Best videocard around 50 dollars?

[DangerAardvark]

Looking at either an HD2400 Pro or... actually that's all I'm looking at.

Do you absolutely need a graphics card for a computer with a broken graphics card? Why bother getting a card now, it's not gonna do good in any games for $50. Just stick with what you have and save up and THEN upgrade, save yourself the $50 as it's not gonna be much of an improvement anyways.

Maybe he doesn't have a card.

Get a used 7600gt or something similar.

Yeah, I got the other parts of my new build in, but I'm still waiting on an 8800GT. I just need any old card so I can at least use the thing.

If you just need a crappy cheap video card, there are very often free-after-rebate deals for things like 6200SE's and 7100GS's (I think I got the letters right but it might be the other way around).

I picked-up a Foxconn 8500GT for $40 AR on ZZF. See if they still have the deal.

probably not what you want ... but a x1950p for $66 after MiR at CC
... in-store only ... so you can get it today if you live nearby
[i would say their rebates are probably 100% reliable and you can then sell this card for $50 after you use it instead of throw it away] 😉

You could just buy the best card you can afford from CC/BB and then return it when you get your 8800gt. Right now you'd have until Jan 31st to return it.
