[welsh_andy]

is there any point spending a wad of cash on new gpu when max res is 1366 x 768, tell u y m8 of mine asked me 2day, he like a lot of ppl i know play pc games through their lcd tv, but max res is 1366 x 768, he dont mind spending upto £200, but i thought it pretty pointless at that res, but i could be wrong

any ideas

Ready depends on what his current graphics card is, maybe you can get some more info?

 

[coupe69]

More info required, what has he currently got? what are his expectations? Also just a friendly heads up, lazy text is not tolerated round these parts

I would wholeheartedly recommend a graphics card (dunno which one) to improve his gameplay experience

Lazy text means text speak such as m8, u, y etc. etc.

You're not limited by letters here so feel free to use them all

On topic: still would need more info - what games is he playing being a big one.

well it really depends on how he is faring at the moment. i mean even though the resolution is low, if he were e.g to buy a gtx 580 yeah it would be major overkill, but the card would probably last him 2-3 years and still be maxing games

Welcome to the internet. Asking for technical advice with vague details will get you nowhere fast on most forums.

And yes, he needs a better GPU. What's his budget?

These are pretty damn good for £80.

As are these for just over a ton

Make sure you get cards ith plenty of VRAM - he'll need it at such a high res

If his PSU is up for it, the 6850 seems the best
