Need new graphics card NOW!!!!!!!!!!
My old nividia 6800gt built by that pathetic budget manufacturer 'inno3d' has died...only lasted a year ffs.
Now i have my old voodoo 5500 holding the fort
until i can order a new one.
I dont want to spend a bomb as new technology becomes old technology so quickly nowadays so its pointless futureproofing.
I play a lot of online games so it must hold up to world of warcraft etc...
I have been reading about various models which are reasonably priced between 70-110 pounds sterling.
the ati x1600 pro 512mb
the ati x850 pro 256mb
the Geforce 7600gs 512mb
any geeks out there that know the best graphics card bargain
BTW i have AGP
Lord Shrek....will the voodoo be able to cope with all my ****??

yeh seen the xfx cards and they look good
why the *** did mesh computers not give me pci-express as opposed to agp
p1sses me off now...the pc is only about 15 months old....agp cards seem more expensive and less range now....grrrr
would it be cheaper to buy a new motherboard in the long run?

well tbh YES! i would go for a good pci-express mobo and maybe you will get a good mobo/video card deal....
otherwise you are just investing in old technology.. (what you know already i know but worth pointing out!)..

Voodo 5500, make sure you up the direct debit to Powergen to keep it powered !
That was the first and last time I ever spent £250 on a graphics card, you feel kind of flush when you get a 17 grand share dividend and then regret it when its all gone !
