A cheap but good enough card to run Maya 2009.

Mate of mine has a mobo with integrated graphics and can't run Maya well at all.

Budget is no more than £60. Can't afford a good professional card in this range. What are the options?

9500 GT 1GB
9600 GT 512
4670 512

Any others to consider?

He doesn't game on his PC, so maybe something even more basic and cheaper than the above?

Get a HD3850 and Soft mod it to a FireGL V8600 with less VRAM.

Same goes for the HD3870.

Cheapest you can find, assuming you're willing to soft/hard mod it.

The selection is just way too small and cheap. No way it could run maya.
