Question choices, choices
Hi there,
I'm sure you get loads of these, but i'd really appreciate your opinions.

I'm just about to buy a new Graphics card, I think I've narrowed it down to 2:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...odid=GX-071-OK - an 8800 GT

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showpr...-155-AS&tool=3 - an 9600 GT


They have about the same specs and exactly the same price.

What are your opinions on them?
If you can suggest any others that might interest me go ahead! But please keep in mind that and im on a budget, i don't really want to pay more than £120 (~$240).

Thanks!

either card would be a sound choice as they both play crysis in high settings. (tends to be the benchmark these days). however i believe the 8800gt is better for overclocking

The 8800GT tends to be a little faster then the 9600GT.

Here's a review of the 9600GT: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/...0-gt,1780.html
