W4RP3D Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 So im buying a new computer, i have everything ready to order apart from the graphics card, i relies that in a few months or so more DirectX 10 cards will start appearing and therefore the prices of DirectX 9 cards will drop. But untill that happens I still want to be able to play games at a descent, playable frame rate, they dont have to be on high setting minium will do. So which graphics card do you guys recommend? (sub £100 about $160) Thanks w4rp3d Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaKo Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 My AGPx8 NV 6200 with 256mb still does everything fine and cost £40 new... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 My 5200FX was 40 quid new I think, that'd be fine for me, 'cept someone gave me a 9250 for nothing so I figured I'd use it, it's better than the card I paid 40 quid for and someone was giving it away... amazing, isn't it?

metatron Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 I’m running two 256MB ASUS 7600GT (HDMI and SPDIF) in my media PC and there quite cheap and can be hooked to your HDTV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobotChild Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Always try to find stuff cheap as free. I picked up a FX5700 Ultra for the cost of shipping from [H]ardForum. You could probably find a 7600GT somewhere for that price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoR_Wraith Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Geforce-5 cards have aged very badly, so avoid them if you want to play any games made in the past year. You can get a GeForce 6800LE for about £60-£70 (which you can then unlock and overclock), or a GeForce 7600GT if you've got PCI-E. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ABC Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 go for the fala1ty 7600GT £5 over budget but the fastest 7600 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(DFI nForce 4 ultra, A64 3500+, and 1gb of kingston value ram for 150$) The 5700 can't really play any of my games I play. (But I have been getting back into CS 1.6 cause of it) :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meretrix Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 i got a 7900GT and it does the job just fine. Same here :P EVGA one. Kick @$$ card. Plays every game with maxed out options and still has awesome FPS. NVIDIA FTW. Other than that... I agree with neochivers, 7600GT. Best bang for the buck. I want to see how the new ATI's are going to be now, though, since AMD bought them. :? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ABC Posted January 17, 2007 Share Posted January 17, 2007 well there plan is to intergrate GFX onto the CPU like they did with the memory controllers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
