Hi all,

I'm looking for a bit of help, I'm building my first gaming PC rig.

I got all my other bits and bobs for it but im still a tad unsure on graphics cards. I want to get a nVidia card so obviously it works with the mobo I've bought.

I'm currently looking at possibly getting an:

nVidia GeForce 9800GTX 512MB PCI-E 2.0

However im just wondering if there is any difference between the 8800GTX or even the 9600 Series.

Just wondering if you can point me in the right direction. I dont want to splash too much out ~£150 is about my limit. Might be willing to pay out a bit more if it will be worth it.

I'm also considering for SLI in the future, so would getting an 8800 be an issue as they are not being made anymore :confused:

Thanks :D
 
Thanks for the info.

I take it the 9600's are not as good as either the 9800 or 8800 then ?

It's just as saying before i would like the idea of maybe getting another card in the near future to SLI.

I'm just a tad worried that if i go with the 8800 i might struggle to get a matching card.

Cheers
 
hehe ok cheers for the info.

I think I'l try get my grubby mitts on a 8800GTX.

Any suggestions on best place to acquire one ? does OCUK still got some in stock or will i have to resort to flea bay...
 
ne ne new cards ?

Soz bit of a noob here ;) I've heard something about new cards in july ?!?

Think they will be a lot better than the 8800GTX ?
Cost is a factor tho will think when they are released it will cost an arm and a leg
 
Cheers for all the replys and info.

I've have noticed that the difference between the 8800 GT and GTX is quite a jump so is it really worth it the guy above me said 8800 GT is best value for money. Will i still get quite high quality res and games like Crysis be able to jack the graphics to high and still get good fps ?
 
wow that is pretty insane.
Well i mean i was just using Crysis as an example. I mainly play WoW. But do want it to perform FpS games too and RTS games well.

As for res im using a 19" widescreen monitor atm (if thats any help) cant remember the res on the comp ive got atm. (at work)
But i am thinking of upgrading to a 24" screen soon once ive got this new rig together.

What about the GTS series also would they maybe be worth looking at. I think ive come to the conclusion i want to go for a 8800 as to which ver is still debatable.
 
Ok great thanks for all the info.

I'm not planning to buy my card till next month (pay day end of the month woots)

I'l have to have a thing about it me thinks
