Will a HD 2400 Pro do?

I do not play the latest games (BF2 at most recent), I do want dual-monitor support.

This, or pay £20.00 more for the 2600 Pro that performs two-times better?

Thanksm
 
Actually, just came across this:

Sapphire X1650 XT 256MB GDDR3 - £45.00 :eek:

I'm looking to spend around £45.00 - any recommendations of your own? I was liking to go with nVidia this time, but it seems there is a missing £45.00 gap in their range.
 
I hope you don't play BF2 on any reasonable settings. You'd be better off going for a 7600 or the like.
 
Hmmm. I don't know about the X1650. A couple of forum members from a Call of Duty community that I'm in have them and they are fairly happy. The main game for them is Call of Duty which ran amazing on my 9800pro so it's not a great comparison.

Can you extend your budget to this?. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-151-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=938

Save up again and add another in Crossfire later on as it should fly :D .

EDIT: Gareth beat me to it :) .

The second screenshot is more representative of the general differences between the Sapphire RADEON X1650 XT and the NVIDIA GeForce 7600 GT in Battlefield 2. That is to say, there is no big difference throughout most of the game. Battlefield 2 ran very well and looked quite excellent on both of these video cards.

x1650 XT is slightly faster than the 7600 GT, so £45 for a card thats faster than the old 6800 Ultra is a steal in my book. :p

Is £5 more for a 8500GT a good deal, or £5 again for a Sapphire HD 2600 Pro 512MB?
