Well i was about to purchase the point of view 6800 GS (AGP) for my system, but it had been removed from the 1 week only just before I tried so I replaced it with this:
BFG GeForce 6800 GS OC 256MB - All for £129.19 inc vat (was £170)
My system is a 754 with and AMD 64 3200 running at 2200mhz stock + 1GB PC3200 and 160 GB SATA HD. I couldn't afford to buy a completely new system as I had just got a new laptop. I was hoping to stretch to a 7800 GS but have decided to get a wireless network instead + I figure it may be a bit CPU limited.
The question is, as the card won't be here till monday, is what can i expect to get from my system and had anyone got a similar set up? I am hoping it will be a good card. The GC I am replacing is a FX5900. As I only run a 15" monitor, I figured the 6800 would suffice.
Appart from the laptop this is the first upgrade I have done for 18 months. Having the xb360 made me realise I needed to breathe a bit more life into my games.
