My needs are very modest so I only paid around GBP20 for anĀ nVidia card
over 10 years ago. I soon started having problems with the display
especially using LibreOffice or was it OpenOffice in those days? I paid
another GBP20 on an ATI/AMD card and it's been perfect ever since.

So, I'd go with Liam.
