Graphics card upgrade

[Arjun806]

Current system specs:

AMD Athlon 3700+ @ 2.2ghz
256mb 7900gt
2Gb Ram

Basically I should be upgrading soonish, but I can't afford to get it all in one go. However, recently my GPU has been artifacting like mad and I can't play properly.

I was thinking of getting this. I don't want to spend more than £100 on a graphics card so would this be the best for the money? Or could I get something better on the ATI side?

Thanks for answering

4850 is the best budget gaming card at the moment. but it is £20ish over.

Don't pay that much for an 8800GT.

£93? No, thats too close to the Radeon HD4850 which is a clearly superior card.

Why would you pay that for a 9800GT?

dont spend more than £70 on an 8800GT

if you are spending £100 4850 is the only card you should be looking at - have a gander at the link in my sig - it gives a nice overview of warranties and other info you may find useful when making your decision
