Graphics Card - Whats A Good One?

[Wizzandabe]

Whats a good card. Im not sure, not a graphics person, but I want to play the newiest games, and really go with the flow.

Im running on 2.4Ghz @ 256MB DDR 2700 with a Geforce 4 MMX 440.

So you can see why I want to upgrade it. I got a budget of about £150 - £150.

ati radeon 9600 pro (look on ebuyer)

or found a 128MB XFX GeForce FX5700 Ultra here (http://www.cclcomputers.biz/jscript_menu/retail/retail_frame.htm) for only 152.33 (inc VAT)

also wizz i would reccomend getting some more ram (the same speed and try for the same company too)

I dont know what the prices in your country are, but you could get a ati radeon 9600 xt for that money in the Netherlands.

buy one of these (http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=51440) and one of these (http://www.crucial.com/uk/store/PartSpecs.asp?imodule=CT3264Z335&cat=RAM) and it all works out nicely

Dont know about the 256 mb xt, but the 256 mb pro was actualy a bit slower then the 128 mb pro version.

get an asylum 128mb gfFX5700ultra

actually, when i think about it, the 5600 ultra does a fucking good job too


but you dont need to upgrade&#33; an mx440 should keep you tied down for another year&#33;

oh yea and the 9600XTs suffer from d3d lockup syndrome, occasionally, such as on Generals, it will lock up. If it could be switched to opengl, do it&#33;
