Graphics Upgrade

[Mattbot2]

Hello all,

Need a decent GFX card in my dad's PC as I'm going to do a lot more gaming there. Going to be playing LFS (racing sim).

Spec is as follows

Corsair VX450
Asus P5K
2gb Corsair XMS2 DDR2
Intel E6750 @ 2.66ghz (65nm I believe)
8400gs (Currently)
Samsung 19" Monitor - 1440x900

He's willing to go halves with me, and I only want to spend £25, so the budget is £50.

I'm thinking something used off eBay, 9800gt, 9600gt, HD4670, that sort of thing?

LFS is not very power hungry. The 8400gs 256mb in there at current runs it at max res with everything on high with no AA/AF at 70fps, don't need lots of power.

Thanks,

Matt

Used?

Used?

Thought they went for more like £60 - £70?

4850 would be ideal if you can stretch to it, not much more in cost for a lot more performance.

Otherwise out of the ones you listed 9800gt would be the strongest..

there around £70-79 new, so used around £50
