Upgrading
I'm currently thinking of getting an upgrade before the next LAN (which should hopefully give me enough time to save for it as I'm not currently in a position to go spending 87 euro + on a new one).
My current gfx card is decent. It's an ATI Radeon 5770 HD 1GB ( http://www.hisdigital.com/un/product2-481.shtml - Although it's about 2/3 years old so it's got the old build). It runs most games decently but I am starting to realise I have to tone the graphics down a tad in certain games to get a decent Frame rate.
Therefore. I am looking for an upgrade. What could people suggest? I'm not looking to go mental here. Probably around a max of 87 euro but that's still probably a tad steep for now.
Any suggestions are appreciated

Re: Upgrading
£40 can't get you anything faster than what you have tbh.

Rasher strikes again. It's £400 not £40.
