Hey people,

Time again for another upgrade, i'll be devoting a whole £100 MAX including p&p (oh yes im braking the bank here, lol) for some upgrades.

I'm after a new graphics card that can give me some really good frame rates and excellent graphics. The kind of graphics im after are like the one below (screenshot by eno, top job!)

So i was wondering what graphics i could get and where from in the UK?

Cheers,
Echo.

Would Frame Rates and graphics would i expect from a ATI x300se at £47?

ENO uses this card although dont know the exact specs of it.

An x300 will not give you decent frame rates. You can use it and set it to the hgihest settings and it will give you the image above and it will look great., but the low FPS will make gameplay very sluggish, if not impossible.

I'd go with a 6600 gt. A 6800 GT is not out of the question either.

Oh boy........... I might start an alter ego in this forum.....

"The Therapist" ........ gonna need him soon.

47 huh?

put a 2 in front of that figure and we'll talk some more.

If you want to have soso graphics..... then we could reduce that figure a little.
