Hey! I don't really know which card to pick from the ones in the title!

So I need a graphics card that can play LoL at atleast medium settings with good FPS. (preferrably BF3 at ultra with 60+fps) and be good for mining. I've been checking out Litecoin Hardware specs. And all these cards produce failry equal amount of khs.

Here are my options, and their price!
2x 5850CF - 121.4256 USD
5870 - 121.4256 USD
6950 - 121.4256 or 151.78200 USD (most likely 121)
7870 - Around 100 - 150 USD

Don't recommend any card than the ones listen as these are my only options.. So far!
 


Yeah. But it's not best for mining. So I'm not sure, the mining is a bit more important. And all these cards have equal khs rate. Except for single 5850. But they're gonna be mining is CF!

I guess I'll just get the card that I get cheapest. IMO it's not worth paying 50 more for 7870 compared to 6950.
 


A graphics card that can handle BF3 on atleast medium with 60+ fps can most likely handle LoL, which is the game that is most likely to be played on that computer. I'm gonna turn it into a miner/LAN computer. So when I don't have people over for a LAN I can mine with it, and vise versa!
