Spec me a card for £140 please :)

[gingergamer]

So I am in dire need of a new graphics card.

The max I can spend is about £140 delivered (so about £130 for the card).

I know this cant get me anything amazing, but anything is an upgrade from a 8600GT.

My current res. is 1280x1024, possibility I may plug it into my TV on occasion and play at 1920x1080 but that isnt too much of an issue if im not able to.

Current spec's in the sig.

Appreciated guys

Nah, I gave unlocking a go when I first got it but no dice :/

Good shout on the card, you know how long it will be til they get them instock and the price goes up again??

Might not be ordering for another week or so.

+ several million for that card, unbeatable for the price. And yes,stock arrives tomorrow, so the preorder price runs out tonight I believe.

Hope his helps

That 5850 is an excellent card/price if pre order isn't a problem.

 

[Renni 95]

Ahh right ok, and no im not to sure sorry but thats the best card you will get for your money, you can pre order for that price so i would do that and get it at that price

Edit: Ninjad get pre ordering

 

[siumatfung]

[gingergamer]

Ahh see I only have £114 in the bank o' Tommy at the mo' otherwise id order it now :/

Any other recommendations being as I cant get that? (I am genuinely annoyed about missing that offer :/).


And isnt free delivery 250 posts?

 

[Shayper]

Aww darn if you had access to the mm I'd have sold you my 5850 for that

For that price, check the well known auction site. May get a good deal.

Failing that, if you can get a 460 1gb jump at it

Okay, will have a scout around.

Thanks for all the help lads.

EDIT

Yeah I remember checking if I qualified for it not long ago and thought it was 250.
Anyway, soon enough

The 5850 is a fantastic card and a steal at that price.

I know im sort of reviving this thread a bit, but had a question about a 460.

Being as I will be mainly playing at 1280x1024 for now, is a 768mb version, such as the Cyclone which is on offer for only £120 this week, worth my money?

EDIT

Just taken a look at the 5850 again and its still £130, so will definately be ordering that at the end of this week if they dont raise the price.

But if they were to raise it, any thoughts on the 460 768mb?

The 460 may come down in price as the 560's are coming out soon (supposedly it's the 25th) but 460's are very good cards
