[Robertnpmk]

Hello,

I am upgrading from a 6800gt and AMD athlon XP 2700- so long overdue an upgrade. I Dont need a case, Monitor, Keyboard or mouse.

My Budget is £800.00.

Mostly going to be used for GAMING then Films then internet browsing.

Thanks.

Robert

That looks good, Always prefered NVIDIA GFX cards though will the MSI Geforce 560 Ti have the same amount of grunt?

You can flash the 6950 to a 6970 (as long as its rev 1)

Here shows a comparison of a few different graphics cards.

Looking at those, if you prefer nvidia, you probably wanna go 480.

6970 vs 560 Ti

6970 vs 480

But I've heard the 480 produces a lot of heat!
