    Hi

    I'm looking to upgrade my current graphics card. I tried running Max Payne 3 on it and well it works, but really really badly. I'm looking to get a new one that will run this and COD BO2 well.

    This is what I have already

    Sapphire Radeon HD 5770 1GB
    and
    Intel Core i5-2400 Box, LGA1155
    ASRock H61M-HVS (B3), Sockel 1155, mATX
    8GB-Kit G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9
    Crucial M4 128GB SSD 6,4cm (2,5")
    AXP 630W Power Supply
    Gigabite Triton 180 Case

    My budget is €200 max, preferable less. Any suggestions please?

    HD7850, or if you can stretch it get a HD7870.

    Thanks for that Eboggles. Is the power supply I have sufficient for those cards? I havent changed that since I bought the original rig about 5 years ago.

    The system should only pull 300 watts from the wall, so if the PSU is of good quality you should be fine.

    Cheapest 7870 on Dabs is €245 delivered, from Amazon is €200, and I can't check HWVS as they're down again.
