Graphics card

[TheBorrebyViking]

Well, my price range went up for obvious reason. It is almost impossible to buy a decent card for that money.
So, these are the ones in close competition and of various pricing:

Radeon 6850 ~ 170€
Radeon 6870 ~ 200€
Radeon 6950 ~ 230€
GFX 560 ~ 170€
GFX 560 Ti ~ 230€

I seriously hope one of these will last me 2 or 3 years.

Wow. Is that the cheapest price you can find in Croatia? I know European prices are always a little more, but I've seen 6950s go for less. Get the 6950, it currently beats the 560Ti, specially with driver improvements. If you ever wanted to crossfire the 6950 would also be the better choice. The 560-nonTi is a waste of money in my view. Do you have an after market cooler to try to overclock with? That MoBo is just fine to OC with.

What GPU do you have now? Sell dat shit on ebay.

I will not disclose this information out of shame. Let's just say it is unsellable.

It's not the lowest price but I need to buy with my credit card since I need the cash and do not wish to spend that much in one shot.

Okay, ya, buy a 6950. I also recommend overclocking the CPU, but a 6950 is the best choice out of your options.

Just a little side note. I looked at the specs for your motherboard, you can install any new graphics board yourself easily. Just pop it into the PCI slot from whence you take out the old board.

I do my own upgrades, have since I helped a friend build a computer back in 1978.

It's always cheaper too. Also, ya his board is a nicer board. Not extreme end, but it's a very nice board.

Thanks Pip, I usually install everything by myself too.
