6850/550ti

5850/gtx 460/gtx 470

Any opinions guys?

Also, I have ordered the collectors edition, do i need to wait for it to arrive, or can i/will i get a code to enter into steam for download before recieving?

why don't you buy a 6950 with 2GB ?

That card won`t do well with anything else than a fast i5/i7.

I have a 6870, as much as i know, is pretty much the same as the 6850. In my experience its a good card and moves the COD in a very decent frame rate with medium/high config...

As they say, i dont think that buying anything better is worth unless you got a nice CPU (i5 2500k or more), otherwise you would have a very unbalanced PC. I´m not good with computers but as far as i know you should always get Medium end Cpu/Medium end Gpu, High end Cpu/High end Gpu, etc.

Well, I went with the 6850 from my local shop just for the warranty really. Didnt fancy a used card, as ive been using used for years. It's nice having something new

Got the Asus OC version. Should do well.

Now just waiting for the game to arrive...ugh

Thanks for all the advice though guys. I got a good deal on the 6850 so if it doesn't do as I want in medium resolutions then i'll sell it on and save for something with more DDR onboard.

Hopefully the performance patch will arrive before your game arrives. The patch should help people with average system play the sim with decent frame rates when selecting the appropriate graphics options. The only problem with this scenario is more people will be able play and see all the work thats still required to make the sim playable offline. I'm sure the developer is well aware of that fact and will make every effort to release an AI, COMMANDS, FM patch as quickly as possible.
