Upgrade from 8800 gts

[Itchytrigg]

Hey guys looking for some guideance, I've got an 8800 GTS at the mo and its been playing up so Im look to replace it and wonder what with?

I've seen Gainward GTX 260. Good card to change to for that kind of price range?

If anyone has suggestions at that price point (or lower) Id appreciate the input.

yeah thats your best option round that price, the only other option for similar performance around the price is the ATI's 1gig 4870

The Gainward GTX260 is a bargain at that price.

If you're after an ATI card though, this one is very cheap also.. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-188-SP

Thanks guys.

Which would you pick between those 2 cards? I cant really tell which would be better or are they both about the same?

Get the 260, very quiet and cool. Better drivers too.

both about the same, go for whichever you prefer, or if your mobo supports either SLI or xfire, go for the one that would give you the option of adding a 2nd later if you chose to
