thanks, its a good thing I didn't just go out an buy a budget card then ��

I have thought about possibly buying a good second hand card as this machine I have isn't brand new and if I bought the latest I know the motherboards doesn't support PCI-Express 3 (they would still work but I wouldn't get the full benefit). Would ebay/CEX be the best place to look for good second hand cards or are there other places? Is there some sort of "league table" of cards and performance. What should I look out for? At the moment I've just been looking at the cards memory size.
