£200 for a new GPU

[AndrewJ]

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 .

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?

8800gt

Spotted it on OCUK and GF is trying to see whether I could get it in the morning

SO I' shall now tidy the house, clean the cat litter trays take dogs out do the pots cook tea

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

yes it would and any of em

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
