I can recommend computer orbit, they have a wide range of products and I use them for both work and personal use, here is a card that I install on some of the CAD machines at work http://www.computerorbit.co.uk/Itemdesc.html?ic=1GBPCX8500GTXFX&eq=&Tp= this will cost you around £60 inc VAT.Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.0

with all due respect the 8500GT is miles away from what the 880GT can do. For another £40 it is worth going for the 8800GT from Overclockers. Amazing price, truely.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0

From experience, the 8500 range are not really geared up for serious gaming. The 8600 range would be better, but as has already been said, for the sake of 40 notes, it's one hell of a difference speed wise from the 8500 to the 8800.0
