Cheap Graphics Card

[Dreamcaster]

Hi all,

Selling my current graphics card as i plan to get a 8600. I just need a very cheap one to see me through till their release.

Don't really want to pay more than £20. Recommendations?

If you just want the absolute bottom of the barrel that will "play" (ie. in stupidly low res and detail) games for a very short while then an X600Pro is a good bet. I use mine to tide me over between RMAs.

Has no problems with games like Battlefield 2 in low res and detail.

Go second hand - £20 won't really buy anything new. For that money, literally anything that works and is PCI-E . I doubt at that budget you'll get much good 3d performance in modern games.

yeah, games dont matter at all. Just want something that will run windows ok till the 8600's come out

Then basically anything that has a PCI-E connector will do.

The cheapest card on OCUK is this at £29

Otherwise take a look 2nd hand for something.

In that case I'd definitely suggest the X600Pro, or even X300SE.
