Graphics Card


Looking to spend up to £40 on a graphics card. Will buy from any site from www.ebuyer.co.uk , www.ebay.co.uk and other rebituble sites. Could I have some reccomendations please. And should I go for an expensive 128mb one, or a cheap 256mb one?

Ben

Re: Graphics Card


I recomend the nVidea TNT2. That is a great graphics card, and has 32MB, which is abit less than what you specified, but is fine for most tasks.

Steve, you really do need to shut up when you have nothing to say.

Steve please don't post if you don't have anything useful to say.

It was funny at first but recommending components that are more than 5 years old is not helping anyone.

GafferTape I suggest you add steve30 to your ignore list, otherwise don't respond to flame bait.

Re: Graphics Card


Well, it is obvious you are being sarcastic (even thought it is hard to prove) I asked for 128 / 256mb, you gave me an 32mb 'reccomendation'. Leave exceem if you feel threatened

If no one else replied and the original poster listened to your "advice" he would have wrongfully invested in a crappy graphics card (for the price)
