Hi, I use my PC quite a lot for gaming, and I'm wondering if it's time for a new graphics card. The last one I got was an ATI Radeon 9800, which I bought in 2006 for Oblivion. I am thinking of updating my pc a bit, so what's a good graphics card?

I don't want to pay too much, don't want to exceed £100, preferably no more than £80. I'm not THAT concerned about my graphics. I was wondering, though, how much it would cost for a HD ready card. Forget about the £100 limit for that one.

Thanks

Louis

Ati hd3870 or nvidia 9600gt. Not sure if 8800gt costs more than 100 euros. Also make sure that your power supply has enough power.

Edit: I forgot the hd3850.

Dont get anything lower than geforce 8600gt or ati 3650. A great budget card is a 8800GS

You will have to upgrade it a fair bit as that Graphics card is AGP and newer good graphics card are PCIe. So you are looking at a new motherboard, CPU and memory too. A lot more than £100 to spend for you.
