 £134.95 inc vat + free delivery Thinking about buying this, is it best I can get for the money at the moment? Seems a decent price. Currently got a stock 6800 so hopefully an improvement.  Don't want really want to spend a lot more, at least I can play COD4 once I get it. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/134944The only reason I'm not sure is because the 9600GT is out as well... is that better, worse or the same   _________________

I am tempted though.. its £199 at Ebuyer. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/138869 Asrock 775Dual-vsta http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=775Dual-vstaProbably right.. Quoted from somewhere I forgot - 'what do we think about the 8800 GTS 512 as an overall buy? It's around 10 - 15% faster than the 8800 GT, with a 16% higher price tag (at least). Honestly, in our opinion, GTS 512 just isn't worth the price premium over the 8800 GT 512MB. There's significantly more shader processing power but with barely any more memory bandwidth, this isn't a card that's really any more suited for high resolution/AA performance than the 8800 GT.' _________________
