Which GPU?

Existing 8300GS PCI-E has died a death and need a replacment.

Scan are doing the 8400GS for £25 on Today Only and so are PC World.

Which would be the next GPU up from the 8400GS that we would see a considerable difference performance wise?

Max budget of £50.

I wonder if your 8300GS had one of the G86 cores affected by the faulty bumps??

If you want to do some gaming this card would be a good choice:

If you are not gaming I would get the Asus HD4350 on the Scan Today Only webpage for around £25:

Relatives friends PC.

There was screen corruption, took out the GPU and connected monitor to onboard graphics and it was fine, also tried a 8400GS (my spare card) and that was fine too.

I think they may do some gaming but not 100%. I told them about the 8400GS and they asked if any difference if they go for a better card. I told them it would cost twice as much - were going to check with their son and advise. I think the £50 is a very max budget :(

What are the specifications of their computer??

Edit!!

There are some B grade 8800GS/9600GSO cards which are within the £50 budget:

Only had the computer for a day and didn't check specs but

Packard Bell Tower
Core 2 Duo - not sure of speed
320HD
etc.

You will need to check what PSU it has. The 8800GS and the 9600GSO(both are exactly the same cards) need additional power in the form of a PCI-E power connector.

An HD4670 OTH is bus powered.
