Hello!
Long story short, the fan on my old graphics card has failed causing my graphics card to overheat and crash. My current rig is very old and I'm about to start working after 8 years of Uni.
I need to replace my graphics card with a cheap stop-gap to last me until later in the year when I can purchase an entirely new rig.
(I'm aware that replacing the fan on the gfx card is an option but I'm not confident in doing this)
All I need it to do is run World of Warcraft until later in the year. I don't need it to move mountains with the power of it's processor.
I'm really hoping not to break the £50 mark on it.
I'm currently looking at the following graphics card:
xfx amd radeon 6670 hd 2gb pci-e
http://www.dabs.com/products/xfx-amd-radeon-6670-hd-2gb-pci-express-hdmi-8K0P.html
(apologies if that link did not work)
My current rig is as follows (promise not to laugh)
General Information
CPU - Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 CPU 6400 @ 2.13GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA965p (could not tell you any further other than system model = AWRDACPI)
RAM - 2GB DDR 2
Graphics Card NVIDIA GeForce 9500 GT
Power Supply - 700W
Operating System - Windows 7
Resolution - 1440x900
Other info as per moderator topic:
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: this week
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: As above, World of Warcraft, doesn't need to do anything special
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT, current PSU 700W
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: As above
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Anywhere deliverying to UK
PARTS PREFERENCES: None specific
OVERCLOCKING: Nope
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1440x900
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Doesn't need to be anything special
I'm grateful for any advice you can give me.
Thanks
