New Graphics Card?
I'm tempted to upgrade the graphics card in my Dell Dimension 9150.Just wondered if anybody had any thoughts on what to get? (It's got a PCI-E slot)
I wanna spend less than £100 ideally as I don't really play PC games that much (But would like the option to) and don't need something that's 'cutting edge'.
I've seen this ATi X850XT for just short of £55 delivered but obviously it's an older card by todays standards but would this handle something like Stalker??
Also this at Ebuyer with the Google Checkout discount at £91 delivered seems good value.
Any thoughts or other card recommendations?
Thanks in advance
Nick

the x850xt will do just fine for the odd games, also maybe consider the nvidia geforce 7 series, I just got a brand new 7950 GTO superclocked for £139 but with your budget you can get the 7600gt which is a very good card for the money

Thanks guys
Will the 850xt handle something like Stalker or am I better shelling out more on something like the 7xxx Nvidia or the x1950?
Not really interested in the next gen DX10 cards...

Thanks for that...
Anyone any thoughts on this one?
Full specs here (It's dx10 compatible too)
Would have preferred this one as it is is fanless but sadly out of stock

The 8600 series is a duffer. Buy an X1950
