Hello Tech guys, Im looking for a new vid card after my current one clonked out. I have around £200 to spend and am trying to find what will be best.
The card will be used for/ on the following:
17" mon at max res
Want it to play all my games maxed out, so BF2, Fear and so on. I currently have XP installed but will get vista at Christmas prehaps. I want it to be Nvidia and PCI-E. My 600W should be suitable for most cards. So can any of you guys recomment any? I dont mind getting a DX10 card but know nothing about the range really.

Ill get the card from this site:

Thanks for the suggestions!

Ideal for you. Hope you don't mind it being 33p over budget (free delivery).

8800 GTS 320Mb for 180+
or
8800 GTS 640Mb for 225+

Get the 640Mb if you can go that little bit higher in budget. I just got this

I´d say you´re right here G, but I rahter would go for the 320MB OC´ed version (its faster than the 640MB)

Depends what you're doing. For his 17" monitor, it certainly will be. For resolutions of 1680x1050 and higher, the 640MB version is better.

Yes, I know the 320 benches slightly faster but I might be getting a new monitor soon (don't tell the wife) so the extra memory might help a bit with the extra resolution. I only had a hour to play with it last night but do prefer it to my 7900GTO now in my 2nd rig. Need to play BF2 on it tonight
