    Graphics Card Recommendations

    I'm looking to replace my dead graphics card with a new one.

    Preferably 1GB onboard processing, VGA & HDMI output and PCI-E based.

    Any recommendations?

    Thanks.

      Looks good, not bothered about the game. Got an XBox for gameplay.

        So do you actually need a high end graphics card?

          In the big scheme of things, probably not, but I have a sad fetish for higher end graphics cards. I look for a reasonable performance out of my computer. I also watch Blu-Ray films on my computer, and hate those jitters.

            Avoid NVIDIA get ATI (now branded as AMD) instead.

              To be honest, there is little difference in QA between the 2 brands. Have used ATI most of my career, but don't have much issue with NVIDIA to be honest. I know NVIDIA is (or at least was) targeted towards gamers and ATI is (or at least was) targeted towards business / noddy users, but to be honest, no real issues between the 2 makers.

                NVIDIA is going through very bad patch during which their products are not as good -- too hot (consume too much power), not that cheap either - it's the first time they had this tulip for so long ever since I first used them more than 10 years ago..

                Now using ATI card and pretty pleased

                  I've been a long time ATI fan, to be honest, I am disappointed that my current ATI graphics card stopped working. Also I have major issues with their drivers on Windows 7. The quality of ATI products have gone downhill for me.

                    I've had the opposite experience, and favour nVidia. If you don't play cutting-edge games I'd spend no more than £100.
