Hey guys, Im looking to buy a new GFX card, I can't seem to find any decent deals (well, I can, but I keep wondering if there is something better im overlooking ). I don't want to spend anything more than £200 (I can go a little over..) and Im looking for a 256Mb x800 / 6800.. Anyone have a clue? LINK ME!

I would personally take Aopen's version of the 6800GT card, its the cheapest and performs well. http://www.hexus.net/content/reviews/review.php?dXJsX3Jldmlld19JRD04MTQmdXJsX3BhZ2U9MQ== "Why don't you zip it, Zipfero?" - fraich3

I was looking at: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=73368 I read that the XFX cards are easy to overclock to ULTRA speeds .. Where can you get a Aopen 6800?

Well it just sold out all over Denmark (With great frustration from my side) So I bought an Albatron instead, so its hard to tell where you can get one of them... and well nearly every GT card can achieve Ultra speeds though there are some which are better to do it, like the Point of View, Albatron, Asus and Aopen though testimonies claims that the Aopen version are the best for OC. btw nice looking box.

Mmm.. anyone heard of Inno3d ? They're cards are cheap as hell and dont look to put out any performance differences It also seems to have a TV tuner in it .. do they all have TV tuners?

What do you guys think based on performance, and overclocking potential?

I haven't looked up these cards so the following might all be bollocks but i think XFX are overclocked models anyway. I know with the 7800 they've got it up to 490 (from 430). If they're all from the same retailer though then It'd probably say go for the Asus because I reckon u'd be paying £10 for doom3 and whatever else it comes with.

I got the Inno3D 256MB 6800GT AGP card and it far exceeded my expectations! Ive had it for about 6 months now but it cost me £269.99! Seems to have come down in price a lot since then! :/ Still money well spent IMO!

I think Im going to go with the XFX card due to it being better for overclocking than the rest ! Thanks all! Let me know if you find any deals though !
