Budget gaming graphics £60

[meizumintyboi]

must be no more than £60! (yes i know stingy)

if possible refer links from ebuyer because i get free shipping

card interested in:

Xpertvision 8500GT Sonic edition 256MB 128bit DDR3 DVI TVO PCI-E

simply because it has ddr3 ram, SLi, dx10 & pcix16
are the above reasons the right reasons? (is dx10 & ddr3 important for gaming or should i be looking at dx9 ddr2 gpu's in the £60 bracket)

now i am mostly in favour for gaming & good enough gpu for hd videos

so am i right to look into the 8 series, or should i be looking at:

Leadtek WinFast GeForce 7600 GS 256MB DDR2 PCI-E with Silent Heatpipe classic edition

Sapphire HD 2400XT 256MB GDDR3 VGA DVI TVO PCI-E Graphics Card

Sapphire X1650 Pro 512MB 128bit DDR2 Dual DVI TVO PCI-E

HIS X1650Pro IceQ 256MB (128bit) DDR2 PCIe Dual Link DVI & TV (PAL) (RoHS)

Sapphire X1650 Pro Ultimate 256MB GDDR3 DVI TVO PCI E Graphics Card

Sapphire HD 2600 Pro 256MB DDR2 Dual DVI TVO PCI-E Graphics Card

Sapphire RADEON X1650 PRO ATI 256 MB GDDR3 Digital Visual Interface ( HDCP ) HDTV out lite retail PCI-E

any on this link and this link

all opinions are valued as i plan on purchasing v. soon thanks!

You can get an X1950Pro for £65 ish if you shop around - would be silly not to....

The 8500Gt is not a good gaming card. Out of the ones you listed, I'd probably most likely go for a Sapphire X1650 Pro. In terms of 256MB versus 512MB it purely depends on the resolution you game at, anything over 1280x1024 then I'd go for the 512MB card.

where can you get this card for that money? Except eBay the cheapest that I can see is a value OC card for £82.

this card for that price would blow away the rest...and if game (as most of us do) then this is up to the job so far !

I just stumbled across that site ealier tonight (see another thread I started)...bloody cheap..... but I decided to go the eBay route and ended up with a 7900GS for £46....that should keep me going......

... now all I need is a decent 22" widescreen panel.....

But it's more like an extra £22 once you include delivery costs.
