Hey guys

My system needs new graphics. I have the XfX 750SLi motherboard running a Q6600 with 4Gb of RAM. I wanna upgrade my graphics and have the option of either one nice GPU or 2 run in SLi. I don't even wanna hear anyone mention Radeon cards, it's Nvidia all the way for me boys! Any suggestions? Ideally I don't wanna spend any more than £150 in total. Advice please

ATi HD series! More power for your bucks - simple.

(Never mentioned Radeon :P )

sorry Doggy but i have to agree with gav here, at the moment ATI make the best GPU's, i was a Nvidia man all the way till i had to change my GPU in order to get the latest games to run on this old rig, and i was on a £150 budget also. after a bit of reserch i found the best card on the market for £150 is one of these:

and thats the card i am running now, no issues at all and its got a fair bit of grunt as i can run games maxed out ! Whoot ! aa)

I upgraded my vid card recently, was waiting to see what nvidia's new fermi cards were like. Went for a radeon 5870 in the end as fermi runs too hot and sucks a hell of a lot of juice. Radeons are definately best value at the moment unless money is no object for you (not just the card cost, but your power bills too)

lol Doggy....your Nvidia enthusiasm just got cornholed =P

Have to agree with everyone else in all seriousness. Best bang for buck is without a doubt in the Radeon range. As much as I like Nvidia too...I just can't warrant spending those kind of prices on such a meager upgrade when looking at the ATI chip alternatives.
