    Thats probably the one I would get unless there was one with a substantially better cooler or passive solution for a similar price.

    Only thing with that particular card is that it is usually ~£105 on scans today only so maybe wait until it's back on

    Also, looking at the instructions Damon for that FSP booster I'm not sure whether it needs to be linked to your current PSU and the mains but if it does check you have the cable it needs to be linked to the PSU...

    Re: New Graphics Card

    Be aware that the Power Color boards with the zerotherm coolers are stuck at 100% fan speed (unless a revision has been made to correct this issue) and no amount of tweaking with say Rivatuner will alter it.

    Ebuyer have the Gecube for £110 and that will come with free postage

    Gecube HD 3850 Pro 512MB GDDR3 Overclocked Edition Dual DVI PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer

    The cooler is also good quality (it cools my 3870 effectively) and exhausts out the back which helps to keep case temperatures a bit lower.

    Its clocks which it doesnt mention are 700MHz GPU and 850MHz Memory (1700MHz Effective)

    Re: New Graphics Card

    Does the GeCube come with a VGA adapter?
