Turns out the Radeon HD 7850 is fine and it's google chrome that is issue. Anyways I got two paths to play Doom 4. 1) Buy a second Radeon HD 7850 used for $70 2) Buy a new card and sell off Radeon HD 7850. Someone has got a used GTX 780 for $150, which isn't much more then a GTX 950 or GTX 960. Should be able to fit one 12' video card in, by removing Upper SSD/HDD Caddy. There is a 3.5 external bay too, not sure if I can remove without having to remove the guts first. One of my concerns is ventilation, I have one 120mm fan near motherboard. Planning to add a front 120mm fan later on, once I order the long case fan screws. Side fans are worthless since 120mm would not be strong enough due to physics. (Top, Front or Back would be ideal spots). The top fan slots are too close to motherboard to mount, unless mounting on an angle. So basically the case maxes out at two 120mm fans. If ventilation is major issue then I might consider a HAF series case, Cube shaped cases ect. I would prefer a case with fewer larger fans (140-230mm) vs many 120mm fans. It all depends if the Ostrog case will not turn into a steam room with two cards or one higher end one.

Title says it all. Got a Radeon HD 7850 (PowerColor) and it flickers on pages that are very white or just for heck of it. Updated to Radeon Software 16.6.1 still flickering away. Don't really want to have to call M$ tech support, to get permission to make hardware changes. But will if needed to do so. I have a legal version of Windows 7 Pro 64bit OEM. All I want to do is end the flickering, reinstall OS on HDD instead of small SSD (too few space for gaming). If I gotta swap card I was think of one of the following: GTX 750 (kinda a junker but powerful for a tiny card) GTX 760 (compact or regular version) GTX 950 (Meets modern game requirements better then GTX 750) GTX 960 (Seen a few EVGA compact ones) Yeah I'd love a GTX 770 or 780 but only have two 120mm fans in case and lack enough room for 780 jumbo cards.
