Cheap decent graphics card

[jjfern]

Can someone give some advice for a cheap but decent PCI-e graphics card around £50. I will not be playing the latest games just some older ones like battlefield 2 etc. but not at the max settings.

THIS

OcUK GF7300GT GDDR3

 

[sirheck]

a 6800 or x800 will play bf2 with max settings pretty good
not sure about their price and avialabilty where you are

the 76gt would be your best choice but not sure about its price
in your area? its around 125 to 150us$

He's in the UK, and his budget is 50 british pounds. I found that 7300GT GDDR3 for 50 pounds, which is a great deal.

i figured he was in the uk
isnt 50 pounds close to 100us$

Yea, although low-end, pretty good for £50.

7300GT GDDR2 is crap; however the GDDR3 version is quite good; comparable, in fact, to a 7600GS.

EDIT: Prozac: How do you do the pound sign?

I found this one at yo-yo's but it's GDDR2 not GDDR3 but it's within your budget http://www.yoyotech.co.uk/product_i...=1693&osCsid=f570ad44f6254c48837d7b3d373d1653

I bought a Geforce 6800xt PCIE for about $100 after a rebate and I find it a great card. Personally I am waiting for DX10 to come out... so this was a stop-gap purchase and I haven't been unhappy with it. You should be able to find something like this for 50 pounds. make sure you get 256Mb of GDDR3 and the 256bit memory bus, there are so many versions to choose from.

It should suit you down to the ground.

For the pound sign hold down the Alt key and type on the number key pad to the right and hit 0163 then when you release the the Alt key the pound sign appears. £ Ta da! £

Don't use the numbers above you have to use the keypad on the right hand side of your computer. Have a question just google it!

Regarding the question the 6600GT 7600 GT or GS, a X800GTO are great cards.

 

[Mousemonkey]

Is it not shift + 3 on your keyboards over there in the colonies? :lol:

 

[david_uk]

it is

Dude I'm quite happy with my 7900GT thank you very much, a 6800xt seems a bit of a downgrade. :roll:

 

[GavinLeigh]

In the US keyboard layout shift+3 is #.... which oddly enough some people call the "pound" sign.... whereas I know it as the "hash" key.

Aren't we getting off topic ?

 

[GavinLeigh]

I meant to reply to the orignal question... not to you directly Mousemonkey. But isn't a 7300 going to be a dog with a 64bit memory interface ?

 

[Mousemonkey]

it is

:? Errr what is?? :?

 

[caamsa]

Errrr this is the pound symbol for weight # and this is a hash key when used on your phone.

The pound symbol for currency is £


Get da X800GTO it is cheap and fast. Errrr fast and cheap.....

No drama's mate, I'm just six beers into the night here :lol: , but a 7300 with GDDR3 should jog on alright not lightspeed maybe but not too shabby.

7300GT GDDR3 > Any 6800XT

6800XT is a hated card on these forums.

[ikjadoon]

Ouch! That price hurts. I don't think we can compare our prices with theirs...

Is that £50 including VAT or not?

7300GT isn't bad....I say go for a X1300XT. It should suit you perfectly. It equals around a X800XL. OC's pretty well,too.

Do try to get the pre-OC'ed versions and the GDDR3 version as well.
