Default Graphics Card

I'm thinking of getting a new 128MB graphics card that supports pixel shading. That will work well with RBR amd CMR2005

Any recomendations?

Depends what you want to spend, but I would recommend for value for money:


Sapphire Radeon 9800 pro 128 mb 256bit DDR ram tv out, dvi out etc.

For £112 + vat on www.ebuyer.co.uk


It supposedly has the most overclockable memory of the radeon series (see toms hardware).

Not many games that this card would struggle with especially when you can clock it to an XT with the software that comes on CD with the card.

I wasn't really looking to spend that much.

What's good around the £50 price range?

£50 ? Unless you get one off e bay, I doubt you'll find a decent one for that money

You can get a Radeon 9600 SE for that and update firmware and memory clock to a Pro model.


Make sure you also buy a £4 vga cooler though.
