New Graphics Card

[clintwestmetal]

I might be looking for a new graphics card in the near future.

I currently have an 8800GTS 320mb, what would be the best upgrade for up to £150?

My motherboard is an Asus P5K.

The best performing card within your budget is 4870, $215 after mail in rebate.

Or 9800gx2 for far higher performance, for $220, if you don't mind refurbished.

Those are US prices at current exchange rate though, UK prices may be different.

Having looked around I think I'll get a 4870 when there's a sale/price drop/I save some money.

How long is the card compared to an 8800GTS?

Should it fit in my Antec 900 case alright?

G92 8800gts is 9.5 in, 4870 is 8.5 in. Not sure about g80 8800gts.

Well 8.5 is definitely shorter than the card I have, cheers.
