I wanna get a graphics card for my computer so I can play decent PC games for once. My PC is almost brand new and its specs are really good. The problem is I dont have a clue about graphics cards and am limiting myself to £50 or under. Ive seen cheap ones selling here on SReserve but are they any good? Please help

You can get a 9800 pro for about £140 these days. Good solid card.

I picked up a HIS EXCALIBUR Radeon 7000 yesterday for £15 to tide me over until my X800 XT is delivered. As someone said though, if you are wanting it for games then just forget about it until you have the cash, it really isn't worth wasting your money on something that is ultimately going to disappoint.

I too, have my own Graphics-card-conundrum.

I recently bought a 'Radeon 9550', but I am not sure if Simcity 4 will run on this graphics card.

Try somewhere like Amazon.co.uk, though.

£50 for a graphics card is just a waste of money really, unless you get one of the older good cards 2nd hand, like a geforce 4 ti4600 or something.
