    Hello guys!

    To cut a short story even shorter I'm getting a new GFX Card ('cos mines pooey - Geforce 4 MX460, ouch!). I thought "Well, might as well get a top end beauty with all the new games like Half Life 2 and Doom3 coming out!" so I've found the one I want...

    http://www.google.dealtime.co.uk/xPC-ATI_R..._9800_PRO_128MB

    Quite a decent card I'm told at quite a competitive price.

    My question is: Does anyone know where I can get this card for cheaper? (I'm a pauper). Or know a cheaper version of it that does exactly the same thing?

    I'd really appreciate any help you can give me guys . Because tbh, £130 quid is a hell of a lot of money to me!

    Many thanks for any responses :D .

    Quite a controversy there; cheaper versions are always cheap because they offer less processing-power. I'm pretty sure that even your current AGP-card will be enough to run HL2 (Doom 3 will require a brand new *machine* :shake: ).

    So you ended up 100% sure to ATI? As good choise as any, but don't let them offer you those "cheap-but-as-good" models ;)
