What graphics card for Xmas?

[janesssssy]

Is it worth getting anything apart from a Geforce 8800?

if i only had £200 then would i be wasting my hard earned ££££

whats the next best thing?

How about a nice ATi X1950 Pro, should do the trick

X1950XT the HIS version. Its a beast. Not used it yet. Its a bday pressie.

 

[man_from_uncle]

Agreed, the X1950XT 256mb looks like a very good option in the sub £200 bracket.

 

[janesssssy]

ok, what about anything but the 8800 i dont mind how much.
im just seeing what the next best thing is.

in the same boat here dont want to sink serious dough into a dx9 card was considering the x1950pro but it would be £130 less for a dx10 card so i am holding out just now to see what happens after christmas

if you cant wait your options are 7900gto getting harder to find even at £200 these days or a 7950gt on the ati side there is the x1950xt both of these cards come in 256mb or 512mb flavours at about the £200 mark if you shop around

I bought an OC Galaxy 7900 GS as a stop gap until Vista / DX10 / more sensible priced next gen cards come out. More than happy with it.

Ok, im going to buy one, playing CS last night with a 6200 turbo cache card, it wasnt fun.

so the question is.... What card will fit in to a Sugo case? i dont want to mod the hard drive cage.

Got a X1950 XT
