Recommend me a graphics card...

[J1234]

Hey, I am looking for a good graphics card to be used with a dual monitor setup, in PCI-E, and with a budget of around £80. The two monitors I have are the Acer AL1916WS 19" and I'm using a 500W PSU. Cheers.

£100ish would give u more options...

Thinking of buying that card too, can that badboy be unlocked/flashed me wonders!

I could stretch to 100ish if thats a better option?

If i were you m8, i`d save up, and get a 7600GT. Best value card there is right now imho.

What about the
HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X800 GTO ICEQII TURBO 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (RX800GTO-256ICEQT) (GX-044-HT) Available This Week Only for just £89.95 +VAT. Looks a good price for that?

 

[ACESHIGH]

they are good cards, that one is very quiet too.

 

[oweneades]

Although not really any better than the other GTO mentioned above (but costs considerably more).

In fact you can buy the GTO above (the one on offer) and get a Silencer for it for less than the HIS model.

The HiS cards can be unlocked and oc'd like mad

 

[J1234]

I have decided on the PowerColor ATI Radeon X800 GTO 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-054-PC) in that case, will the Arctic Cooling ATI 4 (X800 Series) VGA Silencer (HS-001-AR) silencer fit it, if so how would i go about fitting it?

 

[J1234]

Bump.
