I need a graphics card for my PC and I've seen a used 5870 on eBay starting at £60 + £8 postage and packaging. The seller wants £115 for it if I buy it now. Is a 5870 worth £115 these days? What is the maximum I should pay? Thanks.
 
I'll see if I can get the 5870 for £60. I've decided I'm not spending more than £80 on the 5870. If the 5870 goes for more than £80 then I will just keep saving and get something like a 6950 or 560 Ti. Sound all right?

£83 for the 6850 does look good though...

yeah, special might end today though, says this week only. And if you meant a new 6950, the cheapest on that wight was like 160 and for 10 more they have the 7850 which is a bit better

good, their about the same performance, really the 5870 seems slightly faster most of the time, but the 6870 does better at tesselation in benches and will serve you well. I tried one and it maxed almost everything at 1440x900 so should do well at 1080, only thing it had a problem with really was crysis and taking AA off fixed that
