Any reccomendations? Was thinking a 6600GT

in that case i wud go for this one maybe http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=402366 but if u cans ave up a we bit more its always worth it. and get soemthing a lil bit better, u ever thought of maybe upgrading to PCI express?

[deeloughran]

Would that not be downgrading since AGP is faster?

That shows it in reference to PCI, not PCI-e which is a lot faster...

Anyway, on topic, the 6600gt would be a perfect card in that price range, have just installed one for an uncle and its pretty damn good, copes well with moderate gaming...

That ones not in stock

nice card tho

oh, i mean upgrading to PCI express meaning a wider range of faster cards. there is only really 1 other http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Produ...oductID=378694 or maybe u cud ask in the scan part and see whent he other wud be in stock, worth thinking bout upgrading to PCI though, would give u a much bigger rang int he future.

If you think you'll be upgrading again within the next 2-3 years I'd suggest seriously considering migrating to PCI-Express. Remeber you can always sell you current card and motherboard on the bay or at a CEX.

Thanks for your help

I ended up getting a 6800 for £90 del, but fitted with a 6800gt fan.. So with a bit more cooling, gonna unlock the 4 pipes, and make it just perform 5% less than a proper 6800gt
