Best £160 graphics card

[mjones1]

I am looking for a graphics card that will play all modern games at a good fps.
I have a 32" panasonic HD tv to play on.

Second hand 4870 would be your best bet I'd assume. That said, if the TV isn't 1080P then you'd easily get away with a 4850.

Should i get a 4850 1gb model or 512mb ? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...MI (PCI-Express) - Retail (90-C1CL55-L0UAY00Z) vs. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showp...MI (PCI-Express) - Retail (90-C1CLC0-J0UAY00Z)
Or can u recommend me any other cards?

You can get a sapphire 4870 512mb for £159 if you search about. google it

I found one for £130 with free shipping but i don't think i can trust the site.

4870 if u can stretch, 260 is avaliable from 180 + vat here I think if u want nvidia

4870 512mb if you can get one for your budget and if your Lcd tv is normal res,ie 720p.

Yeah it is 720p, can you all post links instead of me having to search for pages and pages

 

[rolypolyman]

Can't post links to rival sites, against the rules.

Anyway, to answer your initial question, a 4850 would be adequate for 720p. Possibly look at ones with better coolers attatched as the reference one can get a bit toasty.

At 720p, a 512Mb 4850 will be fine. I have this one

which now comes with the glaciator heatsink. Runs very cool and quiet

Saphire 4870 1mb available around for 169! google it

1mb is just a slight bottleneck
