Here are some PCI-E cards I've been looking at and was hoping I could get some answers as to the best out these three for performance but stability and possibly overclocking although not the priority at the moment.

Sapphire X800GTO 256mb GDDR3

Connect 3D X800GTO 256MB GDDR3

PowerColor X800 Bravo Edition 256mb

EDIT:

Also GeCube Radeon X800 GTO 256MB


Any other suggestions would be appreciated (within budget of the above cards).

Many thanks!

Oh I've already bought parts for a new build:
Athlon64 3200 (Winchester) with ThermalTake Silent Boost K8 HSF
Asrock 939 Dual SATA2
Geil 1gb (2x512mb) Dual channel RAM (2.5-6-3-3)
Enermax EG465AX-VE PSU
CM Cavalier 3 case

sapphire x800gto2(the one that is stock 12pipe)
is best since ti is stock, faster and is easily unlockable to a x850xtpe.

Thanks mwmorph but it's just the plain GTO not the GTO2. That would be out of my budget unfortunately (after spending on all the other parts!)

The Bravo edition has 1.6ns which can clock upto 600MHz. That is my pick of those three.

We might recommend you better cards if you specified what prices you are getting. (GTO2?)

Well, here in the UK the cheapest GTO is £115(~$200) which is my budget. Originally my budget was £100 (~$175).

The cheapest GTO2 is about £150 (~$265).

I would go with the Sapphire. Correct me if i'm wrong, but doesn't sapphire use the arctic cooling silencer that HiS uses on their cards. If so then it ups the anty. Highly recommended. :thumbsup:

Thanks Stretchman.
No this one has no silencer on it.

I've also found another X800Gto which seems to be quite good. Any ideas on the Gecube?
