Recommendations for around the £50-75 mark

Hi guys,

I have a Q6600, 2GB of RAM and a 8800GTX which recently died. I'm thinking of picking something up second hand and I'm looking for best bang-for-buck.

I heard the 4890 are pretty good? Recommendations, please

For that sort of money you could pick up a gtx 260/275/280, or the 4890 if you want to go ati.

Yeah for that price range you would probably want to get a second hand GTX275 or 4890 on the MM.

4870 and 2 extra 2gb of mem tbh.

This tbh, there has been plenty in the MM as of late.

+1 with the 4890, or theres been a few 5770's hovering about that price point in the mm the last few weeks

definitely HD4890, maxes all games (apart crysis, metro) on 1920x1080, but they harder to buy at such price!

as to Nvidia gtx260, but gtx275 better choice, or gtx280, which even better, but again harder to buy for £80

Is the 470 great for bang-for-buck?

if you can get the GTX470 for that money, RIP THE GUYS ARM OFF!!, but first make sure you ask whats wrong with it

The 470's are very good value, particularly as they overclock very well.

What price should I be looking at for a 470?

Check ocUK website for a hint .
You won't get any for under 140-150 probably.

I'd strongly suggest getting another 2GB of RAM as well as the card.

4870/260 is probably the best for price/performance ratio

I'll pick up some RAM, too
