I had a guts full of the Saphire 1950Pro (256MB) fitted in my sons machine.
I thought I had cooling problems with it in stock configuration so replaced the HSF with a Accelero S1 Rev. 2 but now it's black screening when in games, the only error reported is an ATI related infinite loop. It'll sit for hours okay in Windows but a minute or two in a game and it's gone.
I took my time over fitting the cooler and I know I could fit a fan to that but, to be honest, I'm sick of this thing now and am just going to replace it with a naturally cooler card.
What's the minimum current equivalent performance wise I should be looking at, preferably will jump it over to an nVidia but if an ATI is still recommended then I'm willing to give them a second chance, just something that is better built cooling wise...
I'm a bit out of the loop with the later ATI cards etc. since I got my 8800GTX last year but the 3850Pros (256MB) for around £76 seem a good spec/£...?
Thanks all...
