Yeh just at the moment im in the same position iv'e looked up reviews of the 8800 GTS and was concidering getting it to.Though there is just one thing that concerns me and that is if this card can run on DX9 and im wondering if it would work on a standard PC monitor Flat screened of course (not sure what size yet) instead of HD.Once you here these things then you will know what Graphics card to get.

so does anyone know were i can download free driver updates. Because half life 2 won't work and i done a scan and my graphics card is out of date (i think this is the problem) so if you could just list the links down below i'd be thankfull .... cya =D

write im pretty s@*t when it comes to computers though im good at playing games : P  i still don't know much about whats inside it?

if u tell us wat psu is and then il check and if it's not compatible how do i make it compatible

nvm im definetly getting the Nvidia 7950 gt :) but wat is the difference between 256mb or 512mb does it basically mean that one will run faster than the other ? ie the 512 will run faster ?

So how much are we talking for the 7950gt an would it be able to play oblivion on best with just 1gb of ram or would i have to also have 2gb of ram , are there any other things that i would need to do to my comp for this graphics card to work ?

p.s hw much ram does ure comp have, when ure able to play oblivion on best .
