Upgrading From 8800GT

[jake9891]

Hi All,

I am in need of advice, I think it's time to upgrade my XFX 8800GT to something more modern and I am having a hard time choosing which graphic card to go for I am looking at 6950s and 560Tis. The card needs to have 2GB memory, last for the next 3 years and have some overclocking capabilities. My budget is £200-£220. Anything good you guys can recommend?

Thanks!

The Asus 6950 is a beast.

It's so beast that I wonder if it's going to fit in my Antec 300

Edit:

Decided to go for one of the 6950s, I am thinking about either:

Asus ATI Radeon HD 6950 DirectCU II 2048MB or MSI HD 6950 Twin Frozr III Power Edition 2048MB (not available on OCuk, but in similar price range)

which one would be better?

I recently went from an E-VGA 8800GT to an ASUS 6950 2gb unlocked to 6970

Asus. It has Direct Contact.

from what I have read on here ATI will be releasing new cards in December, so if you can hang on till then it may be worth it!

perhaps someone could post a link to release dates?

I need to check if my HX620 has 8-pin PCI-E cable when i get home, I can't remember having one...

Shame I missed the offer on Asus :/

Go for a 6950, great cards!

Damnn it! I checked if I have the 8-pin with my Corsair and I do... but it doesn't seem like the card will fit in my Antec 300
