Graphics wanting a graphic card,no i dear what !

after been told yesterday that a xbox pad could be used with a pc for gaming i've decided to get a graphic card.
I built my first pc 18 months ago
the spec is
windows 7 64but
4gb ram
Amd Athlon II x 4 630 processor
ATI radeon hd 3200 motherboard

I have my it attached to my vga monitor and my lcd tv

what graphic card will you advise to get ?? no more then £100.

thanks

 

Please list what inputs ur monitor & TV have

 

No more than £100? Considering everything else in there; You'd probably have good luck picking up a GTS450 for £70. Better bargains might be lurking about, but this is a reliable little card. If a touch dated now. You could also hunt around for GTX 460's, although those are getting into a short supply now, and are a touch over your budget at around £120-130

 

the asus monitor has d-sub only and pamasonic lcd has 2 hdmi,component and D Sub.

thanks

Don't expect to be maxing games with that kind of set-up but it will still look much better than an Xbox.

However do you know what kind of power supply you have?

 

Agree that it should be a 6770 HD card.
Mind spending £2-3 over the budget?

my power is Silver Power SP-SS500 500W

 

With such a low budget (for a graphics card which is probably the most important thing for gaming), you should maybe consider trying to pick up a bargain second hand.

No idea what things go for but is it possible to pick up a 5870 for £100 these days? Might be worth looking into...

 

It's a shame you can't go higher than £100, scan have a nice superclocked GTX460 in the today only section for £113. That would be your best bet.

 

What games you wanna play?

 

Was looking at that myself, not sure if worth it over a 4870HD 512mb - Considering I want to upgrade after xmas sometime.

 

May as well wait another couple of months, then in theory a new generation of GPU should appear.

 

Indeed.

Would definitely recommend it to this guy though, judging by reviews it beats the 5770 by
a fair bit and that was better than my 4870 512MB.

 

Presuming you guys are talking about the 460 I mentioned, if so I ought to put a link up for it.

EVGA 460

Gotta look in this section for the reduced twice

 

Thats a good deal! Saw that and was thinking about buying for sons new PC. Might try get a 560Ti though..not sure. Good value on the 460 though!

 

For £228 two of those in SLI is a lot of performance for the money!

Although dependent on SLI profiles for the games you play of course.
