graphics card recommendations

I don't know the UK rates on computer components, so this will probably go over your £100 limit, but I'd recommend an nVidia 8800GT. In terms of performance/cost ratio, it's as good as you can get right now. It costs less than the 8800GTS and gives nearly as good performance as the 8800GTX. I haven't had an ATI card since my 9800 Pro, so I don't know their equivalents currently.

As Quillan stated, I'm not sure on the cost in the UK but the Nvidia 7950GT is a great card for the money. Yes the 8800 is a better card but your price range might exclude that.

If you're going to go the 7900 Series root, you're better off getting a 7900GTX. not much more expensive if you look around and it's faster than the 7950GT.

Question: what is rubbish in frames per second? An nVidia 7600 GT will get you 20-35 fps and can be had in your price range. Anything above that will do even better.

the 9600GT is about 50 bucks cheaper than the 8800, though in some tests its not as good, there are others that actually say its better, even though I have the card I think the 8800 is a better card.. What does that mean? nothing, I play Crysis maxed out graphics and its still smooth as hell
