    Best GPU [performance wise] for £40?

    Exactly, what's the best GPU if you only have £40 in your pocket?

    Going second hand you might get lucky and bag a 4850 for that (just sold mine for £42.50 on AVForums).

    And you are telling me this now?

    I have check eBay and its £55+ so gotta find something else.

    4670 1GB by Powercolour for £39 - would that be a good purchase?

    I'm kinda lost when it comes to low-end GPU market as always owned a GPU for £250+

    Yeah a 1Gb 4670 for £39 is a good deal. You usually find them at around £50. Should be good for the lastest games at medium res and medium settings

    Plenty of them about:

    http://www.avforums.com/forums/compu...50-4870-a.html

    eBay is always more expensive than classifieds, people seem to buy any old junk on there with no view to it's value.

    Still, a 4670 for £39 is quite reasonable. New? Or used?

    Here's a 4770 for £35 if you still need something, second hand but 4770s are great!

    Not too bad at all that 4770 above, looks like it has been used quite a bit but for only £35 you cant be expecting much.
