So I've been thinking about upgrading from my x800GT. I've been wanting to for a while, and I actually have the money :O

I had a look on overclockers.co.uk, and it's all rather confusing. For example, the connect3d x1800xt is the same price as the sapphire x1900gt and looking at the description it's hard to tell which one is actually better (at least, for the uneducated :P)

£150ish is my budget i'd say, pci-e, and I've no preference to either ati or nvidia..

cheers :)

edit: i put this in the right section, I swear D:

The X1900GT from sapphire is a gruesomely good deal.

Soo.. you think I should go for the "Sapphire ATI Radeon X1900 GT 256MB"?

£135... sounds alright

X1900GT for sure, but here in Sweden you can now get an X1900XT for the same price as GT :>

I like my X1900GT. Works great in all the games I play. :D
They have dropped a lot in price since I got mine.
