second gfx card thats faulty want to get a different model so what card do you recomm

[wigster]

at the moment i have a HIS ATI Radeon X1950 Pro 512mb pcie,when i got it for the first 3days the fan was quite then it got noisy, i got it replaced and once again the first 3days it was ok but ive got the same problem. im going to see what overclockers can do ive told them i want a full refund

if i do what card do you recommened for the same price or close as £162 doesn't have to be a ATI card

i know a lot of people have had problems with fan clipping noise

 

[wigster]

i see its 320mb and the one i have is 512mb is there any drawbacks

 

[wigster]

cheers lets hope overclockers will give me a full refund i had a NVIDIA card before,i think im now put off by ATI

 

[wigster]

cheers guess what im getting a refund so ill be getting that card

 

[wigster]

no im going to go with the 320MB because im waiting to get the samsung monitor when it comes in if it does lol

do you think i should wait untill i get the refund before i order the new one?

 

[wigster]

in the mean time im going to be having my slugish laptop at the moment my crt is a image quest q995,but i will be getting the samsung sm226bw

would you think they would test it again?

 

[wigster]

i got a e-mail from overclockers saying they will have to check it before they give me a refund,so ill wait untill i know for sure they are going to refund me,the noise has died down but you can hear it when you turn the computer off

 

[wigster]

well to make sure ive got the side case of yep im not worried the noise is there not as loud as my first one but it could get that way, you cant really hear it with the case on but i think its because of my fans

they should able to hear it aswell when they turn their machine off when the fan on the card slows down

sounds like a car ticking over

better ask one more question my pc can handle the 880GTS

my specs
Asus A8N-SLI Premium
AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3700+
ATI HIS x1950pro
2GB ram
