    I currently have a 128mb X800se. Think this is it below:

    Was in a bit of a rush so couldn't get much more about it. Am thinking about getting a new gfx card, but I need some help...

    What is a better card? I mean I know the obvious like a 7800 or a high end 6800 but in terms of affordable, decent prices what can I get to out preform my x800?

    Also, how much is my current card worth? It plays BF2 at more or less max settings, with my 3.4processor and 1gig ram.

    Thanks

    If you can stretch to a ~300 euro card get the OCUK 7800gt from overclockers.co.uk, excellent price:performance ratio

    Yeah the card in overclockers is nice. But i mean the core is 25MHz more and ram is 50MHz more which = no real difference to the standard. Only thing going for that card is the price. It is a very good price for a 7800GT.
