neo Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Just fully upgraded my pc so have most of the internal bits for sale, first up is the gfx card - MSI NX8800GTS 512MB PCI-e slot bought approx 2 yrs ago cost £225 don't confuse this card with the inferior 320MB/640MB versions as they used a slightly slower and larger die size. Looking for around £70 + p+p or very sensible offers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maxi-glasgow Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Is that a full height card? I need to buy a decent graphics card but I can only use a low profile card as it's a slimline PC.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maxi-glasgow Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 PCI-e slots. Yes, struggling to find any cards apart from cards around the £30-£50 mark which are obviously quite old technology wise. I always used to get the latest graphics cards and motherboards & processors etc but then got a new HP DC5800 which is a good machine but because it's low profile it's hard to expand. All I have been able to expand so far is a larger hard drive and more memory and runs Windows 7 superbly, not installed any games but was hoping to upgrade the graphics before Modern Warfare 2 comes out.... Although I suppose any graphics card will be better than the on board graphics..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
