I have most of the parts for my new PC on order. I need a temporary graphics card – I plan to buy an 8800GTX, but this will have to wait until next month, or even the month after.
I therefore need a very low cost PCI-E graphics card to build the system with and get it going and bedded in for the next few weeks. The focus must be on low cost with no concern about performance – that will come with the new card.
I guess it should be nVidia rather than ATi so that at least the drivers will be the same for both which will save later hassle. Will any low cost card do, or is there a minimum GPU I should get? I will stick to everyday Windows, Browsing, Word & Excel for the time being, Photo-editing will be a pain, and there will be no flight sims, but I can live with that for a few weeks!
Should I get a new cheapie from SCAN, or buy second hand from eBay (or HEXUS Bargains might be more reliable)?
Opinions please.
