About LinkBacksguys, what's the best gfx card i could get for say 150-200? i've heard that the 9500pro was a good buy when it was out, shame i didn't pick one up at the time.

get an ati card if u want good dx9 performace. current nvidia cards/drivers are about half as fast at it (they are *slightly* faster in dx8 stuff) u can afford 9700pro/9800np with that. if u want to clock get an unlocked one - sapphire are only unlocked ones i know of, or cheapest if u dont.
95/700xx are not being made/sold any more in uk, the only place i know u can get them is second hand or a brand called grandmars, which are OEM from hongkong iirc, these are on ebay for about £170 for 9700p
dont bother getting a 9500np and attepting to softmod, it can perminatly damage the card and the chances of it working are not great
get a 9800 non pro

for a review
Or a 9600 pro is nice, shop around they are about for £120ish
9700pro, better than 9800np

If you get a customer, or an employee, who thinks he's Charles Bronson, take the butt of your gun and smash their nose in.
You can pickup a sapphire 9600 from ebuyer for £99.99. Good buy and a good price
yeah i have one of these grandmars cards with ram heatsinks on i can can whole heartily recomend them i paid £172 for my 9700 np but he has dropped the price of them my 9700 is ticking away happilly at 335/324 speeds and is recognised as a pro in my bios and everything!!!!! over 16,000 3d mark and over 5,000 in 03 he has just dropped the prices of his cards as well and he just got some 2500xp bartons in as well !!!Originally posted by |SilentDeath|

ok, cheers guys, much apreciated
only just though, and the 9800 core is supposed to overclock a bit better than the 9700...find it with some GC2A on it and you'll have a 9700 Pro beater...Originally posted by Korky
9700pro, better than 9800np
any 9700/9800 card under £200 is an excellent deal, imho...if you don't want to push so high however, find a 9600 Pro (some nice Tyan Tachyon ones at ebuyer for £117.50 atm) and push it a little.
hth, hand
get the 9800np,
clock it,
job done...
bye bye 9700pro,
hello 9800pro...
