Im not usually the one to seek for graphics card advice, but I have had alot of trouble lately keeping up with the graphics card trend. Over the past year or so 2 of my ATI 9800 pro's broke, and I have been stuck with my dads geforce 5700LE. He now wants his card back, so I need some suggestions for a new card which is in the price range of 70-100 Pounds (just under $200). Just dont suggest a 9800 pro to me.

    I'm using a PCI-E Sapphire X700, works mighty well so far (runs Riddick, Doom 3, Battlefield 2, Half-Life 2, Painkiller etc. fine at 800x600/1024x768, lots of stuff on, no AA). I can't speak for the AGP line in terms of price or performance, but performance can't be that far off and I got mine for under $200.

    Isn't the next geforce 7 line supposed to be coming out? Probably their Mid and Low end 7-series cards. I was thinking about the 6600GT but if the 7600GT comes out why not get that.

    yeah that was the one im talking about, im trying to find some sort of review about it, but no avail :/

    Edit: after looking at the stats of the cards, the x700 dominates the 6800 and is 10 pounds cheaper. the x700 it is then <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
