Budget Video Card

I've just bought Silent Hunter III which has refused to run on my computer, which has made me accept my GeForce 2 MX can't quite hack it any more. So I'm looking for a new graphics card, which i can spend about £60-70 (incl. VAT) on (ideally the lower figure 🙂 ) in the UK. I probably won't be using it for the latest fps games (or i would have had to upgrade before now), but i would like to be able to run sims and rts games easily.

One card I've looked at is the Radeon 9600XT here, but all advice is welcome.

Thanks in advance!

A good site for buying video cards in the UK is Komplett. I'd seriously recommend that you get a 6600 or 6600GT, its a very good card and its at a very reasonable price. For a little bit cheaper you could get a radeon 9800 pro, I have one and its pretty good in all games (Unreal 2004, Doom 3, Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory etc...), but the 6600GT is faster (I'm not sure about the 6600 vanilla).

Radeon 9800 pro, £100
6600GT, £129
