Hello, its just another graphics card question.
I'm looking to spend 100 quid max., can you recommend a good budget card, with good performance for its price. I aren't too fussed weather its radeon or Nvidia.

Please don't tell me to save up for a better one, because even if i do save up i can't bring my tight ass self to* spending more than 100 quid on a card.

Cheers.

Edit: mistake corrected

OK, that budget was £150 but you'll get the idea, nobody can probably be arsed to go over basically the same topic.

the 9600pro is about £90, or you can get the 9600XT with 256mb onboard memory for £120. See ebuyer.co.uk.

Problems with 9600s? Since when? They are amongst the most popular cards out there. I have a PC with a 256 MH 9600 XT and it is great for the money. Can be bought for £109 off of overclockers.co.uk.

I went onto Sapphires website, and nearly every Topic in thier help forum is "9600 problem" so i turned away.

What make it yours?

9600XTs are the best card for the mid range user by far. For the price they are 100% quality. Nothing wrong with them wat-so-ever. I have used them at least 20 times and they work fine each time every time!

Meanwhile on planet Earth. . .

A lot of problems occur with 9600 because exponentially more people have bought 9600's. This is one of the reasons Linux and OSX appear so bug-free compared to Windows, because correspondingly fewer people use them.

the reason you only see bad things in forums, is cos people only ever use the forums to talk about problems... *slaps disco*
