Hi guys, I have just had my 6800 GT die on me today well pretty sure its my gfx card, so i'm going to purchase a replacement, I dont do any gaming anymore, so really just need soemthing thatwill do dual outputs of 1680x1050 or whateverthat res is and 1360x768, whilst outputting hd quality media stuff and upscaling bits and bobs although obviously that is all cpu stuff.

So what would you guys recommend me for as cheap as possible.

Oh its got to be PCI-E.

Many Thanks

GeForce 8600GT SLI 512MB GDDR2 HDTV, VGA DVI/TVO PCI-E Graphics Card for just over 40quid sound alright? Will this do the job?

or Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3650 Pro 512MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI PCI-Express for just over 50? I dont really want to spend much more as I wont really use it with my lack of gaming nowadays.
 
Cheers for the replies guys went for a passively cooled 3450 Sapphire for 25quid. Just gotta get the catalyst drivers to work, first time i've ever had an ati card ha.
 
may i suggest you search for omega dirvers for your new card mate.
Theses are just modded drivers that work a lot better than the standard one mate.
 
yeah i had a look back as this sparked my curiosity. seems hes had a bad time this year. there is one for the 38*0 series which i was a little tempted to try out but im optimising the crap out of my system at the moment so going back and to with drivers isnt really something i want to do :)
