F1 2011 Moving from playing on PS3 to PC.. Graphics Card Advice Needed

[Superman]

Hi all,

I've played both the 2010 and 2011 game on the PS3 and with the better graphics and the ability to mod things on the PC, I'd like to start playing it on the PC.

Now, when I originally built my PC, it wasn't intending to use the computer to play graphics intensive games (typical I know!) and as such I was donated a graphics card (NVIDIA GeGorce 7900 GT/GTO) from a friend which doesn't look good enough for F1 2011.

As there are a lot of people who play on the PC - I'm turning to you for advice on what would be a suitable graphics card which will deliver better graphics but not uber expensive (budget would be below £200). Plus, I only got a 550W power pack which could do with upgrading too.

I think my processor (AMD Phenom II X4 995 3.2GHz) and RAM (4GB DDR3) is sufficient.

Thanks in advance for all replies.

Considering that In" April 2003, NVIDIA introduced the GeForce FX 5600 and the GeForce FX 5200 to address the other market segments", that makes the 5200 FX about 8-9 years old. Where did you get 17 yrs from?Good choice of card from the OP by the way. I prefer AMD GPU's out of experience.

You didn't read it correctly. There is a space between 1 and 7. I mean I have one 7 years old Nvidia 5200 FX. Not a 17 years old card.
