Buying New Graphics Card, Which One Should I Buy ?

[Ancell]

Hi I got a budget of around £40-50 because my old xfx 8600gt broke.. And I just want something cheap as im building new pc at christmas anyway.

I have a P35 NEO Motherboard

And the card Im thinking of buying is:

If anyone can recommend better then please do. Im not sure what to look for
I just go by clock speed and mem speed.. But dont know what I should go by..

Also it says

Interface - PCI Express x16 (PCI Express 2.0)
My motherboard is only pci express x16 not pci 2.0.... But im 99% sure its backward compatible.

Any help appreciated.

It would be better if you could save up a little bit more for a HD4850 / HD4770. Else the HD4670 is a good replacement for the 8600GT.

Yh I dont really want to spend even £50 because for christmas im gna build a new pc so this just something that is good ish lol..

Yeah, the HD4670 is better than the 8600GT.

And since you are planning on a new build definitely go through red's thread linked above. I think you'll get all that you need to know.

Thanks for that link pretty intresting

I will buy the HD4670

It will deff fit my p35 neo mobo ?

If you have a PCI-E x16 it definitely should.
