I'm currently using a 8600 GT, and I'm thinking of upgrading.

I'm looking to spend no more than $250, what's the best variety of 8800? (I guess that's what people will suggest)

EVGA/XFX 8800GT 512MB is only $250. Go for it.

8800GT.

But take a look on Newwgg, they've actually had a G92 GTS for under $250.

The idea of any hi-fi system is to reproduce the source material as faithfully as possible, and to deliberately add distortion to everything you hear (due to amplifier deficiencies) because it sounds 'nice' is simply not high fidelity. If that is what you want to hear then there is no problem with that, but by adding so much additional material (by way of harmonics and intermodulation) you have a tailored sound system, not a hi-fi. - Rod Elliot, ESP

The EVGA 8800GTS G92 is only 300 after rebates, and you get a free Crysis.

Go for the EVGA 8800 GT, no doubt. Seriously. Best customer service ever + step up program.

In Australia.

I have a decent computer store close though...I'll post what they have, and I might be able to extend my price range.

They're the cheapest in Adelaide and I don't feel like buying off of ebay.

lol MSY

I bought my Asus 8800GTS 320MB from there and it popped the first night i used it

I took it back and got a refund - they tested, no questions asked.

Also MSY's service is absolutely CRAP - That's why their things are cheap.

Just get an 8800GT, like Sparkle

btw Hakei, i played with you the other day, how 4 Star with only like 122K points?
