Its been a while and out of the loop - Budget of 150 Notes

[Gipo]

Allo all,

I last upgraded my setup about 6 or 7 years ago - GTX 670 looks to have bit the dust (it started with Direct X errors in games, and today it just doesn't output anything so now using onboard gfx).

My CPU will probably bottleneck quite a lot, being an i5 4690K - but I don't do heavy gaming, just any free stuff that the Epic store has on offer (been deep into GTA V recently, and now I can't play... hah, just my luck).

So - What would give me at least the equivalent performance on GTA V (from memory, it was on 1080, most settings on 'normal')? Not too fussed on maxxing settings, as long as its smooth and playable!

PSU is a Coolermaster 500W 80 Plus Bronze.

TIA!

Thanks folks - I think for the time being I have bought a bit more time... turns out I hadn't seated my 670 properly, and plugging/unplugging hdmi loosened it. Now have done the right thing and secured the backplate with a thumbscrew (as it should have been in the first place), and card is up and running hah.

Touch wood it continues to run for now (until I *really* need to get a new card - still tempted mind you!)
