    For the last year i’ve had an ‘ok’ gaming pc, but truth be told the gfx card is a shockingly shite nividia 8400 gs.
    If i buy her some leather boots on the run up to xmas i’ can claim a bj and a some eletrical goods……….

    What would you recommend gfx pci-e wise for around about 80-100 quid? Advice please, i’m totally out of the loop gfx cards these days.

    ati 8750 still looks good for the money.. not sure what the nvidia equivalent would be

    The 4370 is supposed to be a flash card for the price, or is it 4890.. ah that looks more familiar

    This card is single handedly keeping my 4 and a half year old pc going atm, and running all but the most recent games at highest quality settings. The more recent stuff is limited probably only by the measly 1gb of ram I have.

    I was seriously looking at buying a 4870 but at the last moment spotted this deal…

    ATI 5770 that is on offer at overclockers, nice warrenty and fully dx11 so future proofed + 1 gig of mem.

    From what ive read it’s quieter and less power hungry which tipped the balance. It’s ordered

    Thanks

    Pretty spiffy imho, it’s running farcry2 at full wack and it does look perwdy, it came with a big egg heatsink fan combination and is quieter than the psu fan, i can now play modern games 🙂

    Ive played the demo of Dirt2 which is one of the first dx11 games and the gfx are great, particulary the water effects, shame the game is shit as a racer.
