Hi guys. what current range of gfx cards replace the above. nvidia or amd doesn't matter.

thanks
 
Budget? Or do you just want to maintain the FPS you are currently getting?
 
Well a HD6870 is within 10% of a GTX295 so it'll prob give an increase in fps vs a GTX280. Goes for around R2k. GTX560 is more or less the same price/performance if you wanting somethnig from the green camp.
 
5850 and 6870 seem around the same price. is the higher number better?
 
Don't replace yet. GTX280 is still very good. Wait for the next releases. What is your specs of the rest of your pc. I'm running a GTX280 and can play Black ops at 125FPS on 4x AA, and everything else on full excepts for shadows. I was also thinking of upgrading my GTX280 but the Gain in fps is not enough to satisfy the need for upgrading.
 
GTX280 doesn't have DX11 for Dirt3 or Battlefield 3. I say 6950.

I am not sure that blowing 2-3k for a new gpu just for dx 11 would be a smart idea. Wait for another 6 months or so and then see what is out.

I know quite a few people that will be upgrading just for BF3. Have you seen the videos?
 
battlefield 3 looks good in videos but in the end it will fail like most games do these days. Check cryisis 2 looked cool but when it came out it failed. R300 down the drain
