GTX480 died

[discobiscuits]

Hi guys im not very upto date with gfx cards theses days but my gtx480 seems to have died. Loads to windows login then looses signal and never makes it to desktop. got a 8400GS in at the moment haha.

Looks for a new card about £100 I see there is the gtx770 or amd r9 270x. Any recommendations or others? mostly playing LoL some borderlands 2 etc and GW2. guessing my AMD FX6300@4Ghz is limiting anyways?

thanks

Try bringing back the 480 by putting it in the oven for 10 minutes @200c, but 1st remove the cooler and just make sure its only the pcb what go's in.

Nice card for the money considering it's the OC edition.

Check lengths of the cards against what your case can fit.

Ok i can bake tomorrow morning!!

Ok Stu I think anything will fit have a big thermtake and that 480 was a triple fan monster.

Reckon my power supply will be ok with the 770 I only have 1 6 and 1 8 pin
