Hey

Will be going to OCuK physically 2moro and buying one of these cards.
Problem is that i dont know if i can justify the £80 difference in price.


Im going to definatley be into games like Elder Scrolls Oblivion and I want to know which card is the best bang for buck to enable a good level of play for the game.

What would you choose? :confused:

I see your point but truth be told I am a very big ATI fanboy at heart :S .

Have had a 6800 and thought it was awesome, but it just didnt impress me quite like when i first got my 9600 Pro :P. hehe


I think probably the X1800 will be chosen, will ask for opinions from OcUK when i get there. Any more here welcome though definately.

Btw, cheers for the reply :) :D
 
Hehe, cheers for the replies. Will be going in about 30mins ish and will report back with my decision, Might get persuaded but you never know.

You guys have definatey helped. Cheers :)
 
Im gonna go for something to please me for now. And worry about upgrading again at a much later date.

Can't be bothered anymore with the waiting game. Just managed to save it up enough and want to give my comp a nice boost. :) .

Cheers for reply though mate. :D
 
Well Guys, Ended up with an ASUS A8R-MVP and a Sapphire X1900XT.

I just couldnt resist. I have to say having everything on max setting without a stutter on e.g. BF2 is in my eyes incredible.

I decided on the 1900XT due to the fact it should last me a bit longer and run the game i most want to play well ,oblivion and the x1900 is better at shader intensive games ,found that out earlier.

(Also wanted to be a willy waver ;) )

Just a note to the shop:

I have to say service at OcUK was ok, Speedy but the guy who served me seemed to have no opinion on anything which didnt help, Didnt seem to grasp the sentence, 'What is the best bang for your buck graphics card'. But hay, still got me what i wanted. Thanks

I did take into account all you guy's opinions but i was definately pushed by evil willy waving side to buy the faster.


Cheers everyone for the replies , Much appreciated!!!

P.S , If anyone knows how i can get some more volts through my Opty instead of the board bios's max 1.45v I would be interested to know. Bye and Thanks !!!!!!!!! :D
