Right first off im skint! I had a pair of XFX 275's running in sli and then my car gets crashed into and the person who did it disappears without a trace. Damage neck end of a grand. So I sell my 275's as they were worth a bit and as I needed a card I bought a cheap 9600 GSO!! Arghh. What a mistake. Poor performance to what I was used to and no fan controller either, just a 100% whirrr gutted. What can I get for around the £100 mark that will give me decent performance on my 790i board??

Sorry to hear about your troubles but you must've known that the 9600GSO is not for gaming.

A GTX 260 or 4890 ,as others have recommended, would be the best option.
 
9600 GSO not for gaming ?? What a load of tosh.

Missus has a 8800GS 384MB (pratically the same card as the 9600GSO) and can happily play games. Most recently, was playing Neverwinter Nights 2 at 1280x1024 in Medium details.

Ok, fair enough its not for 'serious' gaming, but there are fair worse cards available.

Some people spend there month's pay within a month of getting it, I do wonder how they get by

Probably by not being on a high enough wage to make it easy to save. Things arent cheap these days and dependant on where you live and your job it can be quite easy to get through an average wage (22k), no savings and without huge amounts of frivolity inside a month. Huge range of outgoing bills, housing and utility bills these days.

So your wife can play a game on a low res at medium settings.

This person had 2 GTX 275s, he was a serious gamer.A 9600GSO is not for him.
 
Wow I didnt expect to cause this amount of fuss haha. Im thinking either splash my plastic and do a full upgrade of my 775 system now or get a 5770 or gtx 260. Just cant decide really.
