I've just cobbled together a computer using old parts I had laying around and installed Yosemite. My on-board graphics are unsupported so I'm running in software mode.

Please can somebody suggest an old Graphics Card that works with Yosemite OOB? I'm trying to avoid typing in boot commands etc. I just want to bung it in and boot up into hardware mode.

I'm only using it for Internet, email and iTunes so no fancy graphics required - hoping to spend approx £20 on ebay for an old card. Please also specify a brand.

Many thanks
 
Nvidia Geforce GT 610 works Vanilla and out of the box with OS-X.

GeForce 210 used to work OOB, I think it still does. You can get one new for your budget price:

And as alex37751 suggested, the GeForce 610 is a good choice, available new for just a little more than your budget:
