Well it's that time again and I want to upgrade my system to a be a little more spry than it is right now. It needs a new graphics card to replace the nVidia 7600 that's in it right now.
So far I've been looking at (and impressed by) the nVidia 8600GTS range which - being in the £120 / £160 price mark - are in the right price range for me.
But I've suddenly discovered that Radeon haven't been sitting idle recently and that the HD2600PRO range seems to be very good and about half the price.
However I've not been keeping up to date too well with how things are going, so I'm seeking advice here from people who may have. Does anyone know what the better choice would be to bring my system up to DX10 standard? If possible, I'd like it to be able to play games like Bioshock, Crysis, Call of Duty 4 and so on in pretty decent detail and at good speeds. I'm not asking for the whole works and will happily go without FSAA even these days, but my 7600 can't really cut it anymore.
Any thoughts?
