'best graphics cards for the money' especially when using prices from the usa

in answer to initial question 4850.... 4870 if you can grab one secondhand

That'd be useful if the OP hadn't got a 4770 some weeks ago...

do read threads before posting, we tend to be very sarcastic at you if you don't...
