Looking for some advice on upgrading my graphics card, i am not a pc gamer at the moment at least, although i do a lot of video work, and also want a card that scores well in benchmarks.

I have picked 3 below, so if you can suggest the best of 3, or if you have another suggestion would be most welcome.

I am trying to stick to around £100 maybe just over. thanks

no, just sold out i guess, not sure how everywhere can be sold out, and i know this isn't a new model, they've been out for almost or more than a year now i think.

also you could try to wait a little while, like sometime in march, then you can get a 7XXX or GTX 7XX card, which should be considerably faster,
 
The 6850 will be the faster of the two.

I've also just went through an RMA with XFX and I'm really happy with how things turned out. My old 5770 was overheating and even though they found nothing wrong with it, the one they replaced it with runs a lot cooler. 10C and more lower than my old one.
 
why not the one i linked for 15 less? it's a better brand too? but you'll be happy either way with it's power
 
Only reason i went for the other brand 6850, jonny is because most places the powercolor was either out of stock or a lot higher priced.

Hopefully there shouldn`t be to much difference between the 2
 
Yeah sorry that`s what i meant the asus, my heads spinning with cards.

The asus was £130 on dabs and novatech, was out stock on overclockers, and discontinued on aria.
