what is the maximum price then??
what games, ATI and nvidia perform differently for different games

try an nvidia 7300, might be worth a go

[phil]

bad thing is i only have £38 to get a graphic card

[teknokid]

is it really worth it then? why not wait a little longer and get something better?

[phil]

i would but my intergrated graphics is not alowing me to play a game it keeps shuting down my computer
when i get in to the game after 5 mins my computer just shuts down

i also wnat to get a graphics card fast because its using my RAM and i only have 512 at the moment

what games, ATI are better than nvidia in some games while nvidia are better than ATI in some games


and also, £38 is kind of a random number :lol:

The new 8300 / 8600 series cards from Nvidia are due out soon (March).

While they will be above your price range, they will most likely cause a drop in prices of other cards. It may be worth holding on for just a few more weeks. :wink:

[teknokid]

i wanna get an 8600 card for physics :p

[Taxation]
