Spare Graphics Card?

Postby Mass » Thu Apr 26, 2012 8:02 am

Hi all.

I'm just on the verge of re-installing my good old flight sim after a few years away. (You can tell its university exam time soon!) However the system I'm running only has built in graphics, I am also on a very strict student budget and therefore was wondering if anyone happens to have an acceptable one lying around, that they may have replaced or no longer use and so on and so forth, that I may be able to buy from them? Or alternatively does anyone know of any particularly good cheap deals, im not looking for anything ground breaking, just a decent card which i can run on.

Many thanks

I have an old 6800 GT you can have? not the most modern card ever but it runs FSX ok as long as the rest of the machine is ok. not as quick as the current NVIDIA cards but will be far better than built in graphics! if your interested, i'm in the midlands, and wouldnt expect anything in return for it, its set on a shelf for a year never to be used again!

but will totally understand if you dont want it though
