Best card for the £80 range?

[Raz0r]

Need a card that would give me sufficient improvement over a 9800Pro, mainly used to play WoW etc, just had a look at this in the week only sale;

BFG 3DFuzion GeForce 7600 GS 256MB DDR2 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail

Any good?

Yup, that should do you well but i'd try and go for something a little more expensive such as the x1800xt 256mb

OT: Dude, i havent seen you post since like 2004 or something. Where have you been?

 

[Raz0r]

Been busy with life and stuff I guess matey, only just got back into the hardware market as ive been out of it for a long time

 

[Raz0r]

What about these alternatives?

HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1300 Pro ICEQ 256MB DDR2 AVIVO TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (RX130P-256ICEQ)

Sapphire X1600 Pro 256MB DDR2 AVIVO TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-117-SP)

wouldnt touch either with a barge pole, the 7600 sounds a much better choice IMO

It sure does Foehammer, it sure does.

They are PCI-e though, whereas you probably only have AGP?

Upgrading to 64bit matey

7600 is the best card in that price range if your buying new but a second hand Ati x850xt can be had for £80-90 and those cards are lot better and give excellent performance. If you can go over £100 e.g like £117-130. I'd highly recommend the X1800Gto cards
