Hi, I was planning on getting a more uber graphics card, but ive just got an opportunity to got to australia, and Im spending most of my money on that, however, I still need to get myself a fairly decent graphics card, can you suggest the best one i can get for around £50?
tnx

$71 is about the same as £50

that does look like a good choice, however, do newegg ship to the uk?

What PSU are you running?

That one up there stinks, get this one:

Here is a video of it in action!
YouTube - nfs undercover Radeon HD 4650 512mb vram
and
YouTube - Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare on Diamond Radeon 4650 (HD)

Seems like a great buy

I assume you need PCI-e correct??

XFX is a good make, its a few extra pounds but it will be worth it

or

http://www.microdirect.co.uk/Home/Pr...DVI-TV-Out-Oem

They are all the same technology but just different brands, either will work fine and will be about the same.

See if you can stretch your budget a little for this one, 512Meg DDR3 is much better to have on a Video Card then 1Gig of DDR2 and the 4670 will out perform the 4650.
