[lesz42]

right, my system is

Q9550 ( normal clock)
4 gig ram
F1 750 gig hdd

8800GT 512 meg card

right, i have windows 7, and apart from email and what not, i play CSS and TF2

if i were going to upgrade the graphics card, what would be a nice, decent, cheap upgrade from a 8800GT?

ATI or N, but rather have N

What sort of budget have you got?

 

[lesz42]

no more then 150 max? less if poss?

 

[geoirv23]

The ne 680 or the 460 are the obvious choices.

 

[setter]

As above, for that sort of money.

 

[Stanners]

Give the 6850 a whirl

Just looked at the 6850 benchmarks
6850 for sure!

For the sort of games you play the 8800GT is more then enough. I would only replace it if it broke.

8800GT will be fine for CS:S and TF2. They're relatively old games running on what is a comparatively old engine. IMO if you really won't play anything else then stick with what you've got, it'll be fine. Save that £150 up and add to it for a completely new rig next year sometime though?
