O.P. Graphics card
What should I get? £250-£300 max.

8800GTS 512mb still good or are the ATI HD 3800's better now?

RE: Graphics card
i like the 8800GTS so that would be my choice. I dont know much about the ATI card as i have never been a fan of ATI.

RE: Graphics card
8800GTS is one of the worst options to buy a graphics card. The 8800GT is cheaper and more powerfull. I recommend the 8800GT, or the 9600GT if you want more VALUE but less performance.

3800's arent as good, but have a few advantages, but still not as good over all. There good for a budget gaming PC:P

I would have to agree, the GT is much better than the GTS, and it is relatively cheap as well. I stated in my last post that the GTS is better, i would probably stick by that if we were comparing the GTS and the 3800, but that would be because im a nvidea fanboy :P

I was able to pick up my 3870 for $190 less than the 8800GT's were a few months ago and clock it slightly higher. Out performed my mates PCs in games like Crysis and Cod4 etc.. I wouldn't have called it budget at the time but now both the 8800gt and the 3870 are budget gfx cards.

Can't suggest what card you should get now because I really just don't give a shit now.

I dont think the 8800GT can be classified as a budget card, seeming as it is still one of the more expensive ones out there...especially the 512mb or the 1gb models

Just because you have a job doesn't justify the cost. I for one wouldn't want to spend insane amounts on unjustifiable objects irrespective of how much I have in my pocket/bank. :)

I would hardly call $200 insane amounts of money :rolleyes: I could have purchased 4 of them with this weeks pay.
