Hey,
Looking for advice on upgrading from my R9 290x 8gb
Recently upgraded everything else (ryzen 5 1600, 16g ram, screen with 1440 res)
But the card is struggling, shows as constantly at 100% use, and hitting 90 degrees easily, so im having to under clock a little now, even tried reapplying thermal pastes. just always 100% and hot while gaming.
And some games framerate struggle at such his res.
My budget will be around £150/£200 + whatever the r9 sells for (£130 maybe?)
What can i get for that these days, second hand is also acceptable.
Cheers
