Which Nvidia card? 200 tops

[Technex]

Hi guys,

Well, my old trusty Nvidia 8800 GTS 640MB has decided to die... Upgrade time!

What would you guys recommend for a budget up to 200 pounds (top, would prefer less really).

My only need really is to have the best FPS (I love fast responses and no FPS drops) in class running at 1920 x 1200. Counter Strike Source will be the game played most of the time.

GTX460? Not sure, please give me some ideas

.

Intel Quad core Q6600

Lapped Thermaltake Big Typhoon

Abit IP35 PRO

HX 620W Corsair

4GB A-Data Vitesta DDR2-1066

Cheers,

Laurence

Seems to me your only option is the 460 tbh dude

TTL is right.

The 460 is probably your best solution.

Unless you want a 465.

Definitely the 460. It's a brilliant card.

Give it the old Delia Smith mate. Get it in the oven. My 8800 Ultra turned its toes up to the daisies recently and since being Jamie Olivered it's been kicking ass ever since (what? two months now?).

Any way, I would reccomend an update and as the guys have said if you insist on Nvidia then the 460 is the way ahead for mid level gaming with SLI 460 as high level. From early benchmarks they seem to beat out the 480 for all out grunt.

What we need is Stepy to follow the protocols and get us some real world benchmarks. We have some for the 480 so it would be amazing to compare.. Stepy, step up my son !

a 1gb 460 fella thats your best bet

 

[thestepster]

well i dont have many games with benchies to test with so not sure where to start with it

Well read a review and if you need any help ask TTL or Vonblade. Most of them can be had for free tbh.
