Default replacement for my nvidia 8800gts 640mb
Hi all, I am new to this forum. How are you all??
My old graphics card died and I am looking to replace it with a similar if not better card. It was the old nvidia 8800 gts 640mb card. Used to know which card was which years ago but dont anymore. I do a lot of online gaming, cod world at war etc. Any ideas for a reasonably priced card for gaming that will be similar or outperform my old 8800gts?
Thanks guys

It depends if you want to buy new or used. Also how much $$$ do you want to spend ?

Looking to spend around £130 which is around $200 for a new one, and also would like hdmi connection.

Yes. The good thing too is it runs cool and it's not a power hog or heat generator like NVIDIA's new cards. Here in Canada can be had for $155. And yeah it's a definate "upgrade" from your current gpu. Also XFX has lifetime warranty, can't beat that.

Sounds good, perhaps I should get my cousin to buy it there and post it to me

This wouldn't be an upgrade at all. Maybe like 5%.
