WHICH CARD IS FASTEST?

[pkw4]

Hi all, im trying to find out which of these 3 cards is the fastest,, GF 8800GS 384MB,,,GF 9600GT 512MB,,HD 2900XT 512MB
i currently have the 88gs and 2900xt but cant compare until i get a psu capable to power the 2900
All posts apreciated/ indepth advice

They are all more or less the same, though if you want to go in to details
2900XT>9600GT>8800GS
but the difference is with 10%..

any idea what psu i would need to get the hd 2900 going, thought my 500w would have done it but it didnt like full load and drops the clock speeds. im on a tight budget, roughly £50 to spare on a psu.

It is not worth the extra money on a new PSU just to be able to run the 2900XT over the other two cards.

it would as my current psu is a cheap, my 88gs is prob pushing it to its limit..a new psu would also help future proof my pc

It is hard to find a quality unit for £50 in 500watt or more. This is the best I can do http://www.ebuyer.com/product/120377

That psu is pretty good for the price, it doesnt state the ampage on the rails but a reviewer posted it can run a hd 4870 fine.Thx for finding this, especially form ebuyer
