Ok now i have a bit of money to burn i have a few options on the graphics card front.
I can get the X1800XT from ocuk for £170 + p+p
or
The X1800XL AIW from scan for £200
Now as the XT and XL are the same except for the clock speeds is it worth going for the XT? Or should i just get the XL and overclock it a bit (after buying some arctic cooling).
I am very tempted by the X1800XL AIW because of the AIW features; especially as it has built in DVB TV (not just analogue).
Does anyone have any first hand experience of the graphics cards, as some of the reviews don't really go into as much depth or they don't cover what i want to read about
Otherwise is there a decent enough graphics card (similar to 7800gt) which can be had for pretty cheap to play on a nice widescreen 19/20" monitor as that is going to be my next purchase in a few weeks...
I know you get a lot of these 'which graphics card should i get ' threads but i am seriously split between the choices. The XT sounds like a steal, altho the XL is tempting because of the features.
I mainly play Counterstike Source and Battlefield 2 if that is of any interest.
Thanks in Anticipation
