    I was thinking to buy new graphics card. The one i have now is GeForce 5900FX..... It isn't the best card to run games. I'm willing to spend around 200 for it. Any advices ?:confused:

    Thanks

    Psycho, your link is borked, links to boards latest posts.

    I'd recommend this: http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=318798
    Best value gpu out there at the moment & well within your budget

    Or this: http://www.komplett.ie/k/ki.asp?sku=325389
    Slightly over budget

    Thanks for quick replies.
    i was looking at GeForce 7900GS and 7600GT. What are the diffrenece on these 2 ?
    1) Price (difference 60euro)
    2) Core Clock speed (but it seems that 7600GT is faster + cheaper)
    3) Compliant Standards (7900GS has WHQL and another one doesn't // to be honest i don't even know what is it .. )
    4)Interface (7900GS - 2 x DVI-I - 29 pin combined DVI
    7600GT - 2 x DVI-I)

    Would these factors make big differnce between perfomance?

    The 7600 has super low temps when running, you could prob overclock it a fair bit and get away with it no problem, I have mine slightly overclocked and temps are still in fifties when under load

    Thank you all for your replies and advices. :D

    I think i'll go for 7600GT. Since the price is reasonable good, and specs seem to be good atm. ;)

    Be sure to oc that gpu with rivatuner rc 16, should clock to 7900gt speeds easily. There are also volt mods you can do to that card. Check this out, all you need is a multimeter & a pencil: http://sg.vr-zone.com/?i=3330&s=1

    Check out my thread here, for results of voltmodding my 7900gt: http://boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2054998159
