Are you able to stretch to $250? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202024 - Excellent card for the price

If not, a 7850 would be fine for medium-high as well.

You could probably pick up a nice AMD 7870 for around that price!

(depends where in the world you are)

I'd probably go with a 7870. Just a bit over 200 and a pretty decent card. Plus neversettle bundle is great haha.

Radeon 7870 or a 660 ti.

G'day mate, you can get a 7870 XT which is basically a cut down version of 7950 for only $229 at PCCaseGear. The shipping to Tasmania should be reasonable.

Thanks for the reply people , really appreciate it

one more thing i want to ask . Is there a huge performance diffrence between 7870 and Gtx 660 ( almost same price ) ? why everyone would go for the 7870 ?

At the present moment, AMD drivers are simply better = Better performance on the 7870.

Furthermore, you get the "Never Settle" bundle with AMD cards, a purchase of the 7870 now will net you Far Cry 3 iirc

oh my god it looks so naked without a graphics card lol but as the others have said I recommend a 7870. Great card for 1080p gaming at good price. Plus it can overclock really well!

I would urge you to spend just a tiny bit more to get a 7870 Tahiti LE, it's a truly great graphics card, performing just as well as the 660 Ti at stock settings or slightly better & can be overclocked to outperform 670s.
Can you order from Amazon.com or Newegg.com ?
