Hello all. I've been running an X1300 for a while now (I know) and it's definitely time for an upgrade. I've been saving money for an 8800 GTS SC, what for the major kickassedness and all, but recently I've decided not to push my budget all that hard. (The overall upgrade included a new 24" monitor, which I am going to do without.)
The monitor I have now has a native res of 1024x768; this being the case, I don't think I'll be needing all the muscle of the 8800 series, simply because, well, the lower resolution doesn't seem like it would want or need the help. So, my question to you all is... what graphics cards would you recommend?
Rig is as follows:
Asus P5B mobo
C2D 2.13 OC to 2.33
X1300 Graphics
3 GB PNY RAM
Windows XP Prof SP2
580W PSU
80 GB HD/ 320 GB HD for storage
