1. Don't hijack threads.

2a. Is the card for your laptop, if so, then you're sh*t out of luck. You can't replace your video card just like that if at all?

2b. If it isn't then are you sure the motherboard you're going to use it in has a PCI-E slot?

3. If you answered no to 2a and yes to 2b then I suggest the 7600GT, just make sure you have a good enough PSU.

Paddy1998, welcome to the forums and can you get a bigger budget in any way? Cause it would give you a much better selection of video cards to choose from.

its a desktop and it takes pci-e iv'e just seen a geforce 7300gs for less than £50 are these bad or something cause that seems really cheap and i have a 500w psu
 
1.) What do you plan on doing with this graphics card? Just make sure your desktop doesn't lag or are you going to be gaming?

2.)Watts don't always matter. Would you happen to know the amps on your +12V rail? If not it should say on the side of the PSU.

3.)If you are going to be gaming, the 7300GS isn't going to give you good performance...

Also, welcome to the forums! :D
 
i've narrowed it down to two cards that i can easily afford they are :
Club 3d GF6600 PCI-E 256MB DDRII 128BITS TV+DVI+CR cost £58
which features core 300mhz ramdac 400mhz 128bit
or
XFX GeForce 7300GS 256MB DDR2 TV DVI PCI-E cost £45
which features core 550mhz ramdac 400mhz 64bit
this one also has turbocache so its ram can be doubled to 512mb from the system memory
