    For GPU acceleration supported by Adobe it might be worth double checking compatiblity. Quick search found the following

    You basically need openGL drivers, which most cards have.

    Could you sell the 285 first and add the money into the kitty and then you would be able to afford a 560Ti or even a 6950 1gb or second hand 6950 2g if your lucky.

    Otherwise the 6870 out of your choises would be my recommendation.

    If you are into photoshop + quiet a few games that need gpu power, id recommend 560/570, 6950/6970, will last you a while, where if you get somtn cheap, it wont, and it wont even run some games you mentioned
