Video card reccomendation?

[Ste]

I have not had a good video card since my 4870 X2 died, so I will be looking to spend somewhere between the range of 160 and 190 USD.

Will want to play games like Farcry 1, farcry 2, farcry 3, mostly maxed out at 1200 X 1920, maybe crysis warhead with some tweaks and other fps sandbox games.

How does this sound?

well, its either the HD 6870 or the GTX 560 in your price range. and they trade blows, so just get which ever is cheaper?
and maybe not get a pre overclocked card and overclock it yourself?

I've got a 6870 & it plays everything on max settings, defiently would recommend

I feel sorry for you
Farcry 2 was terrible compared to the first one.

560TI should outperform the 6870 just would be around 220 dollars or so. this gen and last gen cards tend to do better in games then amd cards in most cases and amd tends to get the better benchmarks on like 3dmark n wut not.
