Spec me a low priced pci-e but not rubbish :P

[Snaggle]

Looking for a decent pci-e card for a new build. Its gonna be 70% windows with some light gaming . I dont know much about the bottem end of the market as a lot of stuff is rebranded/named cards of previous high end cards .

I guess in looking for summit similia to the performance of a 8800gt ish . I had a scour of ocuk but seem to have a real lack of stock of £50ish cards .

4670 or bite the bullet and get a 4850

have a look in MM tbh

For that kind of money you will have a hard time getting a brand new card with performance around the 8800GT.

This and this are as cheap as you can get with that kind of performance.

However, if you are willing to go second hand, you can get that performance (or better) for £50 or less. Look out for:

Nvidia:
8800 GT/GTX/GTS(512MB)
9800 GT/GTX(+)
GTS 250

ATI:
4770
4850
4870 (if you're lucky)

Ok maybe i was asking abit much for a card that matches a 8800 Im running a 4870 atm which is fine for my needs .. I dont need uber graphics .. Maybe sims/wow older games . I dont need all the toys at silly ress (1440x900) .

Does that help ?

4670 is approximately equal to a 3850 512MB and about your best bet for that price unless you go 2nd hand.

Well, the 9600 GT should be around your price range and is faster than the 4670, (though slower than the 8800 GT) so I would get that instead.

Wait a minute, you're running a 4870 at the minute? What's the problem?

 

[Snaggle]

New build and not for me . As i said above 70% windows 30% games (or less)

Maybe he wants to get something less powerful because he doesnt need the power...

or he is building a new HTPC?
