Cheap gpu upgrade

[deadman29]

So my friends 8800gt borked last night and wants a temp replacement. His budget is £40 tops and I think he plays at 1680 res. Is there anything that cheap that could run WoW for him with decent fps, or at least better than an 8800gt?

Cheers

second hand 5750 or 5770 is hes lucky

For £40 you won't be able to get anything new which is as fast or faster than a 8800GT.

Therefore I would strongly suggest either buying second-hand or raising the budget (and getting something like this).

As for which second hand card I would look out for one of these cards which often sell for ~£40 or less when second hand:

Nvidia

8800GT
8800GTX
8800GTS 512MB
9800GT
9800GTX(+)
GTS 250
GTX 260

ATI/AMD

HD 4770
HD 4850
HD 4870
HD 4890
HD 5750
HD 5770
