Upgrade

[mrmajestic]

I need to upgrade my graphics due to a faltering 6800ultra.Not really into the current games mostly used for Flghtsim. Im not really looking for a high end card but suggestions would be welcome.Oh btw my psu is 420w.

What res do you game at ? AGP or PCIE ? What are the rest of your system specs?

Welcome and claimed btw

*edit*

Forgot to ask - how much do you want to spend ?

welcome to the forums, mate. could you list out your system's specs so we can help you better?

saying you have a 6800U is not much help - is it PCIe or AGP? do you know the amperage ratings of your PSU? what resolution do you game at?

8800gt is the best you could get for that price but it would be severly bottlenecked by your cpu then, are you going to upgrade more in the near future?

8800GT, but try to overclock your CPU some

Hi

I don't see upgrading CPU mobo etc in the near future unless I get severe problems. I thought I could get away with just the Video card for now.
