try to pick up a GTX 660 or 670, much better cards than all of those. 

on ebay uk there's a signature 2 3GB version from EVGA, and that's an OEM design - more cuda cores and lower clocks than a standard 660, you can push it to almost 760-tier speed with OC. 

they're all hovering around 50GBP

idk

So none of these, even a GTX 480 for 20?

480 is around 660 tier performance but it's such an old card now that I wouldn't recommend it. Even used I don't touch 40nm (400,  500, 5000, 6000) cards, they're ticking time bombs. 7970s are the lowest I would recommend due to them even starting to kick the bucket.

Idk, ik they are old which is why I wouldn't touch them without a warranty. So no eBay but i thought with a warranty (2 years) from Cex it'd be worth it. Also a lot of people say better old HD cards are always better than newer worse HD cards (within a couple gens off)
