Card Advice wanted

[AWilderbeast]

Right all im after is a decent graphics card to as close to £100 as possible, its only going to be used to play counter strike source really, and i want the best fps possible from the card. Soo has anyone got any ideas for me?

Thanks

Hmm I would go for a X1600XT or 7600GT if it was just for CSS

My X800 pro played fine at high res

ty i was thinking of the X1600XT anyone else have this card and can comment on its performance?

Not as good as the 7600GT, far as I know.

7600GT is similar to X1800GTO as far as I have seen in reviews Plus X1600 is quite a bit cheaper

I played HL2 on a X1600 mobility and it played fine at 1440x900 set high

Right, which makes it worth the ~£25 more. The X1600 is only capable of 8 pixels per clock, which hampers its performance compared to the 12 pixels per clock processing in the 7600 core.
