    Which Video Card Would You Go With?

    Thank you, I have just bought a replacement video card. I got the EVGA GTX 560 for only $130 with rebate, so I consider that a good deal considering that it had better benchmark results then my old EVGA GTX 285. Thank you all for your input.

    Which Video Card Would You Go With?

    Wow jtenorj, thank you for this extensive answer. I appreciate that you accounted for the possibility of a failing PSU and/or my GPU. I will probably end up testing my PSU and swapping my video card out into other systems to test it out. While your right that I should probably swap out both my...

    Which Video Card Would You Go With?

    Thanks guys for all the advice, but at this point I'm starting to think that it isn't even my graphics card that's failing. I opened another thread about it here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/348253-28-graphics-card .

Also I have a sd card reader in the front of my chassis; usually when my computer boots theres a red light signalling it is on...

    Is it my PSU or Graphics Card

    Ok so just yesterday I thought (and used to think) that my Graphics Card is starting to die. Evertime I run a game it loads fine, but then after a minute or two I start seeing wierd large dots of all colors and lines and just alot of messed up stuff. So I rolled back my drivers, did a 3D Mark...

    Which Video Card Would You Go With?

    Do you personally have this card? I am asking because I have heard some bad reviews about SOME ( not all ) ati cards. I'd like to ask someone who is currently using the card.

    Which Video Card Would You Go With?

    Let me ask this a different way. My GTX 285 can play battlefield 3 at med settings pretty nicely (just an example). What card at a good price would match or surpass a result like that? Would the 560 be able to match or surpass that, 560ti?

    Which Video Card Would You Go With?

    I am on a buget here, im looking to spend no more than $180 dollars, so theres one reason I can't go with the GTX 6xx series. As for the ATI Graphics cards, like I said, id rather not go that route.

    Which Video Card Would You Go With?

    Im deciding between a few video cards at the moment (my GTX 285 is on the verge of death) and I was selecting a few that I liked at Newegg. Here are the ones I like, which one is the best for the price. Any suggestions for a better one other than ATI. Also is the 2GB worth it if the only...
