Upgrade

[Sargass]

So im planning to buy a new gfx card sooooon (like tomrrow or the day after)...

Budget -200€

Must run COD4 maxed, MW3 and Skyrim without fail...at least in medium and further games at least in medium too
Must fit in my case: Asus Vento A8
Motherboard is Asus P5SD2-VM, Intel core2 Duo E8500 3.16Ghz
Power supply 600W Ms tech

Tought about this one ASUS GTX560 Direct CU II OC ,1GB GDDR5 pcie? would it fit?

I have a GTX 550 Ti OC and it plays BF3 on all high settings DX11 @ 1680x1050 so I am sure a 560 Ti could handle those quite well.

The card is about 23 cm long so you will need about 25-28 cm to fit it properly.

Finally took a ATI HD 6850 1GB DDR5 ^^

Yeah Sargass I got a 6870 in my desktop and it does very well with Cod4, so I bet your new one will kick ass

Skyrim in high details for now

Cod4 would be the easiest game to run so id use the most demanding games as a standard. What res do you game in?

I have a 6950 and so far its been great. Mine is the Sapphire 2gb version however. I don't know how the prices are where you live but this card is about 30$ under budget and looks to have great cooling. I can run Mw3 maxed np. Havent played Skryim , but i can run Crysis maxed @ 1920x1080 with 8xAA without any problems. Card never breaks 55c on 30% fan speed. Although the one i liked to is a different brand with different cooling.
