Best ATI Graphics Card?

[pingu]

I need to upgrade my graphics card because im still stuck with a Radeon 7200.

Ive got a pretty decent CPU, Athlon 2800+, but my computer still runs like a piece of shit on games.

Theres so many variations of 9800's etc, and the price ranges between £100, but what is the difference between all of them because I dont have a clue whatsoever. Which do u reckon is the best for your money, and whats the difference in the most expensive ones? Cheers.

9800 Pro is the best value for money at the moment.
You can overclock this one to XT speeds and not have to worry about the heat.
This one is also good.

A 9800SE is a piece of crap, it's a very bad crippled version of the 9800, total waste of money. The 9800 (non pro) isn't manufactured anymore, the only version that is is a 128-bit version by Sapphire and it's a waste. A 9800 pro is an extremely fast card, very, very good card and you can get them for only $195 (dunno what that is in pounds). A 9800xt costs a lot more than the 9800 pro, and is only a tiny bit better, barely noticeable.

Overclockers are usually overpriced, try http://www.cclcomputers.biz - they are nice and cheap.

X800pro isn't so pricey either
