Cheapo gfx card

[fozzybear]

As i want to get a new build up and running as fast as possible, i'm going to have to get a PCI-E card just to basically run my monitor whilst i save some cash for a decent card.

What am i best getting for around the £30 mark? Or will just about any card do? What about the 7300LE?

Well, basically you've answered your own question, just get the cheapest card that you can get to get your rig up and running.

Or you could get a 7300GT GDDR3 that would actually let you play games at decent fps, but that would involve doubling your budget (£58 inc vat).

In all honesty, if your just after a quick fix solution and not interested in price/performance at all, just get the cheapest you can find.

Yeah. It's only a short term thing for a month or two.

In that case i'll get the 64Mb XFX 6200LE for £22 to tide me by. I'm sure that'll still run Football Manager wouldn't it?

Yeah just get a 6200 for nearly 20 quid and then save up for a decent card

Yeah. I've just gone for the cheapest one. Cheers.

At least i'll now have a spare card on standby if a future card gets borked. Cheers.
