Hi, Currently I have an Asus ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 and want a cheap upgrade. Mainly for a HDMI out so I can hook up my TV and also for a slight performance increase. I'm looking at cards around £25-£50, If anyone could give me a bit of advice it would be really appreciated. Cheers

if i was you with that budget id go for a second hand 5750/5750 then you get dx11 hdmi and should fall nicely in the middle of your budget expect to pay around 35-40 for a second hand 5750 on the bay. Since you could get access to the middlemarket here id go on a posting rampage to meet the requirements (not spamming). If you could sell yours off and get some extra cash http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-269-AS&tool=3 would be a good choice.

I would go for something a little more powerful than the 6850... the 4890 isn't too far behind.
I would opt for the HD6870 myself, but new they are £130ish and second hand they can be around £100.
You won't get anything that will out perform a 4890 for £50 for less. You will need a bit more money than that; I would say at least £80-£100!
