    hey guys and gals well im looking to buy a new graphics card to play all the most newest games :D and well i have no idea what to go for, though i do have a budget which is £200 including p&p :D. also im a fan of call of duty and i just got the call of duty 2 demo today and well my gigabyte geforce 6600 pci-e doesnt seem to run it really good.


    i was also thinking seeing as i have PCI-E would 2 geforce 6600 run cod2 on max settings with all eye candy and get real good FPS or should i go and get a brand spanking new card :D.



    well i'll let u all help me to decide :D

    anyways remember..... £200 i know that ain't alot but well thats all i can afford right now due to my mum and bro's birthday coming up. :D


    anyways ...................



    peace. ^_^

    I'd recommend THIS - Within your budget, and will run all the latest games fine. Its £190 inc. VAT and wont cost more than £10 to post I'm sure.

    hm..I ordered my GigaByte 6600GT PCI-E SLI :D Not sure how it will work yet but i hope it runs the games im gona play on it :D Or u could start with a SLI card (if u got a SLI Mobo) buy the 6800GT and 2 of those wud break any games-lol

    The 6600GT im getting is around £115 so if u get probably a 6800GT it probably be around the £170+ mark - PCI Express in all

    ATI cards have never been a problem for me - Always top notch :)
