Hi,
Which ,model no. Nvidia card should I look for as I want something with vague quality.
Thanks

Hi Tom,

Depending what you call cheap (which is a relative term ;)) I would highly recommend an Nvidia 5200 based card either 128 or 256Mb starting around £40 from either www.ebuyer.co.uk or www.aria.co.uk

I have the 256Mb card and it runs Quake 3 and Blood Rayne flawlessly, the former in Linux without a hitch :)

Maybe the 5200 is a little long in the tooth for hardened gamers but I think for price/performance it is a cracking card.

Kind regards,

Julian
