I would like to get a new graphics card, since at the moment I have an intergrated one and it is horrible what type of graphics card would you recommend. Is it better just to wait to get a new pc ? £100 would be the price limit I think. English sites please. Thanks Kenny |

Do you have an AGP or PCI slot? |

And also is this is a laptop or desktop? Graphics cards can be tricky things to upgrade on laptops. |

And are you running Vista or XP (or some other OS...)? Nvidia have been having some problems with their Vista compatible cards. |

8800 is the best now, but if you have cash go for it, it's more than 200, 8600 will hold up |

The best is the 9800GX2, then 9800GTX, 8800GTX, 8800GTS, 8800GT, then the 9600GT. The 9600GT is one of the best value cards you can buy at the moment. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/141670 That one would be a good one to get, since it's also overclocked - it runs faster than the default speed. With a good card like that, though, you'll need a good motherboard and processor to make sure the FSB or CPU don't bottleneck your system and stop the card using its full capabilities. |

To be honest it sounds like i'm better off waiting to get a new pc. Mod can lock. |
