    Wanted Cheap PCIE Graphics Card

    The magic smoke just escaped out of my graphics card so I need a new one.

    Don't need anything very powerful as I don't do any gaming, CAD or anything like that these days.

    Just need something that meets my basic requirements as below:

    HDMI and VGA outputs (or HDMI and DVI).
    Properly outputs sound through HDMI
    Had no problem with videos at 1920x1080
    Drivers for 7x86, 7x64, 10x86 and 10x64 are still available from manufacturers website.
    Can be posted to reach me by middle of next week.

    Desirable but non essential:
    NVidia preferred.
    1 slot card rather than a 2 slot monster.
    Low power consumption.

    Payment will be cash into specified bank account. I'm happy to collect and pay cash on delivery if it is near to me.

    Just to meet BST rules, I am stating an offer of £1, but post what you have and what you want for it including delivery.

    Please note: this is posted in accordance with the section rules at: 22.35 05/04/2018 meaning non VIP's are not permitted to purchase or make an offer until 24 hours after this time. Full section rules can be found HERE please read before posting.

    As my main desktop is unusable at the moment, there is a low chance I could end up finding a friend with a spare one or going to the local CEX or something.

    I don't have anything I'm afraid but have you seen the Nvidia Geforce G210 series? They tend to be £30-35 new, have the outputs you want, support up to 2560x1600 (WQXGA) over digital, and many support a dual-monitor setup too. Not sure about "properly outputs sound over HDMI" but they should output audio over HDMI.

    I've used a lot of the EVGA G210 01G-P3-1313-KR and can't fault it, I mainly used it to turn basic office PCs into dual-monitor setups.
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-210-DD...dp/B004KABG1I/

    If price is crucial then I found a couple for £25.57 and £25.99 on amazon, I have prime so can always use my account to have them sent to you if that was any use?
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Gigabyte-GV...dp/B005MEDD80/
    https://www.amazon.co.uk/Asus-NVIDIA...dp/B01AY793MY/

    You may even get lucky in Maplin, everything is minimum 20% off atm but I found some of their stuff was still over priced!

    I've got a Sapphire r9 270x 4gb sitting here, probably overkill for your needs though and doesn't meet the low power requirement! (It's also quite big so space may be an issue)

    Thanks to Ganty

    Reading evilsatan and Mickey's posts was leading me to get https://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/compu...69429-pdt.html

    But the geek in me is thinking why not get something that is massively over specified for my needs.

    What do you want for it?
