I want advice on upgrading my graphics card

Might help if we knew the rest of your system specifications (CPU/Motherboard/Power Supply/RAM). Additionally, how much are you willing to spend?

I am running Win7 64bit, Athlon dual core 6000+ on Abit KN9 sli, 4gb ddrII with 750w PSU. I recently upgraded my 19" monitor to a full HD 23". Going from 1440x900 to 1080p seems to be taking its toll.

AMD 6850 or Nvidia GTX 460 should be good if thats what you want to spend.

And how much are you willing to spend on upgrading the card?

I am far from being a hardcore PC gamer anymore but still like to have a blast on SCII, Dirt3, Mass Effect etc. Just want advice on next major step from 8800 sub £120

For £5 more here is a 6870 with a free game http://www.aria.co.uk/Products/Components/Graphics+Card... Otherwise the 6850 or GTX 460 are what I recommend.

Your CPU will be bottlenecking any mid-range cards like the GTX460 or 6850.

I would reccomend upgrading your CPU before upgrading you GPU.

For roughly $180 U.S.(120euors) you can buy a new mobo and CPU.With just a CPU upgrade you should see a increase in FPS.Espically for games like SC2 and Dirt 3.
