GPU Upgrade

[MT01XP]

I currently have an AGP 6800GS and am thinking of swithcing over to a PCI-E rig.

How much would I have to spend to get a PCI-E graphics card that would outperform the current AGP 6800GS? Which would be the card you'd recommend on a very tight budget?

Thanks

What do you want to play and what size monitor will you be using? Exactly how much money are you wanting to spend?

IMO any second hand cards for around £30+ or perhaps less will easilly out perform a 6800GS.

Hi willhub

I'm currently using an 18" TFT and playing CoD 4 (minimum settings).

Main reason I'm looking is that my AGP socket 754 mobo is knackered and it's going to be easier and probably cheaper to find a PCI-E replacement....just wondered how much an equivalent or better graphics card would set me back.

Get a cheap 2600XT or see if there are any ultra cheap X800's going around, they do the job and are upgrades, 6800's come in PCI-E too, I'd sugest looking on the bay for something second hand or checking MM.
