I've had an MX440 for 4 years and it never let me down, however a;; good things must end and it has sadly bit the dust Sad

So basically I'm looking for cheap-ish graphics card (No more then £60) that is capable of running battlefield 2etc, perhaps a GeForce 6-series..nothing too flashy, just get the job done, oh and it must be AGP as well...

Anybody know of any decent sites/stores I could check out?

Thanks Thumbs Up

If you go for a geforce 6 series card make sure you go for the 6600 over the 6200, the 6200 is just poor.

6600GT if you can spare a few extra quid.

How much are you asking for them? The 6600s aren't bad cards.

Dunno at the moment mate - make an offer i suppose .

They're only 2 months old , never OC'd , ran in a well ventilated machine etc...

Also have both boxes, leads , manuals and games to go with them .

They are the GT versions , not just the standard 6600.

Haven't had any problems running any games and i play most things on full spec !

If you're intrested make an offer , i haven't decided whether to flog them or the 78 yet

Without knowing brand, core/ram speed and onboard memory I can't really offer anything Razz

I'll probably leave it for a while anyway to be honest, need to source another rad and a couple of slimline GPU blocks first. May well jump straight to 6800GS when the time comes. Using an Radeon x800 XL currently, was a freebie. I much prefer Nvidia for looks though, the ATI is functional but I'm really not keen on how it makes a game "feel".

Well the 2 6600GT's would be better than a single 78 - but if i keep the 78 i'll be buying another one to pair it with Wink
