Good afternoon Guys,
I have (HAD!) a HD4780X2 2GB card in my pc which cost me about £350 a few years ago. Unfortunately, it has been on the way out for a while.
Massive boot problems, massive artifects...
Won't run games or benchmark. It basically overheats just 30 secs after boot up and the fan appears to be working. After just 30 secs the fan output and the card is hotter than the sun! I think maybe something inside it has been cooked
?
I bought it 2 years and 2 months ago. Is there any way it is still in ASUS or Overclockers warrentee? Long shot I know.
I am resigning to having to buy a new GFX ! I cannot afford anything like £250 anymore.
Can anybody recommend a good gfx that will be able to keep up with it for around the £100 mark ? (Ie. Same performance level) I hope gfx have improved in 2 years to do this!
I don't really need a 2GB card as I don't run any games other than TFC2, CS etc but I still want something good.
Please can somebody recommend something that would be able to match my old card for a fraction of the price.
I will donate a kidney for your efforts.
Thank you.
