Hello, i have a bit of spare cash at the moment and have decided to upgrade my GF card, i currently have an 8800GTX and am looking for something better to replace it with, i dont want to spend a great deal more than £200 on it but would maybe stretch the budget if advised too.

Any help much appreciated o/
 
If you don't need a massive upgrade maybe for for a 260 or 4870? both great cards and can be had for half your budget.

I would say maybe upgrade a little now, save some cash and upgrade big time when the DX11 cards come out.
 
I've just upgraded from a 8800GTX to a GTX275. I think they look like good value now. I have it sitting in a box beside me now so will report later.
 
I'd be interested to hear how much of a difference you notice between the 8800GTX and a GTX275, i mostly play WoW, source and the call of dutys, the 8800GTX handles them fine although i do get some tearing in WoW and my FPS isn't great at times.
Thanks for the replies, i may well wait for the next lot of cards, though i doubt i'll be able to purchase one of them with my £200 budget :)
