    Question New Graphics Card

    Hey everyone,

    It's time for a graphics card upgrade because my current Nvidia 8400GS 512MB is just feeling too "clunky"

    I've found this which i think will help with games

    http://www.ebuyer.com/product/255437

    I was just wondering if anyone who is a little more up to date with newer graphics cards could give me some advice?

    I used to run an Nvidia GTS250 1GB and it played all my games excellently, Counter Strike:Source, CODMW2, L4D2.

    Will this card perform just as well?

    If not what other cards should i be looking at for under £100 (GBP)

    Thanks in advance

    you should be happy with the gt440. I have the gt430, and it runs games like a champ. Then again, I don't do any high end gaming, just regular stuff.

    Dunno how far your budget stretches but a 460/465 would be a better buy if finances allow.

    If you want to compare cards side by side use this site http://www.gpureview.com/show_cards.php
