Best £150 Card...?

[asm_int_3]

As per the title, I'm really out of touch on things like this. Generally I play RTS type games (C&C3 at the mo) with the occasional first person shooter (Far Cry etc).

Will have a new rig next week: 2.4 Core Duo, 2 Gig ram, 20" wide screen monitor.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers folks. I take it that will handle most games pretty well will it? All the reviews seem positive.

Nothing can touch it for the money, at least not until the 14th (maybe)

You won't be disappointed.

yeh save a bit more and go for a 8800gts youre not too far off anyway only need like £30 or so more..

 

[asm_int_3]

Problem is it's quite easy to keep adding "another £30"! Next minute I'm getting divorced because I've spent £400

 

[Egosh]

well you just have to know your limits in this case you'll using the 8800 for a lot longer than the 1950 since it'll be a while before you'll need to upgrade the 8800 so its easy to justify the £30 extra..instead of upgrading in two years time you can upgrade in 3 years time if you get the 8800

If £150 is your absolute limit then you can't go too wrong with any of these:

And for £94 INC VAT, then this is probably worth looking at:

Those will be more than fine if you're happy to sacrafice some of the highest graphics settings.

If you want to play on high settings and want to do so on games that are going to be release in the next few months then the 880GTS that people have already linked, is definately worth stretching to £180 if you can.

But at £94, that x1950 is a very good buy and will more than handle most things you'll throw at it if you aren't playing with full AA and AF.
