Reccomend me a gfx card

[m0o0oeh]

Hi guys,

I'm potentially after a new PCIE gfx card. Mine seems to have died the death, but I'm taking it to my mate's house tonight to test it.

So, in case it has bought it, I'm looking at graphics cards. Preferably something in the region of £50 - I appreciate its a low budget, but I need to keep some reddies for when my new rig arrives, and this will be going in there.

My current system is Athlon 64 3500, my new rig is going to be a intel quad core, so I need something that will work with both systems. I don't have any particular brand loyalty, so ATI or NVidia, I really don't mind. Oh, and I'm not averse to 2nd hand. Unfortunately I haven't been on here long enough to get into the Sale thread, so I don't know if there's any decent offers going round on here.

Got to be good for a bit of casual lan-gaming, and graphics work, but other than that I really don't mind.

Thanks in advance guys

Just get on ebay and see if you can get an 8800gt dude, then when your new rig turns up you can use it for a dedicated folding rig!

Ah, the athlon is going to be a game server/NAS device, and seen how I don't have internet at my place, I can't use it for F@H...

But yeah, I've checked ebay, just going to have another scout

Any other recommendations for a budget gfx card?

Not toooo badly priced!

Indeed they don't, however I have just discovered that my graphics card lives! But possibly my mobo is on its way out - so i'm not going to bother replacing it tbh.

Thanks all for your advice
