hi looking to update graphics card, i currently have an ati x1950xt. looking to buy from the members market so a second hand budget of around £50-£70.

i'll only be playing first person shooters, and i've always preferred low resolutions, so i won't require a card for ultra high gfx settings and ultra high res, max will be 1366x768, as im currrently using my lcd tv. but i will still probably use lower than that. would be nice to use some aa etc but not too fussy, i am more concerned about stable fps.

last few cards have been ati but im not particularly bias'd, the 8800 range has caught my attention. i was considering to go the cheaper route and just pickup a 8800GTS 320mb, would this be fine at lower resolutions and be much of an improvement over the 1950xt? there is like the GTS 320mb, 512mb, 640mb models not sure of the advantages of each, but would it be better to go for say a 8800GT 512mb? and what about the ati alternatives what should i be looking out for?

thanks in advance
