But at 1024X768 with relatively high detail should be fine?
Cheers

Yeah, most games should run ok with those settings. The closest card I've ever used was a radeon X600 and that ran COD2 at 1024x768 with most settings on high.

I can do 1024x768 and mid detail easily on my 6600 (non-gt) so you should be able to do much better with any of these.
Personally i would recommend the 7800 gs due to the 256bit memory architecture but if price is a concern then the 7600 gt should offer pretty much the same performance at the moment and is definitely better value for money considering.

Well,i just noticed that "Leadtek’s GeForce 7800 GS Uses 90nm Nvidia Chip".Obiviously,its better and implies its a 7900 chip!
Well,you wouldnt have problems in running games at high details and 7800 will perform much better than 7600 at higher resolutions.

Skip 7800gs. Go for the 7600GT or even much better a 7900GT both runs on PCIex16 bus. Be sure to have atleast a 450w power supply with 20a on 12v rail. You can play oblivion with a single 7600GT on medium with HDR enabled settings and 7900GT on High with just an average performance. Oblivion shines when you have 2 7900GT on SLI configuration.

Well my budget is around £100, so I've been scouring eBay, but no success yet. Is it worth just saving for ages and getting the 7900GTX OC 512Mb? They're like £400 though!!!
I want a PS3, so I'm just wondering whether I should jsut get a 7600 and be done with it....
Decisions desicions!!!

personally id go for the cheaper one mate, only because the price drop on graphics cards is so steep! i currently have a Geforce 6600GT which runs most games fine, will probably thnk about upgrading early next year (with vista on teh horizon etc....) also that leaves you with extra wonga for your PS3
