    Re: Hey guys, need some help

    It really depends on your budget. The 6850 is an entry level to mid level graphics card, its still really good if all you can afford is a 6850.

    Re: Hey guys, need some help

    Smartie11 - you could go for the 6870, it's about £125 in Dabs. If you want ultimate performance, you could find yourself a 6870X2 card, although I think they are £200+. I think the 6850 is about 80-90% of a 6870, and the 6870 is supposedly 90% of the 6950 (1Gb)!! If you want a crossfire, 6870's are great as well, as their scaling is unbelievably high (as high as 99% in some games according to tom's hardware benches)
