got a faulty GTX 460, replacement?

[ShiWarrior]

I have come to a conclusion that my GFX card is faulty

I want to replace it, but I don't need to replace it with anything super fast, I don't mind if its a bit faster, but I want to spend as little as possible

What would you recommend to me?

thanks

how much do you want to spend?

you can get 480's second hand on the MM for like £80 i think 580's for 90ish and so on

 

[ShiWarrior]

not sure on budget really, ideally nothing, but I strictly wont go above £50

I bought this one second hand, so thinking of going new this time

I don't know how old these cards are, what's the replacement card for it from todays shop?

Why did you reach that conclusion? You've not upgraded your drivers past 314.22 have you?

An equivalent speed card these days would probably be something like an AMD 7790 or an Nvidia 650 Ti, I imagine new they're around the £100 mark.

Second hand for £50 you could get an AMD 6870, or 560Ti.

cant install any drivers, but when I do it crashes, when I finally got it running it would crash running bench marks or installing drivers for it


everything seems to be pointing to it and ive hard odd graphics appear when rebooting etc

I am looking at this

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-220-EA&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=2392

as its replacement, good card or is there a better card for the same money?

 

[InfiniteNoise]

I have the same GTX 650 Ti, it's a nice card, but at that price it's probably better to go with 7850 for £10-20 more, and it's faster.

 

[ShiWarrior]

I don't really want to go with amd
is there another NVidia card I could go with instead?
I'll give it some thought though

cheers

 

[ShiWarrior]

well if I do go and get a 7850 which one would you choose?

 

[InfiniteNoise]

Either HIS or MSI will do fine, they're also the cheapest 7850 on OCUK.

If you want to stay with Nvidia, there isn't much else in that price range, maybe except a 650 Ti Boost for a bit more, or a 2nd hand GTX 470/480/560 Ti/570, these cards are much better.
