Very quick question??

[NiCkNaMe]

I've currently got a 8800 GS that has just given up the ghost.

I only use my machine for basic work but have been using it for to play Fifa 11 quite regularly recently. The 8800 handles it find and is ample for what I want from the game.

Can someone quickly recommend an equivalent card that I can go to buy? Got muchos work to be getting on with and RDP'ing to my box is a killer on my netbook

PS - no more than 60 notes if possible?

members market I want to go there.

I wouldn't know but yeah that is a good place to search for a second hand card.

However if you want a new card i'd suggest this if you want to buy from OCUK:

Need it today unfourtunatly - so got to pop to the shop.

Is the 5670 going to be on par or better than the 8800 then? Anything cheaper?

If its for today i think this is the best you will get for your money new.

Its a good bit faster than a 8800gs. Its also a good bit faster than a 5670.

Is it faster than the 5670 posted above?

Is it faster than the 5670 posted above?

yes that's about the fastest you will get for £60 but it does need 2 6 pin power connectors which if you don't have I would recommend

which is still faster than your 8800gs and similar to a 5670

Yes it is

Wicked thanks will go with the 9800GT, £10 cheaper and will fit! Only have the 1 6 pin power connector. Thanks for saving me

Also thanks for the advice all.

Watch out for the warranty on that card

Picked the 9800GT up this afternoon, plays Fifa fine (phew! ) and thank god I don't have to do a load of dev work RDP'd from my laptop!

Why do things like this always happen when you have a massive amount of work to do!

Good to hear mate just lose a few games to rage quit and then you can do some work.
