 Topic: What's Best Graphic card for £50Posted: 27 January 2010 at 4:54pm |

Time has come to treat my home PC again.
Not as much of a hardware geek as I used to be, so dont track all these on Anadtech/Toms Hardware like I used to. The case used to be Nvidia for performance and ATI for quality, not sure what the scenarios is now, but I'd prob choose Asus card + /ATI Radeon chipset over Nvidia for stability... So chaps what do you recommend, for mainstream home use, with some light QuakeLive/NFS/FarCry? Current card (ATI Radeon HD2600Pro) does 125 fps in QuakeLive @ 1280x1024, (on my 2.13ghz E6400 OC'd to 3.0ghz that is...  ) but will prob be upgrading to 21" monitor soon, and Intel Quad chip, so 200fps @ 1600x1200 would be nice. PS:Nope, not spending penny more over £50. Edited by levyte357 - 28 January 2010 at 5:44pm |

Can't help you then, never owned a desktop with PCIe
 But something like this is probably what I would go for at the price. http://www.dabs.com/products/asus-ati-radeon-4650-hd-512mb-pci-express-hdmi-6CZC.html?refs=43990000-51420000 Edited by kazakore - 27 January 2010 at 6:47pm |

Oops I got bitten... Will actually be Powercolor 4850 for around £75. http://www.dabs.com/products/best-value-powercolor-radeon-hd4850-1gb-ddr3-pci-e-hdmi-dvi-6JF3.html?q=4850 256 bit memory bus as opposed to 128 on 4670... Gotta be worth £20. |
