    Is my graphics card dead? Or is something else causing my problems?

    before you get ahead of yourself, make sure that you dont have a weird overclock or in some cases under-clock on you GPU's. I had a similar problem and it ended up being afterburner (for whatever reason) set all my frequencies to 200mhz. do a clean driver install in safe mode. MUST BE DONE IN...

    Looking for good graphic card

    IMO you shouldn't bother getting less than 4gb of vram. I recommend the r9 380's if anything if you're on a tight budget. If you are really that tight the 260x may be a better option, although i have not played around with the 750ti at all. you can get a sapphire r9 380 for like $230 CAN

    Low FPS tried everything need help!

    I have put together my first gaming rig with what i thought to be unstoppable for 1080p gaming. I cant get any game to run steady above 40fps. Just Cause 3 runs at about 10-20 fps and Skyrim (heavily modded) runs at 30-7, while never exceeding 20 within the holds. I have tried basically...

    Skyrim low FPS with 2x4Gb GPU

    Experiencing 10-20 Fps in Skyrim heavily modded on ultra. same result on lower setting. Slight improvements running vanilla. I have the game installed on my storage HDD rather than my tiny SSD, I was told that isn't the problem. I have a pretty beefy rig, 4ghz CPU (AMD FX 8350) and 2x4GB GPU...
