Budget video card

[hairyfeet]

Something in the £40-£100 price range

Simular to the asus gt430 in terms of noise output (always seemed to run quiet wether idle or load).. only example I could think of as I have fond memorys of the one I had ages ago.. for what its worth I was actually impressed how such a low power/cheap card could run stuff as well as it did

So quiet (ish) running

PSU may or may not be a limitation its pc power and cooling 400w modular, i intend to just sort out the video card and give the machine to somebody else to use for low-end gaming and day to day stuff

Rated at 55 W, and marketed as a quiet card.

2nd hand 6850/6870?

If Far Cry 3 is a game you want to play, this is a good card and deal.

Thank you for taking a moment to respond it is very much appreciated

I'm not eager on going the 2nd hand route.. and tongue in cheek I'm finding it difficult to grasp the prospect of people actually liking far cry 3

HIS HD 7750 looks tidy and well priced, going to sleep on it
Nvidia have anything simular to that available? just out of curiousity

Thanks again and enjoy the rest of your weekend

Looking to put an order in this week... I managed to look around on the site Sasahara's suggestion (icooler HIS HD 7750) seems as close to what I'm looking for as I'll get in terms of the noise levels/power consumption

I noticed overlockers have asus 6670 silent edition on discount this week (60 quid), did they ever stock the ddr5 revision here?
