upgrade time (advice please!)

[The_TailGunner]

hey all,

Its time to upgrade my venerable nvidia 8600gtx, but i have been out of the market for so long, im clueless as to what to get.

Im not looking for bleeding edge, just something to give me a decent performance boost at as low a price as possible.

i'd prefer to stay nvidia, but im open to ati if there is a killer card that wins hands down price/performance wise. a single card would also be preferred.

thanks for your time

How much are you prepeared to spend?

GTX260/275s and HD4870/HD4890s are pretty good value for money (sub £200) and perform very well.

4890 is the best card you'll get under £200 in terms of performance and price.
