Any good?

So I'm looking at some GTX 570s, when I came across this.

It has it has 2.5gb of VRAM compared to the other

Would it be worth the extra 30 quid, or is VRAM really an issue when I'll be playing at 1920 x 1080 resolution.

Any other suggestions welcome.

The 7850 is probably better overclocked.

The 7870 is definitely better.

1GB of VRAM is fine for 95% of current games at 1080p, I think only BF3 uses about 1.5GB at ultra. Newer games will probably start using more and more as its available though.

And yes, the 7870 is a better buy especially when overclocked.

Much better that it's worth the extra tenner?

300 is stretching my budget, I was looking at cards in the 250 range.

Skylinehead

Yes. There are cheaper ones, such as this Sapphire.

Any recommendation on a good card in that range?

if 300 is stretching the budget then a 7850 would fit in good at only 226. will play all games fine and overclocks like a champ.

That's a nice one, cheers for that man.
