Hey,
What is currently the "best" single-slot graphics card? Is it the XFX 512MB 9800 GT? (http://www.scan.co.uk/Product.aspx?WebProductId=859179)
Thanks,
Tim

Probably the 4850... but be warned you do need to put a better cooler on unless you like very high temps
Or let the fan on the standard cooler spin a bit faster :)
The HD4850 is the best, the 9800GT wil probably be the best for noise/temps.
I think I'm going to go nvidia, I've been extremely happy with my 7800GTX for the last 3-4 years so will get one of these and hopefully it will be great! I'm not a hardcore gamer so the spec difference is probably negligible to me.Quote:

I'd agree as those coolers work extremely well but he wants single slotQuote:

The card is designed to run at higher temps so it's not a problem - you don't need to put a better cooler on at all.Quote:

4850 is the best single slot solution available for the price. Very fast with plenty of overclocking headroom.

The 9800/8800GT is a good budget gaming card, but I guess it depends what the OP means by 'best' - I'd assumed it was 'fastest'.
Lol... we can go in circles all day... I and most other people don't like high temps... or loud noise... with the stock cooler its one or the other afaik..Quote:
