....shouldn't be too hard, lol.

Having fired up CS:S for a blast, the old 7200 struggles a wee bit, it's not as smooth as I'd like even with all settings on lowest. I just wondered if anybody had any old cards kicking around that might do the job?

Don't really want to buy a new card as it's not really worth it :/

I've got a 9700 Pro sitting in a cupboard somewhere at home. Yours for a beer or two on Saturday?

Yeah mate, would be cool :)

That should be more than enough to cope :D

Ok, I'll dig it out tonight and bring it with me on Saturday.

9700 Pro's are still decent enough cards, won't run the newest games but will certainly cope with older stuff like CS:S perfectly fine :)

Not bothered about any newer games really. Would just like CS:S so run a bit smoother :)

I had the 9700pro running HL2 at 1280x1024 and it was smooth as a babie's bottom.

Did it smell like a baby's bottom?

I have just taken Jodies old 9800 Non-Pro (Flashed to Pro) out of her machine to give her my new old one :D. £25 inc postage should cover it i think.

EDIT

Just noticed Burbleflops offer, can't compete with that.

I've got the card packed up and ready to go. I couldn't find the driver CD but it should be too hard to find them for download.

It will run the newest games, just not in the highest settings.
