GPU for around £60

Didzi · 16 Sep 2011 at 13:03

My current GPU is failing and I am looking to purchase a new one with similar or better spec for approx £60.
I don't mind either AMD or nVidia. Can someone recommend me a card please?

Current Spec:
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155
BFG 8800GTS 512
Asus P8P67 Pro (rev B3)
4GB Corsair XMS3 DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz
24" Dell UltraSharp 2407 Monitor

try flea bay for a gtx260 or 280 second hand,

or a radeon 4xxx series, you'll be lucky to get a DX11 card i'd say. The aforementioned cards should effectively double what you're currently running:

An AMD 6670 OR 5750 will offer the best new performance for ~£60. The 5750 in particular will play all games at 1920x1080 resolution, but settings will need to be turned down to medium for modern games.

for 60p ound i dont think you will get a decent card that will play most games at that price.

Didzi · 16 Sep 2011 at 14:51

Thanks for the help guys, much appreciated.

(apart from the idiot remark

)
I think I shall push the boat out as suggested and spend about £100

Shameless self pimpage, but I've got a 5770 for sale in the MM. £60 would do it to your door, with Accelero L2Pro cooler and RAM sinks. Original cooler, boxed, cuddly toy.*

*may not be true

I got a second hand gtx280 recently for £60 from the flea

No he's not! His budget is only £60, so his expectation of a new card around that price range is quite realistic.

definately an ebay job, geforce 200 series.

watch none of the dons see this , your not allowed to list competitors by name or link them

If you want something new then i would recommend something like this

Also overclockers dont seem to stock them any more but i had a 5570 and it preformed well beyond my expectations, it ran the crysis demo at about 30 fps on medium settings and for that price i think its great

what are you, retarded? I was joking. This was apparent because I wrote the word "joke" in big ****-off capital letters AND, as if that wasn't enough, I put a winky face to denote... yes you've guessed.. that I was JOKING.

What's with the rage? Did I say you weren't joking? I was merely commenting that OP's expectation is quite reasonable on what he's paying and that was all.

I'd edit the post if I were you...or the mod might send you away from this forum for a holiday.
