Can anyone recommend a good card for under £50

AGP slot 1.5v?

Does this mean I can only get graphics cards that are 1.5v?

It has a warning in the manual saying:

Please do NOT use a 3.3v AGP.

So can I get any card apart from a 3.3v, or does it still have to be a 1.5v card?

 

[Cromewell]

It means that you shouldn't use a 3.3v card but you can use a 0.8v card. You should be pretty safe though, most AGP cards you can find are 1.5v or 0.8v now.

 

[Phumfeinz]

Well, any card I look at says I need either an Athlon or Intel. However, I have a sempron. Would this still work?

 

[Cromewell]

Yes it will work.

 

[Phumfeinz]

Awesome. Well, I think i'll go with this

You might have posted it somewhere already but what motherboard do you have?

 

[Praetor]

You should be ok with that video card

K7S41/K7S41GX

 

[Cromewell]

Ah right, the ASRock one. As Preator said it should work without a problem.

 

[Phumfeinz]

Argh. I wont be able to get the card now til at least monday. Just my luck. Unless I pay £15 to get it saturday.

 

[Cromewell]

If it were me, 2 days early isn't worth £15, most of the time I wait well over a week for stuff I ordered to travel across the country.

 

[Phumfeinz]

Hmm nVIDIA vs ATI. Well, the nvid has 256MB, and the ATI has 128.

Christ I dont know what to get.

 

[Phumfeinz]

I'm gonna go for the nVIDIA.

It has 'advanced vertex and pixel shader capabilities' which is exactly what I need for WoW.

 

[Cromewell]

Whats the budget you are working in? The FX5200 is not a great card.

 

[Phumfeinz]

No? Aww damnit. This is hard work trying to choose. Budget is under £50. (+ £8 for posting)

 

[Phumfeinz]

Haha, I really do think i'm gonna go for this

http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=62209

I'll just have to wait til tuesday to get it. Your opinions?

 

[Cromewell]

Budget is under £50

Yeah I should have figured that out by the thread title something like this should work well http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/prod...2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=80791 there is also a 256mb version if you would prefer that, but 128MB should be plently

 

[Phumfeinz]
