Does anyone know of a decent upgrade from a HD7950 3GB? around the £200-£250 mark.  Or would it even be worth it at this stage?

 

Any help would be appreciated. Cheers.

I think there are some 1060s and rx 580's going for sale, but act quick, because stock is depleting. a GTX 1060 6gb would be my recommendation:

1 left in stock lol

 

update: the amp version is pretty much the same price and it's better and it's in stock

I'd get that instead
