Cheap Temp Graphics Card

[RWise]

My Radeon HD2900XT has just died on me but I want to wait for the new graphics cards that are due out in the next few months. What is the cheapest graphics card around at the moment that I can use to play GTA IV/Prince of Persia on (albeit at low settings) until the new cards are available when I will upgrade to a top of the line card.

Thanks

Going second hand would be best then, what's your budget?

What kind of budget are we talking about? I mean, the 4650 is pretty cheap, fairly fast but bandwidth limited (good for low resolutions though, unless you can find a GDDR3 model, that'd be almost as fast as your 2900 XT). You might be able to get an 8800 GTS 320MB or similar for very little money if you look around.

Budget wise I am probably looking at sub £50, I want to spend as little as I can now so I can spend more later.

Would the Radeon 3450 512MB card be useable

Not really if you want to game. The 4650 is available sub £50 though.
