updates are sometimes a pain with ati............

edit............if your looking for one of the better gtx560... you will be looking at £180 there are a few on ebay.. but take your chances......since it's a one off id buy from a store.. up to you though..

What do you mean updates are sometimes a pain with ATI? Been using ATI for years, never had a problem with updating....its like me saying updates are sometimes a pain with nvidia...

And stealth, that card is good enough, but its pretty similar to the GTX 560, not sure its worth it, especially when its secondhand

Drifter shown me the pre-owned section on overclockers, but whats critical ? the cores ? the Hz ? ths shaders ? the memory ?
coz some are similar priced but the specs (numbers) differ quite a lot for around the same money :/
