Dunno about 8800. Comsumes little less power than a the 2900's.
Dang im so gay about this. I dont want a 2600, cause there slower than the 1950's.

 

Find me a X1950 XTX please, thats under £150.

And dont I fuckin know it. Sheeshshh :(

code:
"There isn't tons of difference between the 8600 GT and the 8600 GTS, although the GTS is a little bit faster. The biggest problem is that the 8600 GTS is about half the speed of the 8800 GTS. That's a big drop when you're comparing about 60fps in a game to just 35fps."

The 2900s aren't terrible. They're roughly on a par with the 8800 GTS cards. The negativity comes because ATI don't have anything better at the moment, hence they don't have a competitor for the GTX or the Ultra.

 

Trig: The X1950 Pro is still a decent card if you don't want to break the bank. Alternatively, see if you can pick up a 320MB version of the 8800 GTS within your budget.

That's a good card for the price, and will save you £40 so that you can come to teh Northern meat.
