New Card Time

[DustyMiller]

Ok then chap's and chapesses.

I currently haver an ATi 1950 XT, and feel the need for some more power.

My PC is currently an Intel E6750 @3.00Ghz, 4Gb PC6400 DDR2, with an 19" tft @1280 x 1024 on XP 32Bit.

What is the best bang for buck card, without spending silly money I can get. I feel the need to use the free shipping with the weekend special offers.

What should i get ???

i would suggest a HD4850

Gainward ATI Radeon HD 4850 512MB GDDR3
£99.99
£117.49 inc VAT

4850 would destroy just about anything at that res, if you want to spend a bit less a 9800gt should do the job, if you can spare a bt more, a 9800 gtx+ might be something to consider, but let's see what the others say

 

[MiNxYyY]

Stay Away from Nvidia cant beat the 4850 performance for the money.

4850...and I would clock that CPU some more...it's good for another 500mhz at least.

9800GTX+ - £129.24

At this price the 9800GTX+ is also worth considering, a bit faster than a 4850 I believe but they are both good a good buy tbh.

well how much is your budget?

 

[DustyMiller]

No real budget, but dont want to pay silly money when i only play at 1280 x 1024.

 

[Things change I've changed]

@ 1280 x 1024 the HD4850 is your freind, really no need to go any higher than that at that res.

 

[slimsymeat]

4850 would do the job fine & dandy.

 

[ACESHIGH]

Another vore for the 4850.

 

[sdavlaws]

HD 4850 would love gaming at that res with lots of AA! would be even better when the drivers mature
