well it died. Shame its really look after me for the last 6 years.

System:
Asus Z97-K MB
i5 4690 CPU
16gb Ram

I play games like neverwinter, GTA4. A few steam games. I really liked having 2 DVI ports.

So for similar performance for very little cash what can I get away with?

Thanks in advance,

GTX770 2GB/4GB on the famous auction site for £80-£100 is a refresh of the gtx680 and slightly faster.

mrbazmondo - Op states for "very little cash". 200 notes isnt very little cash :)

It depends how much money you're prepared to spend, but something like a 3GB GTX1060 would be a worthy consideration if buying new.

Second-hand is another option. You could also check out the members market. These options should be better where your pocket is concerned, so therefore perhaps the way to go.

The Op asks for "similar performance" and "very little cash". New GTX 1060 3GB minimum £200+ - Not very little cash. Second hand 3GB GTX 1060 - £140+ Not very little cash. Performance is 50% faster than the GTX680.

You're right, £200 isn't little cash to most people, but if he wants at least the performance he had (nothing slower anyway) and is buying new, then a GTX1050Ti / 3GB GTX1060 or AMD equivalent are his only options. Note that I did advise the second-hand/members market route as the preferred option. :)

You've got access to the members market look there and the famous auction site should be able to get a gtx 780 for less than £100 which is worth spending just a tad more if it means getting a 780 as opposed to a 680 or 770 never know when you could do with the extra oomph

So I shouln't suggest anything from OC?

"Very little cash" is relative unless an actual budget is suggested, considering the price of a 1080ti.
