I'm running a GF Ti500 at the moment and looking at the likes of Doom3 and Half Life 2 I'm gonna have to upgrade.
So, whats a decent card to go for. I'm not looking to spend mega bucks here either, so whats the best value card out there?
What gives me the best bang for my buck?

Best bang for buck is GF4TI4200, it lacks DX9 and can't handle high AA or AF but is only £70ish and in pure 3D speed equal to Rad9600PRO and GF-FX5600ultra. The 4200 also o/c very well, often exceeding 4400/4800SE and won't devalue much either. When it comes to Doom3 and Half Life 2 it would seem GF-FX may run as DX8 cards anyway so again the 4200's DX8 isn't a problem. If you want DX9 now (makes those games look prettier) then Rad9600PRO is the way to go, £130ish and o/c's very well too. If you can find a 9500PRO or 9700 (even nonPRO) then those are even better, 9700 often o/c to yield perf close to a 9800PRO! Although gfx card is the main factor in gaming perf, do ensure your CPU is up to the job ... and 512MB is strongly rec'd.


GF4TI4200...
Ebuyer should have a cheap one too, but I wouldn't shop there peronally.
