Need new graphics card

    I'm looking at getting a new graphics card in the next few weeks and was wondering what you recomend for around the €150,- mark.

    I have a nvidia now but wouldn't mind giving a radeon ago this time round.
    Don't have a clue what the current range is like for both now, if someone can advise me.
    Help much appreciated,

    Jozi

    Yeah 9800 pro is your best bet. Don't settle for a 9600 even if you have to spend a little bit more. It's well worth it.

    They are great cards but are retailing for about 200 euro new atm. You could pick up a second-hand one for about 150. They are good overclockers as well.

    You's are getting me convinced to go for a 9800pro.

    Is that the model that is flashable to an xt? Remember reading something like that?
