Simple the best money can buy at the moment.
You can buy an xbox360 with over £100 to spare instead.

My old faithful Dell had finally given up the ghost, became very slow card and just was not capable of even meeting the minimum requirements of newer games, let alone play them at a decent refresh rate. This card is powerful enough to run anything, nothing gets in it's way and I expect this to be the case for at least two more years. As the years pass games of course have to played at medium resolutions and then replaced. The only downside to this card is the price and heat produced by the fan, it's very noisy at warm up and can be annoying in a quiet room. With the sound on there isn't a problem. But other than that I highly recommend this card for those of you who love their online PC gaming.

I bought this card to replace my dual sli 7800gt's. I am simply an addict when it comes to First Person Shooters so it's a must I have a card that can handle them at the higher end of the specification rating. The card can run the likes of HL2 and CSS with it's little finger set at the high settings of 1024x768. I on my card I was not even able to run BF2 on medium settings of 1024x768, so it's a refreshing change to pump up the settings. I had no problems installing and operating this card, for those of you who haven't installed a card it's childs play. Simple matter of slotting the card into the pci slot on your motherboard and XP usually handles the rest. I also installed the latest video drivers available from the nvidia website. I also advise the use of a decent sound card to go alongside it, something like a Sound Blaster Audigy 2 minimum. You need to have the sound to match the visuals if you want an all round serious gaming setup.
