Hi all
after a quick chat yesterday , I'm looking for advice and suggestions on replacing the gfx card I've had die on me last night after several years hard labour on it.
The card that died was a Radeon HD 6950.. yeh i know, I said several years use..!
its currently on a Motherboard: Gigabyte X79-UD3 Intel X79 (Socket 2011) DDR3 Motherboard Intel Core i7 3820 Quad Core CPU, old to 4.2ghz with 16gb RAM. Have in mind this is PCIe 2.1i believe
I was looking a GTX 1070ti 8gb card but doubtful is the compatibility on the Pcie 3.0 with this card?
I really don't want to go down the route of a new motherboard, as I've no idea what I'm doing there, Im just new gfx card, unslot , put new one in, instal drivers and away we go... etc..
so suggestions on a replacement card in the £200-£400 bracket compatible with the above.
Advice much appreciated
