New graphics card

[TFL]Star · New graphics card

If get get a bit time in Jan and Feb Ill play I few new games, and I need to upgrade my comp a bit for that reason. I will need it for SOSE anyway I fear :)
Ive a Athlon 64 3500+, and Ill upgrade my RAM to 2 GB, but my old 6600GT is getting very hot when Im playing new games, for Bioshock or crysis it`s not enough anymore.

Im thinking of a new GPU (PCIexpress) , I can spend 100-200€ but I wouldnt like to spend moren than 150€......Does anyone has some good suggestions ??

Thx

200€+ on an Nvidia 8800 GT is the minimum you would want to go anywhere near Crysis with.

take a look at the current "c't" magazine. their leading article is "the optimal pc" and they have a few pages about graphic cards.

NOOO not on ebay! Are you crazy?!!?!!?

I hate it when people buy on ebay. You had better have gotten the receipt from the guy because that is needed for warranty refunds if you ever have a problem.
