when things start to go wrong its never ending and tonight my nvidia gtx 295 1792mb graphics card stopped working.

 

Ive had a shit time recently with other stuff going on and this just about did it for me.

 

I play BF4 /cod2/cod4/cod5/crysis etc.

 

Please can anyone advise on a replacement either equivalent or a bit of an upgrade id prefer Nvidia not Radeon.

 

I have no clue about cards as I bought this gtx 295  2nd hand and before that i was using a 8800 gtx.

 

I have a 850w power supply

 

asus p5nt deluxe m/board

 

intel q9300 quad core processor 2.5ghz

 

8gb ram.

 

Id love to be able to just plug in a replacement with the existing power cables etc as Im no Pc expert and  the card is so old the ones on ebay are mainly for spares so doesnt look like I can get another Nvida  GTX 295

 

Id really appreciate any help or  suggestion I'm UK England

 

best regards and thank you in advance.

 

Rockape

Check out the GTX 960. I'm guessing you want a cheap g-card that does the job then the GTX 960 is the one for you.
