Just go to your local shops in/near your town and ask the guys there for a list of the cards they sell, then go home and compare the specs and prices...
All this because we can recommend any card, but in the end if your local shop doesn't have it, you're not helped at all (and I don't think you have a credit card and are willing to order one online; it would be more expensive anyways btw)...

if ur willing to pay with a credit card then use www.ebay.com
RE: Gfx card by Nathan on 06-12-2005 at 07:40 PM
The best solution would be to go to a shop and buy one from there!
RE: Gfx card by Anubis on 06-12-2005 at 07:45 PM
Why don't you just look around the internet for a bit, in simplest terms the bigger the mb and the smaller the $, the better the deal. Then post your findings here, and everyone can go through the finer details of the specification of the card.

Get an X800XT, and overclock it to PE speeds, or you can buy a 6800GT and overclock it to Ultra speeds, those are top of the line cards. =D

RE: Gfx card by Reaper on 06-12-2005 at 10:26 PM
lol. Search around for ATi Radeon X800 or X800XT
and search for nVidia GeForce 6600 GT or 6800 GT
RE: Gfx card by paperless on 06-12-2005 at 10:33 PM
For my new computer im going to buy a GeForce 6800GT 256MB
But!, for 312Euros you can buy the ATI Radeon X800XL 256MB (PCI-E) which is pratically the same as 6800GT.
I chose 6800GT because my parents didnt give me a limit for the cost of the PC and as i have an ATI, i want to try nVidia.

I think the ATi can be overclocked to something even better, but im not sure if you can with the nVidia cards

Dont 6800GT and 6800Ultra have the same heatsinks? If you overclock it to 6800Ultra speeds you should be fine shouldnt you?
RE: Gfx card by Reaper on 06-13-2005 at 02:10 PM
hmm well i just bought a Radeon 9800 SE -.-'. but it was for £50 from eBay 
i need to buy some hardcore heatsink and fan before i overclock it *_*
