Comment: Hey guys, Which are the best PCI graphics cards to go for with a budget of about £50 ($80 ish) ? Dell decided not to give me a motherboard that includes AGp slots, and the integrated graphics on that are shocking! so PCI its gona have to be. Cheers

If you are an nV fan, go for the Mx, at least its better than a Fx5200... Error : Your cpu is not 1337 enough to view my sig

Reply: (edit)Second vote for 9100pci... egkenny, mx440 outperforms fx5200 in most benchmarks. fx5200 is a piece of s---.. Error : Your cpu is not 1337 enough to view my sig
