Hey, just knackered my old graphics card (I think) - Next time i'll be more careful cleaning it. Well the 3 PCs I've tried it on all the colours are blue, nowt else. If I can fix that, explain how ;)

Anywho, not really sure what to decide on between these 3 PCI-E cards, all on the OCUK store;

XFX GeForce 6800 XT Extreme Edition 512MB GDDR3

BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC 256MB GDDR3 VIVO

or Sapphire ATI Radeon X800 GTO² 256MB DDR3

Thanks for the help, haven't reall kept up on the PC hardware scene in a long time, all new to me :)
 
7600GT is faster than an X850XT PE :confused:

When i ran my card at 600 core / 650 mem @ 16 pipes i got this 3d mark 05 score :

Not bad for 120 quid if u ask me ;)

Like i said b4 get a HIS X800 GTO :p

Don't think the HIS card will fit in my SN25P shuttle.. : / Unless there's a version without that whopper of an exhaust? Or am I looking at the wrong card.
Must admit i'm leaning towards the 7600GT, certainly looking at the overclocking value of each card
 
Hehe, I also admire your fanboyism ;) I used to be an ATi fanboy until it screwed up /cry
Any othe suggestions for graphics cards? Not really willing to spend above £140 - Mostly play games such as WoW, UT2k4 at 1280 x 1024 :)

My mates ti4600 has'nt been out of his machine, nor cleaned, since he bought it about 3 years ago!

I always thought better to leave alone than to clean? - Yes, the inside of my PC is a scary sight! :o :D

LOL !! ive had both cards mate ;)
 
I must admit I don't have a clue what I did wrong, I was just blowing dust off it and using tissue on the fan. Obviously did something wrong, as it no longer works /cry - Certainly need to take a closer look at it, gives me an excuse to buy a new PC though ;)
