Well, I'm from the UK, so no $$$, all £££. But, the price difference between the GTO and XT in England is £45, which is $83...
And he can't make that sorta sacrifice, as he's already added a bit more £££ to his current budget to get the latest CrossFire motherboard, the RD580 chipset.
So...
Alright, now my systems done.
Now my friend since got his system fried, so he's getting a complete new setup. So he's wondering, which card is best? The nVidia GeForce 7600GT 256MB PCI-E, or the ATI Sapphire Radeon X1800GTO 256MB PCI-E?
I've also helped him research benchmarks and reviews...
