Yeah I can do simple multiplication and division. :D Thanks for everyone who responded/helped me out!

I went shopping.... I ended up spending 70 quid for a 256 5700. (not ultra though :( ) As long as it runs hl2 and doesn't make me crash :D

Thanks for all your help, i'll let you know what I do. (Going card shopping today see if my haggling abilities are up to scratch)

So the XFX 5700U I linked to up the page is a good card?

VAT is value added tax The government put it (17.5%) on items considered to be 'luxury' on things like petrol and anything else they think will get them money, to pay for things like road maintenance and the national health sevice, and whatever else they see fit to squander it on.

ouch £150 to get it to my door. I really want an Nvidia not a Radeon though... :( VAT really is a kick in the teeth.

www.ebuyer.co.uk - so you guys can see what they charge us over here :eek:

You crazy foreigners :p 9 pounds?! try around 78 pence or something. No essentially I have $240 to spend, the technology gap isn't that harsh. I bought a radeon 9600 sapphire for £60 but it was faulty and I sent it back, that's why I want an Nvidia.

$246 apparently :) This is the card I was looking at but what do I know? http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=3195651632&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X292ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=66314

Hmm, perhaps your not the guys to ask after all. :(

Oh and by the way, you guys really make it a challenge to be able to register on this site. :)

I live in the UK, and I have around £130 to spend. I'm looking for an Nvidia card, preferably one with a fan opposed to a heatsink. It should be able to run games for a while to come, good 2d performance aswell as 3d. I was thinking a 5700 ultra but as the title says, you guys seem to...
