Just wondering what would be the cheapest option to replace it with. Would a 9500gt be okay? It needs to be just as powerful as the 8800gtx.
Cheers for any thoughts.

The 9500gt is much slower than the 8800gtx!Quote:

What's your budget?
How does a 250gts 512mb compare?
A GTS250 is basically a faster version of the 8800GTS 512MB.
The HD5750 1GB should be similar in performance to a GTS250 1GB and will consume less power too. It also has DX11. The HD5770 1GB will be faster than a 8800GTX.

Edit to sort out my ascii art table :)
Thanks for all the info, folks.
I decided to grab a 250gts 512mb from the "for sale forum" for £50. Hopefully it'll be close enough as budget's tight atm.
no way, either card will be some distance from the 8800GTXQuote:
