nice graphics cards. i was reading somewhere about the new G92 GPU created by nvidia. the 8800 GTS?? wat about that one?
its very good, beats the GTX in some games, and is bested by the gtx in others, btu when Oced, itll beat it. but its upwards of £200
or, if you don't use ripoff overclockers, you can get one of these http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/ProductInfo.asp?WebProductID=764132 Not far off the 8800GTS in terms of performance, and a lot cheaper.
ITS MILES OFF, what are you on sam? and its £117 from here http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-008-PN&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=356 and from CCL, its £106, or £112 for a branded version. sam, it dont even come close to the GT. its an amzing card FOR ITS PRICE. hell the 3870 has now gone to £111 for a OcUK brand or £117 for the powercolor. so now i can recomend it again. the 3850 512 have droped to less than £100 aswell. the powercolor ones are like £15 less than scan. but with AA the 9600GT beats these cards.

Essentially, if you want an HD3850 or HD3870, OcUK are competitive but if you want a decent 256MB HD3850 go with Ebuyer. Overclockers also sell the cheapest 9600GT by miles if OEM is your thing. For proper brands though, they're no cheaper than anyone else. For the 8800s, Aria and Scan lead the pack, especially with Scan's offer of less than £200 inc. delivery for the BFG 8800GTS OC.
nice nice! cheers to all who have replyd! very helpful. i have placed a order for a 512 MB EVGA Geforce 8800 GTS with the new G92 GPU. hopefully should last me a long time. sfe sfe!!!
