I would like to upgrade my existing card, (an nvidia fx5200), but do not know which one to get. I want to spend about £100ish on one.
I have seen a nvidia gf fx5900xt 128mb for £117, how good a card is it and is it good value for money?
The reason I want to upgrade is to play doom3 and half life 2. I know the specs say my system will be able to play it but I want it to be the best it can without spending £300+ on a card.
I know alot of people prefer the ati cards, but I had a friend who could not get his up and running on his machine and it put me off them cards, (it was not faulty).
Could anyone recommend a card that will work with my system or give me some pointers as to what to look out for.
By the way my computers spec is -
MSI kt6 delta 6590 mobo
Amd 2600+ barton
512mb(333mhz) ram
Nvidia gf fx5200
120gb maxtor hdd
230w psu(dont know if you need to know this)
Thanks everyone.
