PNY 8600GT 512MB Graphics Card - £52.99 + P&P @ Misco


£52.99

14°

FOUND BY: biglugs1 1 year, 9 months ago

Probably the most powerful graphics card you can get which doesn't need an additional power supply, so a great add-in for those people who buy cheap Dells and want some gaming power without having to upgrade your power supply.

This is not DDR3 so the previous ebuyer inno3d deal is better.

Sorry but I don't agree - the 8800GT works brilliantly with the standard Dell power supplies...

Sorry - didn't spot that this was only DDR2 - I was so busy focussing on the fact that it didn't need an additional power supply, which is important because the Dell Vostros only come with SATA connectors spare and you need to replace the power supply if you want a powered Graphics card.
Had a look at the Inno3D one now and that looks pretty good for the money.

As I said in my previous post, they now come with a spare PCI-E connector as well, perfect for the 8800GT!

they will be fine for any gfx card that needs only 1 pci-e connector. re. which gfx card to buy, depends on what you want it for. For gaming, I'd recommend the 8800gt - it's the best "bang for buck" card at the moment and will work perfectly in the vostro. here is an example of one: http://www.ebuyer.com/product/135072

Hey there,

I'm not too knowlegable when it comes graphics cards and what knot but i'd be exrtremely happy if some could advise me.

I have dell vostro 200 pc and i would like to upgrade the graphics card as good as i can get for £50, would this one work with my machine? Is this the best at the price?

Thanks sooo much HUKD lot!!
