Hi,
I am looking at updating my graphics card, I bought a 8800GT about a year and a half ago and has done well but think it is time to upgrade.
I am working with a budget of about 200quid. I am looking at the Nvidia 275 or ATI 4870. Seems to be a bit of a price dfference for similar performance, leaning towards the ATI on price but never had a problem with nvidia in the past. Or anoter alternative?
Cheers
p.s.
On a side note, my pc specs are below, the memory is now upped to 6GB otherwise the specs are correct. If you can see a better way to spend the 200quid on upgrading let me know.
