Need some GPU advice.

[Touie]

Hi guys,

I've been having problems with what i think is my graphics card, so i'm going to be returning it for tests etc which can take up to 28 days... So i'm looking at a possible replacement/upgrade.

My specs are:
Intel i7 4790k
Asus Radeon R9 290 DirectCU II OC 4096MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card
x2 AOC 24" Widescreen 144Hz 1ms Gaming LED Monitor
Gigabyte Z97X-Gaming 5 Intel Z97 (Socket 1150)
EVGA SuperNova G2 850W
NZXT H440 Mid Tower Case.

So i'm not sure whats my best bet, rx 480? Xfire 480's? Gtx 1070? Or just stop being impatient and wait for mine to hopefully be repaired
Any advice would be great. Thanks.

The problem i'm having is a BSOD(Thread stuck in device driver) which supposedly is either to do with the video drivers or the card itself. I've tried every solution i can find with no joy. I'm just waiting on RMA details from OC. And sorry i should have mentioned that the screens are full HD. I would like to upgrade at some point but dont think it will be any time soon.

Yeah, i've done a driver wipe with no luck. Both monitors are 1080p so i'm guessing the 1080 would be a bit overkill? So its looking like a 1070? Any recommendations on which one?

Thanks for the replies guys.

Thanks for all the replies guys, i've gone for the Gigabyte g1 gaming 1070. Hopefully should keep me going for a while. I've also looked at maybe upgrading my ram to 16gb. I'm currently using 2x4gb kingston hyperX PC3 2400MHz, any recommendations on a worthy upgrade?

Thanks again for all your help.
