Pidesco Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 For that budget, you could get a 8800GT. However, if I were you I'd save a few quid and buy a 9600GT. What, pray tell, is your system?

taks Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 i'm pretty happy with my 8800 GTS with 320 MB of mammaries and OC'd by the manufacturer. can't recall if it is an eVGA or some other, however. i don't play games like crysis or anything so i don't ever experience frame issues with this. taks comrade taks... just because.

Moatilliatta Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 I have had quite good experiences with the 8800 GTS 640MB so I don't think there would be major disappointments with that. By now I would porbably buy a GT though. I'm pretty sure I would end up buying the 8800GT in Pidesco's example unless I would be able to use the money that was saved for something of actual value.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Don't you have a 7900 at the moment? I would try to make due with what you have and save up for a 9XXX card. "Geez.

Walsingham Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 My old 7900GTX explodiert! I'm currently using a drawing of a graphics card done on the back of a breakfast cereal packet. So should I just stump up for a 9600GT? "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Bokishi Posted April 25, 2008 Share Posted April 25, 2008 9600 is a great value Current 3DMark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walsingham Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 9600 is a great value Very well. I accede to your power-crazed demands. BTW since I'm saving some money on the GPU I think I should get some more RAM "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Walsingham Posted April 25, 2008 Author Share Posted April 25, 2008 Right, I ordered the 9600GT you suggested, and upgraded to 2gb of RAM. I also bouyght myself a new mouse. Now all I have to do is find time to enjoy all this new kit next week. "It wasn't lies. It was just... bull****"." -Elwood Blues tarna's dead; processing... complete. Disappointed by Universe.

Walsingham Posted April 30, 2008 Author Share Posted April 30, 2008 The bits have arrived. Any final advice? Otherwise I'm going to open this sucker up and hammer in the parts with a flyswat.
