I am looking for a good spec graphics card for as little money as I can get away with :)

Been looking at the Nvidia 9600 Gt model and it has good reviews.

Found this on Ebay, is it a good deal, bearing in mind he wants £15 for delivery!

    I suggest you google it and look for online reviews for this card.
    Also review sellers ebay feedback for this same card, but prob is some ebay buyers are too quick to leave feedback on receipt of items, e.g they state ' quick delivery' hence it may be hard to judge. feedback should be on the item state and quality etc:confused: :T

    it's close...for that I'd pay a little more for a new, guarantted one from a known supplier..
    on ebay, it looks about the going rate...maybe a little high for a generic card (inc the high postage)

    only thing that bothers me is that it says its generic, so no particular manufacturer. Would this make it less attractive than one made by a recognised manufacturer?

    The word Eclipse sends shudders through my spine.
    I have been on many many forums where people have had huge issues with Eclipse

    I wouldn't go near them.
