    6800 GT on Komplet, but if you wanna push the boat out shop around on Ebay for a 6800 Ultra ¬ but you maybe need a little more than 300 for it !

    6800gt on www.jes.de. Do you have an agp or pci-e motherboard?

    What resolution will you be playing games at mostly (or entirely)? At 1280 x 1024 for example, a 6600 GT even may be adequate, depending on your expectations. If you want to play games at 1600 x 1200 though, then the 6800 GT is the minimum card you should be looking at. And as IncredibleBulk pointed out, www.jes.de is the place to get one - they start around the 250 mark.

    I found www.anandtech.com to have a good few reviews to.
    for 300 euro i think i might go with a nvidia card now, have a x800xl that cost me 320 a few months ago when the 6800gt's where dearer.

    I got a new X800XL last week,awesome performance with little or nothing between it and 6800GT.
    I leaned towards ATI card as its more capable for HL2 mods and me cant wait for DOD-source.
    Watch BF2 fly with the X800XL too :)
