Graphics Card Advice/Help?

[Mista.Gee]

Hey Chaps.

Looking to spend £110 inc VAT and P&P on a new Graphics Card, alittle stuck on what to get, so any recommendations on what to get for this price range.

Cheers.

Stretch a bit and get this 3850 512mb (if PCI-E) http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-085-OK&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=416 best card in your price range.

Hey LoadsaMoney,

Will my Corsair HX520W power that card if so considering it as a purchase.

Who manufactures the card?

 

[LoadsaMoney]

Im not sure what make the OcUK 3850's are, but your power supply will handle it no problems as they don't need much power, the Corsair will power every card going.

Thats' good to know.

How does the card perform in games just noticed the 256mb version as well, looking to play World in Conflict, Gears of War, Halo 2, ProStreet, Juiced 2, Shadowrun and that's about it not bothered about Crysis.

 

[LoadsaMoney]

It performs well, but you don't want 256mb, 512mb minimum these days id say, the days of a 256mb card are gone now, as games are needing more and more vram for bigger textures, AA/AF etc...

Okie dokie seems that's the one to get, any others I should look out for around the price i've mentioned?
