Devils Dog Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Hi, I have £185 (£200 if you include postage) to buy a graphic card. I can only pay by PayPal so I am really look at either eBuyer or Novatech. I have a PCI-E x16 (Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-P31-DS3L) What should I get ? I was looking on Novatech and have seen: ATI £155.24 - Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 Toxic 1024MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI PCI-Express - Retail - LINK £183.99 - Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 4870 Vapour-X 2GB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI PCI-Express - Retail - LINK £172.49 - XFX ATI Radeon 4890 1024MB GDDR5 (PCI-Express) Graphics Card - Retail - LINK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3niX Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Well... 4890 definitely. Better performance AND you get a game. Also, your system is almost identical to mine... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 I'd go with the HD 4890 also. It's faster then the HD 4870, and from what I hear gives you better performence then HD 4870. Keep in mind though, that the HD 4890 runs off of two 6-Pin PCI-E Power Connecters. Make sure you have the available connecters and the power from your PSU.

anus Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 HD4890 by far. Their INSANE overclockers and are worth every cent over the 4870. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 Devil's Advocate says "look into nVidia cards.....too" I have £185 (£200 if you include postage) to buy a graphic card. Good luck finding a 1GB GTX Series Nvidia card for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miocene Posted May 18, 2009 Share Posted May 18, 2009 (edited) Get 2 HD 4770 cards linked in crossfire. Only around £170 and faster than the 4870, maybe the 4890 also. And will probs use less power. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/radeon-4770-...view-31570.html Edited May 18, 2009 by miocene Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
