yeah. second the evga support. My gtx 275 can still handle any game out there, but they are hard to find these days. If you have the money, the new  460 would be my choice.

I can't thank all you guys enough. I'm a bit of an ignorant when it comes to video cards so I need all the help I can get.

So far this one seems to be it:

 

GEFORCE GTX 460 1024Mb

http://www.pixmania.com/pt/pt/6573813/art/gigabyte/geforce-gtx-460-1024-mb-g.html

(web page in portuguese, card in stock at a store 5 min away from me)

 

It's not EVGA, it's GIGABYTE, can't find EVGA close by. The specs look the same but the actual card does not...

Is it the same? What do you say?

 

Thanks!

I would try and find a EVGA card. I dont like that brand but thats just an opinion. Even if its from far away I would think they can mail it to you. Totally up to you......

Hi thor :)

 

Pixmania are not the best company to deal with. They don't tell you if they feel like substituting a french version of the product for the local model you think you ordered. Bought a camera from them and it came with a french plug and manual plus a plug adaptor for the UK. Never again.

 

Hope you get sorted soon.

Hey Ban.

Thanks for the tip but I think i'll go with the EVGA GTX460. According to this

http://www.nvidia.co.uk/object/graphics_cards_buy_now_uk.html

it seems gtx460 has higher performance.

 

Thanks!
