Looking For A Decent Gaming Graphics Card For Under £70

[Youmad94]

Hello i've been searching round the web for a decent gaming graphics card for under £70 (77 Euro, 112 Dollars) I'm stuck on what to buy and where to buy it. Im currently running WoW on fair settings and topping around 25 Fps, Im looking for something that can run WoW on ultra on 30+ FPS.

My Computer Specs are :

ATI Radeon HD 4300/4500 series
Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Quad, 2.50 Ghz
RAM 6.00 GB

So to sum everything up I just want to some tips on what graphics card to get and where to get it (WoW Ultra 30+ FPS, Under £70).

To answer what you could buy:

(AMD Radeon 5770)

This is an entry level gaming card - as close as I can get to what your budget permits. It should not struggle much with overworld and instance FPS - but its not going to help much with framerate issues in raids. In a CPU bound game like WoW, you often need to get a better processor for that.

That looks nice, just one question about it. Does it have a HDMI Port because I cant see one or do I have to buy some kinda of adapter? Sorry about the stupid questions Im bad when it comes to computers, Well whats in them anyway.

Nope it doesn't

Two DVI connecters and Display port interface.

This card has one. £10 over your budget including shipping costs.

Some if not all of those prices do not include VAT. Not exactly something you can claim back as a regular consumer.

Pretty sure I set it to include VAT when I looked for those... (But your right, I usually do link ex VAT prices)

Opps. sorry yeah, must have switched back when I went back to looking for stuff I want lol :P Anyway updated with both sets of prices.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys, Im seeing alot of love for the Radeon 5770 so I think I might go for that.

It's not really love :P it's just the best card available for such a low price.

If you can stretch up to the £100 mark, that 6770 is a massive performance increase over the 5770. It's worth the extra £30 or so. I realise money might be an issue (i don't know your circumstances), but saving a little extra will benefit you in the long run.

If money is an issue though, the 5770 is still a good midrange card.

The 6770 is just a rebranded 5770.

According to that review the 6770 performs the same if not below the 5770 in most everything. Not to mention thats a preoverclocked version they're using lol

Just got my 5770 and im very impressed. Went from 10-20 FPS on fair settings, To 40+ FPS on ALL Ultra settings.
