Well, OcUK deals of the week are making me think its time to upgrade from my barton 2500 + 9800 pro - about time I hear you all say! So, as I've not bought a graphics card for a few years, i was after some advice. I've not got too much cash to fork out on this, so i was thinking of going for the Athlon 64 3700 san diego, thats on this weeks offer.
What graphics card would be a decent partner for it - being a skinflint, and also bearing in mind that Vista is around the corner with DX10, i was wondering about punting for something cheap, such as a Raedon 1600, or maybe a 7300, and maybe upgrading in a year or so's time. Do folks think thats a fair strategy, will i get a decent performance boost? Or should i consider different cards?
Thanks in advance for any thoughts folks
