    What to change 6950 for?

    Looking for some help here, recently upgraded my rig to 4670k and still stuck with my unlocked 6950 2GB.
    What are my options here if I want to spend upto £250. I mostly play BF3 and will jump into BF4 once it comes out.

    Any help appreciated!

    Can you wait for BF4? If so, look to see if there will be an AMD release at around the same time, and if not, there will probably be a bundle that gives you BF4 for free with the card, allowing you a bit more budget.

    Does your card not perform how you'd like?

    I'd personally wait if possible until it can't play the games you want, then you can spend money on a new one, no point upgrading before you need to.

    didn't think about that to be honest (bundles that is), what would be the best option at the moment? I was thinking about GTX 680, is it far superior to GTX 670?

    If we're talking 60fps @1080p then no, it's not enough
