ok, thanks all, now that we've resolved the geneology of the various cards can I have a bit more advice on performance?
Going by Tomshardware the dual 250's would be a bit of a step up, and almost at the same level as a 5850 for £50 less. I can't go crossfire as my board is single card or SLI only.
So is Toms right? Would the dual 250's be a worthwhile step up for the money? or the 5850? also will i see any real improvement with a Q6600 processor at stock? I can't overclock it as every time I do I have synchronizing problems with every online game i own. I can get a stable overclcok at 2.9Ghz very easily, could prob go higher, but every online game craps out with sync errors
