New GFX card required!.....?

[the_worrier]

I'm after an upgrade...

What should i get?

 

[Ben M]

what is your budget?

what do you want to use it for?

 

[the_worrier]

Games, my old son!
Budget....who knows......depends on what you get, compared to the one i've already got.

 

[Ben M]

without a budget it's impossible to say...

ati 3850
8800GT
8800GTS
8800GTX
8800ULTRA

depending on budget.

personally I wouldn't get an ultra or anything above an OCUK GTX, because new 9 series cards are due out Q1 next year

 

[the_worrier]

Suffice to say, i want to UPGRADE, but as cheaply as poss!

 

[snowdog]

8800GT seems to be the best bang for buck card atm.
The 512 mb version.

 

[the_worrier]

How much is the cheapest?

How much is the cheapest?

That could still mean anything...

OcUK sell gfx cards for £30, do you mean that cheap?

or do you mean cheap with great performance? (8800GT)

 

[the_worrier]

No, i mean upgrade from 7900GTX as cheaply as poss!

 

[gurusan]

Best at top...budget at bottom

8800GTS 512mb
8800GT 512mb
3870 512mb
3850 512mb
8800GT 256mb
3850 256mb

My preference would be 8800GT - but does depend on resolution you game at and level of a.a. etc you like

Cheapest , in stock , upgrade would seem to me to be

Have a look at Toms Hardware site to get an idea as to 'actual' upgrade

 

[psychas]

well your card is still good if you could just wait few months or just join the cycle buy 8800gts sell it when something better comes out buy the new gf card and so on

The 7900GTX is still a very good card. If you really want to change then the 8800 GT/GTS/GTX would be a great choice.

 

[Smirnoff]

I would go for the new version GTS.
