Replacement card for my dead 8500GT
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Hi all, ![:hello:]( ":hello:")
First post after many days of searching and coming up with no answer!
As the title says, my card has came to the end of it's life...i'm now faced with a dilemma on what to replace it with.
After days of searching and reading etc i'm more confused than ever on what i can buy so i thought i should ask for some help before a make a costly mistake!![:??:]( ":??:")
My power supply is 300w which i have gathered is a big factor on what i can get, replacing my psu is really not an option at the moment.
My pc is mainly used for gaming (left4dead 2, GTA etc) so i would like something that could run those, my 8500gt seemed to do the job pretty well as far i could tell.
My budget would be preferably under £100 (UK) but im open to suggestions for anything slighty over.
I am considering just replacing it with another 8500gt but im wondering if there is anything out there thats could be better?
Any more info you need on my setup etc i will do my best to answer.
Thanks![:)]( ":)")

I could move it up a slot but i don't think it would fit due to there being a PCI slot in the way of it.
Here is a link to my motherboard, will probably mean more to you than me!![;)]( ";)")

With that in the lower slot there should be enough room for a double slot card but it might be a bit close.Yes i think it would be but it's still a good suggestion and i wil be keeping my eye on it, ty.
