£200 for a new GPU
 
Hi all

I'm soon to be in the market for a DX10 GPU for Crysis and other new games, I only have £200 to burn in the upcoming two month just before Xmas :dozey:.

I have my eye on

WorldsLongestLINK

(BFG 8800GT)

It seems alot of card for sub £200, and I could likely shift my HIS X1950 Pro 512MB for about £50 I think so would work out well for me.

Thoughts?

Zingle do you think it would really be a performance boost though

I plan on games like COD4, Crysis, Battlefield 3 due out late 08 as such, before I begin saving for the Quad Core.

My specs are

Seasonic S12 600
Asus A8N-SLi Deluxe
AMD x2 4600
3GB DDR400
250GB SATA2 HD

And the GPU I am toyin with replacing HIS X1950 Pro 512MB DX9

In addition, what brand? I am looking at

Leadtek
BFG
XFX

Ah fair enough, personally I want to see what this new ATI/AMD card is before I part with money. Also hopefully it will start a pricewar
