Hi Guys

I have a HIS X1800 GTO (XL modded), with the HIS ICE Q 3 Cooler.

My current gaming rig is out of commision (motherboard fucked), and I have sent it away under RMA.

Anyway I have a SLI motherboard, but have an ATi graphics card. What I really want to know is, what could I get for under £200 that would be better than my x1800XL. My MB is the lowly 16x pci, so 8800GTS in SLI is out of the question, not to mention the price.

I play a fair amount of Oblivion, COD2, COH, Quake 4 and am looking at getting Stalker, when I finally get my system up again.

Current Rig

DFI Infinity NF4 SLI MB
1GB Corsair Value Select Ram
3800+ X2 AMD Athlon (skt 939)
200 GB WD SATA
80 GB MAXTOR IDE
Windows XP home SP2
Windows Vista Ultimate
Creative Auigy 2 ZS Platnium eX

I have no need to play games at more that 1280x1024, as I only have a 17" TFT, and sinse I paid nearly £300 for it, I have no intention on upgrading (even if it is 3 years old!) any time soon!

1 8800gts is under £200 and beats your x1800xl handsdown

Um ATI+Nvidia NF4 can work ya know?

yea I know that, maybe i wasent that clear. What I meant was that with NF4 SLI i couldn't have a dual graphics card setup.

that would be a nice option, but then again it is towards the thick end of my budget. I assume you are talking about the 320mb modle

Edit: I have just checked the prices, and they come in over £200 inc VAT :S
