Looking to buy something to replace my current outdated and under powered 5670. Can be either ATI or Nvidia like a 6870 or 560ti, something will at least 1GB ram. Let me know what you have and the price your looking to get. I am located in western Canada, and I would prefer to buy in country to save on shipping.

EDIT: Found 2 6950's Smiley

i've got an 8800gtx?  is that better than a 5670?  it should be 1 tier higher, but http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/video_lookup.php?gpu=GeForce+8800+GTX  says it's slower

http://www.hwcompare.com/164/geforce-8800-gtx-vs-radeon-hd-5670/

that says otherwise

plus I paid $700 for it, like 6 years ago

(personally, i'd say to grab a cheap 5870 off the forum here)

5870 IS faster than a 6870. Personally seen it side by side benched to a 7850 and be 1-5 fps short of the 7850 when at a 50mhz oc(tiny). If youd ask me i would take a 120$ 5870 over a 240$ 7850.

well, since you apparently already know what you want, why dont you just state it?  5670 is a crap card.  5870 is better than a 6870, it just takes more power.

I have stated that I want something along the lines of a 6870 or 560ti. I know the 5670 is a crap card hence why I'm looking to upgrade....

If you could find a 5870 2gb... that would be my suggestion as well...

I would not recommend anything less than 2gb vram. With modern games you will see a big improvement, especially if you are gaming at 1080p.

Ebay is allways nice for used cards as you have a 30 day warranty on something used (i.e. ebay allways sides with buyers and makes sellers take anything back within 30 days).

Good luck,

the 5870 is better than the 6870 though, unless you're especially concerned about the 5870s inefficient energy usage  (or maybe about it getting too hot wherever your computer is)

I realize it is better, but usually I see more 6870s being sold on here than 5870s, I will consider a 5870 if someone puts one up.
