Hi Guys. I have recently had my pc replaced through warranty and the graphics card that comes with it is very basic and done a search on this forum and only bad things were said. the pc(i know it aint a flying machine) AMDx2 4800+ 2gb ram 320gb hdd NVIDIA GeForce 6150 SE graphics card dvdrw rom Basically what i want to use it for is backing up blu ray discs and also use it for watching them on my hdtv. I may get 2gb more of ram and am looking to get a blu ray burner but the only thing i need to know is what type of card should i be getting as i am totally lost at this part. I only want to spend £50-60 and was looking at this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1GB-nVidia-Ge...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14 but someone said about a 8800 or 4850 but these seem a bit pricey. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks (sorry if this should be in the build section)
If you're a gamer, you will want something as good as the HD4850, but that will cause a problem for a prebuilt PC as the power supply won't be capable enough. A basic card like an 8600GT will do fine though, and will certainly be far better than the 6150SE. Also, that card is overpriced, you shouldn't be paying more than £30 for an 8400GS, they're rubbish and the only sell for that much in proper stores...
