Hmm, did you just read the ubi forums? :D because the same card was suggested there as well :)

6600gt, tho I was thinking more of the line of the 9800 pro if it's still available. my friend still uses the 9700 pro and it remains a better and amazing card than what I have (geforce 4 ti 4200 - the worst of the ti series, but also the cheapest - and although it has 128 mb, the 64 version is faster - go figure: never an msi again)

lol guess what I have :D
(Ti4200... dunno on the mem)
I'm thinking of going upto the 6800 looking around you can get it for about £20 more :?
...Havent seen that thread, I'll go have a look :)

You might want to hold of for a while if your going for a G 6 card as the effect of the new G 7 cards will begin to bring them down a bit in price.
At present you can pick up a 6800gt for about £150 on Ebay,and 6600 for around £80 to £100,providing you dont mind the risks etc.

Spits check out Dabs.

ATI 9800 pro with 128mb at around £80/£90. You can't do better than that.

IMHO.

I have the ATI 9800 w/128 M

I see no reason to change that until I get closer to BoB

an excellent, cheap card.

Still using...

the GF 4--- range doesnt cover it otherwise as you say great card!
Not sure on the mem tho :)

plus they have shader 3.0 for nice PF water :p
