[SOLVED] Best Animation Graphics card under/around $200?

[Kryssen]

Hi my name is Kryssen, I am looking for a not too expensive graphics card so I can animate my short films and cartoons.

I am aware that graphics cards have risen in price lately and it's not a good time to buy them, but unfortunately my newly built computer keeps crashing, and I'm certain the reason is the graphics card, it's an "NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960 ". It is the only part from my old computer. I even changed out the thermal paste which only helped a little, but did not prevent it from crashing.

Could I get some suggestions for good graphics cards I can use?

I suggest starting a troubleshooting thread, could be many things wrong. Power supply is often a culprit in unexpected behavior.

$200 isn't going to get you much unless you luck out on ebay. GTX1050Ti maybe, which is similar to the performance you have now. (Also one of the most faked cards, so stick to name brands and recognizable models)
