gfx card Decision

Hello, I'm currently part way through a new build, but cant decide on what gfx card to get. I have a budget of around £85, and have been looking at the 9800GT or HD4770 the most.
Advice / comments would be hugely appreciated ^^
Regards,
Cookeh

Re: gfx card Decision

I would stick with the 9800GT as its a very good card, i currently run on a 9600gt 512mb ddr3 and it handles any game i throw at it.

It even manages crysis at about 30-40fps 1280x1024 stock clocked so you could go a long way with 9800gt.

Best place to purchase from is EBay

Hope this helps buddy :p

Yes I would go for the 250 for that budget but what is the rig going to be used for?

1GB version of the 250 for under £80 Clicky

What about a 1GB 4870? Ok I know its £20 over your £85 budget but I reckon you could flog the 9800GT for that.

Mainly for school work, and ofc gaming xD
Just want to be able to play the new COD6 at a decent rate
Oh, and being able to play TF2 with more than 15 fps would be awesome, my lame fps makes div3 play much harder than it should be xD
