Hey chaps, whats the current best graphics card on the market? Cost isn't a factor.

x800 from ati .. think its been released .. its the top end gfx card ... 300 + pounds

edit: There is a nvidia equivelent to the x800 the 6800 i think that cost slightly more than the ati with similar performance

tho more reasonable choice would be the ati 9800pro can get that for about 129 pounds if u shop around and will play any current released game with comfort.

Yeah they're good cards, but if you don't want to be that extravagant, the geforce fx 5950xt is generally a good bet - can get it as a 128mb or 256 mb graphics card, from about £180 to £300, and my current one, the geforce fx 5700 Ultra is extremely good.

I also have a radeon 9500 pro and I find it good, but a bit buggy in some areas (like the torch doesn't work in some parts of dungeons like DF and AC) - I don't know if thats fixed in later cards, but its what made me chose an Nvidia card over an ATI card this time around ;)

This is probably where I admit I'm not paying for it directly :D

Well if someone else is paying for it, get them to buy you this one for £1612 :D

Incidentally if they're fabulously rich can you persuade them to buy me a new comp too? ;)
