I have the system to the left, and am looking to upgrade my vid card. (Motherboard is AGP only.) I'm planning to get a new system around Q3/4 this year, so I'm not spending mega bucks.
However, in the mean time, I would like to turn on *some* of the eye candy in FEAR/BF2 etc (At the same time I'm getting a 250GB SATA HD and an extra 512MB PC3200 RAM to burn some Xmas cash).
Anyhoo, I want to spend around £100, but I would go up a bit if the performance increase was worth it. All the cards here, as far as I can see, are 256-bit and 256MB. My main options seem to be:
£101 Ati Radeon X800 GTO
£95 nVidia 6600
£128 nVidia 6600 GT
£150 nVidia 6800 GS
So, which would be best? For a benchmark, my current system gets 2900 in 3DMark05 with the GPU overclocked, most processes off etc.
Thanks for any/all input.
