dude don't get the OcUK GeForce GT 440 1024MB GDDR3, u want a gddr5 card. One that slow wont be able to use 1024mb anyway. A 512mb gddr5 5670 would be a better choice imho. There is no performance difference between the 1024mb and 512mb versions because the card is too slow to use it. Just don't get the GDDR3 variant.

Nate Silvers · 4 Mar 2011 at 19:53

Whoa hang on the budget is £100 he is out of work at the moment, is this even possible? thanks for the tip titan

gamesaregood · 4 Mar 2011 at 19:56

Your going to need to look second hand with that budget I would think.

Try a wanted ad in the Members Market?

Trusty · 4 Mar 2011 at 19:57

100? You gotta be a troll right?

Damoon · 4 Mar 2011 at 20:01

Maybe an used pc could fit in this budget? Take a look at ebay maybe you will find something.

Nate Silvers · 4 Mar 2011 at 20:02

Okay I have made a wanted thread, just seen some people selling Athlons and ram for £12 so might be able to do it

paradisiac · 5 Mar 2011 at 08:47

an OS alone will be £60+ so dont leave you a lot of budget left.

Skellig · 5 Mar 2011 at 09:20

Damoon, you best remove that link. Overclockers doesn't allow mention of competitors.

Don't think you're suppose to quote the link either...

Cod 4 isn't very demanding at all compared to the prices of cards and what you can get these days. You will find a pc within budget for it no problem
