Need some help quick!

Can some one help me out here.

Here purchased a sapphire x800 gto 2 card from here around a year and a bit ago. I purchased an amd x2 4600 a few days ago and for some reason in the process of placing the new cpu the graphics card decided to die on me showing up correct artifacts on screen for some reason or other.

Now ive heard the rma process at Sapphire isn't great and it also cost £25 quid to get a replacement card! and it's also takes a while to get a replacement.

So in the meantime would it be worth getting another one of these cards second hand or could anyone recommend a better second hand graphics card which costs around 70 quid.

Oh i'm looking at an ebay item which runs out in less than two hours which i'm tempted to get.

Can anyone help please?

Ok ive been looking around and i'm thinking of getting a 7600GT is this type of card better than a gto 2?

Infact i'm now looking at the BFG GeForce 7600 GT OC does this look like a good card?

hmm I had unlocked the card to allow for 16 pixel shaders. Do you think it will be really worth it?

Unfortunatly Ive just upgraded my cpu to an x2 4600 otherwise I would have gone for something abit more expensive. But the meantime I need something which will do the job.

Also another question is will sapphire take it to be rma'd when its been unlocked?

Indeed I hadn't throught of that. In that case I think i'll get it rma'd and wait for the time being. As you say they no longer produce the gto2 so should get the next card up from there.

Lets hope so!

Looks like ive got a long wait ahead of me!
