I am having a video card/driver issue with a EVGA GTX260+ card in a
i7-920 build on an Asus P6T mainboard and a CMPSU-750TX power supply.
I've been through all the usual suspects. EVGA is recommending an RMA.
I don't want to be without use of this computer for the some weeks it
will take to do the RMA process. So I will need to choose a temporary
replacement card for this system running Windows 7 64 bit. I can resell
it later or keep it for a future build. But it should be a minimal cost
card that can do a workman's job on daily tasks.
Oh(and Windows Aero - [Or is that a bad joke?])
Any recommendations?

I'd get the following. It will do every-day tasks just fine. You
could even do some minimal gaming with it at low settings. It will be
easy to re-sell later, also. -Dave
