Graphics card

Can anyone suggest a cheap-ish graphics card that will play games at a fairly high quality but doesnt brun a hole in my pocket!!???? PLease

Thankyou

 

Burn rather not brun*

 

Depends what will burn a hole in your pocket.

I got a AT Radeon 9800 Pro 128MB for £99.95 (thats about 6 million dollars ) about six months ago, so they should have gotten a little cheaper. I really like the card - gets reasonable scores and the one I got (from HIS) came with an Arctic Cooling fan!

What sort of price you looking at?

Kiwi

 

Exactly what are your pockets made of

 

9800 Pro is a good deal. I have one it runs HL2 well.

Or if you're an Nvidia person, the 6600GT is good bang for buck.

 

With video cards you get what you pay for. I have an nvidia 5950 and its not a top of the line card but still decent and can probably be found pretty cheap. Might try newegg for the best prices.

 

NO NVIDIA NO NO NO!

To be fair just get the most expensive card you can afford with the company you prefer! I prefer ATI, but may have to abandon them soon, when I want to run two cards in tandom because ATI crossfire technology is a bit too "beta".

If you give us an idea of your price bracket Im sure people will chuck some names your way.

 

Thanks for all the comments. Well im a poor student so around 50/60 pushing it!! I know thats not a lot but its all iv got spare!

 

For that price your stuck with a Nivida 5200. Low end but I have one and do well with HL2/Doom and COD. Your options in that range are very limited.

 

I just purchased a radeon 9600xt from new egg for $95.00 delivered. It's oem.

 

Thanks! How about a Hightech ATI Radeon 9550 256MB??? I can get this for just under £40!?
