    Hey guys,
    I need a quick answer on this one...

    Will this GPU be compatible with this Motherboard ?

    And is it worth £60(about $120) as I can get one at that price.

    Thanks,
    Rhys

    You've posted the same link twice.
    It's worth about £50-£60 I suppose, no more than that. As long as your mobo has a PCI express 16x slot and your PSU is powerful enough it should work.

    Wow, that's an impressive deal. Hope it works!
    I hope it does work out for you, I took advantage of a cheap GPU on ebay as well.

    Yes Abuzar, but in the UK he HD4850 is £120. His 8800GTX cost him barely more than half that.

    I know. I was just bored.

    P.S. I sold my 8800GTX for 500 back when they were popular. Man prices have changed haha.

    Indeed. Thing is the 8800GTX was still top dog ages after it came out. It was only topped by the 8800 Ultra which was prohibitvely expensive, even though it was a truly astonishing card, still outpacing every subsequent Geforce 8 and 9 series card that came out after, the 9800GTX+ included. This will only happen again if the HD4870X2 and GTX280 reign supreme for another year from now. I highly doubt it, and hope that's not the case, the stagnation of the graphics market this past year has been awful for high-end gamers like myself.
