Your system will handle a 7870 XT just fine, however if you can afford the extra id recommend getting a 7950 instead.

I hear xt was 7800 series but with some 79 seis chip..... And it cost roughly about 200 or less .... I dnt wanna go over it .... I am not sure about 7950 price and how much is the diff between both gpu on perfomanc and price .... I am not really a hardcore gamer xD

If you sell the games that come with this 7950 then you'll be looking at about £190 for a faster card which will last you longer.

Not sure about the length, sorry. Maybe someone else can advise on that, either that or google is your friend.

With regards to the cards. Budget 7950. Slightly more expensive but better cooler 7950.

The twin frozr should be fine and not too loud, however the best cooler for quietness would either be this or this.

Just to make sure ...it will run fine in my spec right with no trouble ?

Why do i feel like this is becoming a contract and any problems you have will see me end up in court?

It should be fine with your spec.

Panda90uk · 2 Jul 2013 at 15:31

Have you plugged both external power cables into the card? Is it seated in the socket properly?

Yuukee · 2 Jul 2013 at 15:36

Yes both checked .....still not responding ...fan works fine

Orcvader · 2 Jul 2013 at 15:55

How are you connecting the card to the monitor? Have you tried an alternative connection?

Maybe a BIOS update might help?

Why are you typing in bold green

?
