What did you end up doing? 9600GT seems to be the obvious choice now for £113.

Why not post some details of the problem youre having, perhaps with some screenies and then we could have a go at fixing your problem and saving you a few hundred quid...?

IF YOUR 8800 GTS 320GB CARD IS WORKING WHY DONT YOU JUST OVERCLOCK IT  I THINK THE 8800 WOULD BE FASTER OVERCLOCKED  :w00t:

3870 is slightly faster than a 8800GTS, and about £80 cheaper.  That would suggest avoiding the GTS unless you really MUST have an nVidia card.

i ended up with the triplex hd3870 xt , a cheapo make which is smaller than the stock 3870s . i sold my 8800gts 320 on the bay for £90 , so all this card cost me is £20 odd quid and it works great but will not overclock :(
