seconded if you can't stretch an extra £8 for a brand new one.

Sure it's a few £ more expensive than the 8600GT.....

But it is 3 x faster !!!

Just buy it....

If you really can't stretch than far .....

This is a great card for £65. It is almost as fast as an 8800GT. Even this will play all current games and save you some money. 1280x1024 is easy for all of the cards suggested in this and the above posts.

Amazing what you can get for little money these days!

 

[EdGey]

so is the 3870 XT a better card than the 9600GT?

thanks for replies, very helpfull.

this link shows the NV9600gt vs ATI3870 hopefully it will help you decide, bear in mind its an old article and things may have changed with the newer drivers on boths sides of the fence.

Get an 8800GT, it costs a little more but is considerably better.

thanks peeps

The Gainward ATI Radeon HD 3870 XT 512MB cards are great cards, priced very well!

Keep an eye on the b grade section. Earlier this week they had 9600GT cards for £40 - a bargain

I can tell you that even on a board limited to 2.67Ghz on my C2D, and the PCI-E 1 slot being limited to only 4x, my 3870 runs GRID flawlessly with full gfx options turned on at 1280*1024, COD4 runs fantastically and every game I have runs great, with the exception of Crysis, which i have to compromise on if I want good frame rate (I still play on high and it is very playable btw, just could be a little faster at times).
