Hi, I was wondering if any of you are up to date knowledge wise with the latest graphics cards? I used to be when i bought my GF3 Ti500 almost 2 years ago, but now i'm thinking of upgrading i just want to get a second opinion before i rush out and buy something thats going to let me down. don't get me wrong, i'm quite amazed how long the Ti500 has lasted me and i'm damn proud of my choice.. but money isnt easy to come by i know, and i'm looking towards £100-£160 mb more if something special is out there (UK retail preferably not online).
using toms hardware's ever useful VGA charts, i have come up with the following short list in order of preference, (bare in mind i despised UT2003, and love 2004, who can't love onslaught so i'm gonna need a card decent enough).
I'm unsure whether these cards maybe america exclusive, tom's hardware doesnt exactly help in this department.
Key:
Red - Unable to find in UK
Blue - UK
Green - Unsure
Geforce fx 5800 Ultra (can't find in UK, seems to outperform everything, i might be interested in buying online at the right price.)
Geforce fx 5900 XT
Radeon 9500 Pro (another that i can't find, if you can find some prices for me again it seems to trash the UK's versions.)
Radeon 9600 Pro
Geforce 5700 (depending on price difference again may not be UK)
yes the specs get lower, but i'm leaving it open to price, whatever gets the best specs to price ratio i will get. So please leave your opinions, reviews, suggestions, prices anything you have on this selection that will influence my decision, i will be most grateful.
