New Graphics Card Upgrade Help

[weetam]

Hi guys, I'm currently running an AMD 5770, and it's time for an upgrade.

I've narrowed it down between 2 cards, the 7870, and the 7950. Is the 7950 woth the extra £50 that it will set me back?

I'll be gaming on a 24" monitor at 1080p, and I'm looking for around a 60fps average on "ultra" settings if possible. Overclocking is also a factor that I'll be considering as well.

Most of the cards I'm considering can be seen here for anyone that's interested with a budget up to around ~£250.

Any help appreciated guys,
Thanks

I got my 7870 hawk from aria for 215 if you want to save some cash. its great for overclocking from what i've heard/ tried so far. For a single screen a 7870 is enough, depending on what games your looking for 60 fps on ultra with. i get 70+ on bf3 @ 1080p ultra settings and fxaa on high, could probably be more if i overclocked more.

You can't really go wrong with either of them.

if you can afford it get the club3d 7950 royal king... tom has just revied it and it seems pretty good
