HI, i need another graphics card
its for a pc i built a while ago, which used to have a sapphire 9600pro in i, untill i nicked it for this PC :p
so im need a replacment, prefrably a Nivida card (cos the ati drivers are lame)
the rough specs of the pc are:
- athlon 2600+ (at about 2Ghz)
- 2*256mhz Twinmoss (w/winbond's)
- Epox 8rda+
(which is iN my sig actually)
and im looking to spend under £80 if possable, thanks guys

ATI Drivers are not lame :p get a life then go ATI :p
9600 should fit your budget :p
Gfx card under £80 ..... hmmmm ....... fancy another 9600?
For £80 you can get yourself a 9700pro. Or you can get a geforce 5700.
Really, the 9700 will blow the 5700 out of the water.
yeah, i though that might be what i would end up with
also, if i wanted to be able to spread an overlay arross twin moniters (ie strech a DVD accross both my screens) - what would i be looking at for that?
Think you will need something like this
ok, so if i got one of those (an ATi 128mb fireGL) that would defonatly spread DVDs acrross a twin display, even though there diffrent sized screens, and at diffren reselutionsQuote:

It wouldn't play games as well as a 9600 pro it will perform poorly in games in fact. BHut it would be great for your other jobs. That you have to do. Maybe if you could spread your budget to around £115 then you can pick up a 9800 pro which is worlds beter than a 9600 pro.
actually, ati drivers DO suck -_-
THANK YOUQuote:
