Hey all.
I've realised my graphics card doesn't meet the min spec for fallout 4. It's served me well all these years even if it does sound like a jet engine when I play planetside 2.

Can you give me any pointers as what I should go for?
It needs to be a) fallout 4 capable b)cheap c)quiet and preferably d) not second hand
I've currently got a HIS ATI Radeon HD 6870 1024MB
Rest of spec:
Intel Core i5-4690K 3.50GHz (Devil's Canyon) Socket LGA1150 Processor - Retail

Gigabyte Z97M-D3H Intel Z97 (Socket 1150) DDR3 Micro ATX Motherboard

TeamGroup Elite Black 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

It needs to fit in quite a small case, the HIS card just about fits, just, so smaller would be better.

Oh and budget is as little as possible and not over £150! Sadly having two kids has put a dent in my gaming fund.
Thanks!
 
Tbh not bothered about which ones best for f4. Just has to play it and fit.
I'm not going to only play fallout on my PC but ATM it's the only game I want to play but can't with my current setup.
Normal I play planetside and dirty bomb, everything else is older.
 
Having taken a look inside the case it looks like I've more space than I thought. The issue is the way I've routed the cables. May move them and that'll give me more space.
 
ok so the question has now changed then.
budget is the same (lets say £160)
what's the quietest card?
