Definitely not the 8800GT cards, they're too close to the 9800GTX and HD4850 in price, but not performance. If the budget is tight, the 9600GT isn't a terrible choice, but if you can afford it, I'd go with the 9800GTX or HD4850. Which exact one you get depends on what games you play - in some games the 9800GTX does better, while in others the HD4850 does better.RayvinAzn

Depends on your location. In the UK 9600GT(£90) and 8800GT(£100) are quite close to in price and performance and then the HD4850(£130)and then the 9800GTX is about £190

actually not true the 8800gt ocx (factory overcloaked) from BFG is on par with the 9800 series, easily, and i got 2 of them to put in SLI for only $360 and that was for both of them together. Also when it comes to compatability and drivers i would go with Nvidea. but that last comment is opinion.

to the TC check out this deal this is a monster of a video card especially for this price. get 2 of them run it in SLI mode if your motherboard supports it and you will see some serious GPU action going on.
