new card - budget £200

[RobRoy]

Hi.

I have a budget of around £200 to get a new graphics card. Which one will give me the biggest bang for my cash?

Any help is appreciated

Cheers

I would say the 5850 if you can and don't want cuda etc if not then the Nvidia GTX460 and wait for the MSI one

I think he meant the MSI GTX 460 1GB, and I haven't seen Asus 1GB version yet. GTX460 1GB not only has more RAM than the GTX 460 768MB, but it is 8 more ROPs as well. The MSI card has voltage tweak as well.
Personally would got for a Gigabyte GTX460 1GB which has a beefy cooler.

Asus 5850 voltage tweak will give you the best performance for £200 by a long way.

I still haven't been able to find a Asus 5850 for £200 on google shopping except for the few dodgy shops that nobody knows if they are legit or reliable...

They can be had from a few places mate.

Errm If you had a look a *little closer* ^^^ - a bit, you will find them.

5850 I'd say.

The only other choice really is saving up until the refresh, but that's obviously not going to be next week, so if you want to buy now, then I'd go with the aforementioned.
