[d1abl0]

Hi im building a budget computer and have search around for a GPU that is no more than £160.

if you wouldnt mind answering a few questions to help me

1) What is the best graphics card for no more than £160

2) ive found the GTX 260 Black Edition 896MB and was wondering if anyone knew if this was a good Graphics card for the money as i am looking to play games such as crysis and cod

3) also is this graphics card good for overclocking

hey man, i'm from the U.S so i can't lecture u about prices, but i have the xfx gtx 260 black edition and i can tell u that this card is amazing!

i play on full HD 1920x1080. i can play every single game out there on MAX settings, besides crysis of course, but that includes AA and AF.

on crysis i can put Very High settings but no filters, and i didn't try AA on Demigod, but that game has so many characters on screen i think my computer would cummit suicide if i put AA in that game.

but i can tell you for sure that it is one hell of a card. plus, it might have taken xfx 3 months, but i got this cool Black credit card like card that just says "Black Edition Member" which i find very cool, and the best god damn Emblem to put on your computer, believe me, it's wat sweeter then the intel or asus ones

yeah mate I got the card, it is the ****. Honestly, I fired up F.E.A.R. 2 max settings and expected it to die on me but no....ran smoothly.

I've shown this card to many of my friends reccomending it to them.

Indeed, you can't go wrong with a GTX 260 216 core for £160 and under. Great value
