Im buying a gpu for my gf's birthday, as she has strong intentions studying art at university, I thought a gpu would help her with render times as she builds her portfolio and also because she wants to start pc gaming.
I have a budget of about £150-£200 and am aware of the cuda acceleration in Nvidia cards but also with the newish performance boost provided by open GL for AMD cards.
So really, what gpu would you recommend (if you post links to websites with prices just remember - UK, im not going to pay for shipping unless its amazingly cheaper)
oh and please say why you recommend it, e.g. at this price cuda or open GL is much faster in card X or for gaming card X is much better, so no fan-boying please
