Help with gfx upgrade

[agnes]

Is it possible to upgrade my gfx card from a 9800GT to something more 'game friendly' for £50ish quid?

The gfx card is starting to burn out. No amount of cooling will help it, not to do with the cores

Second hand 9800GT

Nothing new will get similar performance for £50

You could probably get a second hand Ati Radeon HD 5670, it does a good job at gaming tbh.

Unfortunatly, if you are looking for a new retail card then there is nothing that will beat a 9800GT in terms of performance for £50.

If you will consider a second-hand card then I think you can get a GTX 260 for ~£60 these days. This will give you a decent performance boost over a 9800GT, just make sure you buy one from a decent seller which doesn't have any issues.

+1 They seem to handle most games quite well.

definitely look at second handed: 4870/4890/Gtx260/Gtx280 (£45-£70)
