If you flog the bundled games it will be under £125.
Also I believe you can get free shipping via Quidco.
Here we are

To be honest, they're not even in the same league as the 7850 already suggested.Quote:

Find some way to afford the extra £6 and buy the 7850 :DQuote:

Bare in mind that if you search for bargins you can often get your GPU for a fair bit less than the listed price on these review-type websites.
Yeah that offer expires in like 2 daysQuote:

i think you would be better off saving your cash save up abit more then go for a 7870 or 670GTX thats what i would do ......
Actually thats what i am going too do wait until the price comes down on the 7870 then sell my HD6850 and play BF3 like there is no tommorrow lol
anyway good luck in your hunt hope all we have stated helps you in anyway possible :)

Radeon 6870 is your best bet
A 6870 is worse in every way than a 7850 1gb and doesn't even compete on value once you take the free games bundle into account.Quote:

In most games you won't notice a blind bit of difference, stick to 1080p and you should be fine.

Chances are if you are running out of memory then the 7850 is also running out of shader resources at the same time.
I really don't see the 7870 dropping to £150 any time soon, they have just had two rounds of price cuts in short order, a third round would be an act of desperation and wouldn't bring prices down to that level anyway.
£125 is the max budget incase you haven't seen ;)Quote:

Talking of value you can pick up a used 6870 for around £80, which is nearly half the price of a 7850 so it's clear which one is the winner for best "value" here
Well in that case there's a 7850 on ebay for £92, but you can pick one up for ~£125 using the normal channels.
Yeah if the 7850 can be had for £125 then that would make it the best buy in the price range, without a question :p
