Cant decide!

[Jasard]

Hey, I'm trying to decide which graphics card to get - I've seen mixed opinions across the web so I thought I'd ask here.

Building a new system with a 1 grand budget, trying to decide what graphics to go for... I'll be doing plenty of gaming, 3D animation, video editing etc.

I'm not entirely sure how much I will have on the graphics alone yet so I thought it might be a good idea to see which order you would put the following in:

(don't want an ATI card)

(best at 1)

- 8800 GT
- 8800 GTS
- 8800 GTX
- 9800 GT
- 2x 8800 GT
- 2x 9800 GT

It'd be a huge help, thanks in advanced!

Ooo the BFG 8800 GTS are on special offer this week, 20 quid off. Nice

1280x720 at the moment but I would quite like it to be a bit higher (my desktop is at 1440x900).

At the moment I'm mainly playing Call of Duty 4, bit of Unreal 3. Wouldnt mind trying some of the next gen MMOs when they come out. Oh and all the Valve games but they arnt too system straining.

(would be nice to play crysis )

Sounds like a good tip, would you say the BFG 8800 GTS 512mb OC card is a good one to go for?

Excellent, sounds like I'll go for a single GTS, especially as they are on offer. Thanks for all the help!
