I'm in need of a new graphics card, since i haven't upgraded my computer once in the 4 years that i have had it, and i can no longer play new games on high settings as i once could. I'm neither a total noob when it comes to computer tech but im far from a expert which is why im looking for help on these forums 
Since my computer is being repaired atm, and i wont have it back until monday i can't tell you my specs yet, but currently looking at two graphics cards which seem affordable and pretty good.

They are in the same price range but i can't really figure out which one dominates the other. If there are any other graphics cards out there that are better and cost around 100 pounds/euros in europe, please link to the site
