As the title says, I need an ATI HD4870 1GB replacement for £50 max. preferably cheaper. It'll be for gaming, seeing as my 4870 can/could handle Bad Company 2 on max, Skyrim on medium-ish, TF2 on max, MW2 on high, I hope I'm correct to assume any card in the HD5000 range will be an improvement on the 4870.
I notice a lot of the HD5000 range use passive cooling or have small heatsinks and fans? Did GPU tech improve meaning less cooling required?
Also, I'm not opposed to getting a Nvidia card - I simply don't know the equivalent to the HD4870 (and slightly above)
Cheers
