Okay all you pc geeks, I'm sure many of you have tried more graphic cards than I can research. I am running an old AMD HD5 5700 series card. Now this was a great card but unfortunately it just don't have enough power to drive anything new. Looking at the new battlefield 1 game.
I would like to get at minimum a R9 290 4gb, not sure I want a gtx so lets just stay with AMD. Fan cooled no water. Computer is a dell studio xps originally with win 7,(10 now) has a i7 2.8ghz processor.
I've seen the R9 370 much cheaper than the 290, but also see there were much more problems with the 370. Trying to stay under 300, 250 be better. So to all you pc geeks what graphics card would you recommend.
pc express slot and I am not sure on the power connectors. I will have to shut down and look I know I seen at least the 4 pin hook up, didn't see a second. So If you need any more technical info I can probably get but I am a novice at best with hardware. I know how to swap out cards memory sticks and repair fans but a lot of the terms are greek to me.
Any help would be appreciated thanks
