New card

[Rannoch]

I was overclocking my 6970 last night, blue screened on me, never thought anything of it but this morning there's a horrid line across the screen so I've knackered it.

Was looking at a 690 before but at that price its a little off putting.

Rig is 3770k, asus board, sli or xfire an option. I don't mind overclocking the new card or cards, just need something very fast that will last.

Any ideas cheers

RMA your card and sell the replacement.

Do you game on one screen? What resolution?

What games do you play?

What's your price limit? HD7970?

Hi Rusty

Card was from fleabay

1080p for now, fps shooters really on one screen.

Get a 7950, HIS ICEQ
Its a lot faster than your 6970 and you can crossfire down the line

Cheers guys

So a 7950 is a good bet, how far do they go for overclocking? Still fancy a GTX 690 though lol
