My gfx card died after a long time out of the game

[gibbingslfc]

Hey guys,

I haven't bought a component for my PC is about 4 years because of financial constraints. The card that just died was the
Sapphire Radeon HD 7970 [link]. It seems I'm now forced to spend the money at a point time when I'd rather not be buying graphics cards but there we go.

Id preferably want an NVIDIA card as I would like to do CUDA development on my machine. As a bonus It'd be nice if it's 100% Linux friendly but I'm not that fussed.

Whats the most bang for my buck at the moment?
I'm on a budget of ~£400

Cheers everyone

At OCUK you're limited to a 1060 6Gb at the moment, with that budget.

I've just finished reassembling an old (dead) gpu after throwing it in the oven. Seems to be working OK for the time being. Might be worth trying?

I brought my old 7950 back to life using the oven method too. I got about another six months out of it before it died again. I then baked it again and back to life it came.
