What card please help!!!

[imatt89]

Hi
i am looking at buying my first computer from 'overlockers' or 'computer planet', this is going to be a high performance p.c./gaming p.c. around about £600,

now ive been looking into graphics cards and have been getting all confused, so many makes i.e evga,bgf,asus. But i want to know which are the ones to go for, and what model ati or nvidia.

i have been looking at 9800gtx or gtx+ but i know nothing of ati cards.

any advice or tips? i must also add that i would like to be able to play crysis lol

thanks

at your budget your looking at the 9800gtx+ (the + is the newer better version)
Which ati counterpart is the 4850

They will both "play" crysis but not max settings or res ofc

i must add that my monitor is only 22" hdmi input hanns g running at a max resolution of 1680 x 1050.

does this make thing better or worse?

 

[dannywilco]

make it better or worse regarding Crysis quality or your overall choice as to what card to get?

 

[imatt89]

Make the chioce od card i get any different? i know that my friend at uni has a 8800gt (not sure on model but he said its the one below ultra, asus)

and he can run crysis rather well and he has the same screen.

At that res. a 9800gtx+ or HD4850 should be fine.

get yourself a 4870, bout same price as the 9800's and better card, this one here for example

I say if you have the cash get a ati 4870, the 1gb version if you can afford it.
Unfortunately you just missed out on the sapphire 4870 1gb on offer at £166 with vat.
I missed out to

spend the extra £30-40 and get the 4870 1gb.
