    9800Pro/6800/6600GT *AGP* or other?!

    My 9600pro in sig went pop today. What should I replace it with. I think one of the 3 above cards is best but im willing to consider others. I want to spend up to an absolute maximum of £200 but would prefer to be looking at the £120-180 mark.

    Want to order tonight so I can get it by monday/tuesday so any links to cheapest prices etc would be great. Help me hexus friends...

    yep seconded from what ive heard taking the 6600gt gives 20%ish perfomance boost over the 9800pro while the 6800nu gives around 40% with the possibility of more if you unlock the pipes

    Looks like that £170 6800nu on lowestonweb.com has gone up £15 this christmas

    http://www.lowestonweb.com/Products/...5-C01592C7F1E3

    Now its at £185, anyone know anywhere that still sells it for £170?

    I'm gonna be running at 1280x1024 res as thats the max my monitor can handle. Probably won't bother OC. Although I will probably get tempted eventually.
