I currently have a HIS 3870 which has decent enough specs...

512mb, ddr4, 850 and 1200!

I been looking at a basic dx11 upgrade for around £30, around the 5/6k series, is there any that would b worth while even considering? seen some 1g and 2g varients but with lesser specs!

Money is a bit tight atm and am looking to overhaul my machine at the end of the year, hence the low price.

it plays all my games great, few on lower settings but I aint fussed. it does however crash on the odd accasion, ever since I first bought it, have another bought at the same time which was actually faulty, but dint have a lot of time and never managed to return them!

appreciated.

thought as much lol, damn card! its been overheating since I bought it, along with the other back in 2008 from here! done the usual cleaning and reapplied some arctic paste on the heatsinks too! also, can only use ati as I have an 'MSI K9A2 Platinum AMD 790FX (Socket AM2) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard' which was all bought together! not being aware that I was limited to only ati cards :) but I don't mind tbh, I do prefer them, albeit the NVidia boards are coming in quite reasonable! thanks for ur reply.

just thinking there tbh, would it b a case of checking the pcie versions? and if theyre ok should b able to?
