OK, I've read the previous threads on this qiestion of which one to get, and I've been given a distinct impression that ATI is the way to go.
However, everyone is talking about the Radeon 9800, which costs an absolute fortune. I'm working on a very limited budget here for upgrading, and I'm really not sure what to do.
I've got a 64Mb GeForce2 GTS that is perfectly happy, and can come over to the new machine if there isn't any point in buying a budget card. So, working on a budget of ?60 or so, is the 'ATI only' advice still the case? I know that the GeForce 5200 gets a lot of stick, but is it really so bad for its monumentally cheap price, when it seems to at least actually get me a DX9 part?
