Vista - Recommend a Card

I've been looking at Cards for the past 2 months trying to decide which 1 to buy,at 1st it was a 8800 gt over-clocked,but now I'm tempted by the GTX 260?

Well, it really depends on what your needs are. I actually have an overclocked Zotac 8800GT AMP! edition card and I love it. However I am about to be upgrading to an EVGA 9800GTX+ very soon. This 8800 is just fine for most games but I want a bit more performance in Hellgate:London with settings maxed at 1600x1200 and this card just can't cut it. If you really need a nice new card, I'd reccomend the 9800GTX+ or a GTX260. Those are the new big boys on campus. The 8800 is simply older technology.

Hi jaffa,

If you provided us with a maximum budget, we could be of more assistance. And off course as jsh said, what will you be using the card for? As for the 8800 GT, if I were you I´d go for a 9800 GTX+ or 9800 GT Ultimate (as for an online store, I recommend www.aria.co.uk) because the 8800GT has got a very noisy little fan. You could replace it with an aftermarket cooler off course, but you can save yourself the trouble...

Let us know your max budget! If you can afford a GTX260, GET ONE! It´s an excellent card! Ask the users on the forum who have one, xguntherc for example..

Cheers,

Amplid
