I recently purchased a Hercules 9800 PRO for £135 a bargain! I wouldn’t pay any more than £150 for a card, they just get replaced too damn often for my liking. I intend to keep the Herc running for a couple of years.

Remember with graphics cards at the moment most (except the budget ones) are all pretty similar speed wise at upto 1280×960 resolution. The thing is its great to have a card that can pump out some ludicrous resolution but if you’re monitor, as like my tft won’t go higher than 1280×960, whats the point? Just keep that in mind when looking at high stuff. There aren’t many games that really push the top end of the last generation of cards.
