Good morning all,
I've just had confirmation from the very helpful Amanda at Scan (having been helped to this point by the equally helpful Mick) that my Gigabtye 7850 was defective, and has been successfully RMAd.
So I'm on the lookout for a replacement for my 8800GT.
PSU is 620w Corsair Modular.
Mobo is Abit IP35 Pro
CPU Q8200
Sound: X-fi X-treme music
I was thinking of getting one of these:

when it comes back in stock, or
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/2gb-g...1098mhz-cores-
It's the absolute limit of my budget, and a bit more than the 7850, but looks good to me. I want to stick with Nvidia. I have two monitors, and would like to run both through DVI (on the 7850 I had one on HDMI and one on DVI. Call it illogical if you want, but I'd like to get them both on DVI).
1. for my budget, is 660 probably about the range to look at?
2. Anyone got any other helpful thoughts?
I've been planning a "dream basket" of mobo, CPU and memory upgrades as well, but I think that's a long time in the future, and has only illustrated to me how out of touch I currently am![]()
