    Hey people,

    I'm looking to upgrade from my 256mb ATI HD 3450 to A 1gig card.

    Ive never upgraded a graphics card before so I was wondering if any of ya's could recomend a decent 1gig card for under 100 euro and let me know where I can buy it.

    Thanks in advance!

    Update: I found this card on Play.com http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/-/667/874/-/14958786/XFX-ATI-Radeon-HD-5450-1GB-PCI-Express-2-1-Graphics-Card/Product.html?searchtype=genre seems pretty good for the price, Oh by the way I have a Inspiron 530 its about 2 years old and has 4 gigs of RAM and Dual Core Processor just putting that out there incase it would make a difference in the choice of card. So would anybody know if this is a good card or is there a better one out there I can afford?

    That card is a pile of dung and horribly overpriced :eek:

    What are you trying to do that needs a 1GB card? :confused: Are you gaming? If so what is the resolution of your monitor?

    If you are gaming then Pixmania recently had some HD5750 1GB reduced to €99-105, great value :)

    I'd recommend the Sapphire 5670 on Komplett right now. ~100€. Built a couple machines with them over the past few months, and they're a solid budget card.
