Hi all, I have an asus p8p67 pro v3.0 mobo and my GeForce GTX 780 has just died. What are my options for a replacement please? I have a corsair ax850 psu and an i7 2600k cpu memory is 16 gb of ddr 1600 ram. I know this is an old rig by today's standards but I have been playing bf1 quite happily without problems.

Your recommendations please.

Yes and no. Drivers are specific to the card still. And that big of a gap you'll still need to download the correct drivers. That's why on Nvidia's driver page you still need to specify which GPU you have, GeForce Experience will auto-detect it, but with an Nvidia driver it is more likely you'll be able to plug it in and it will work, and then allow you to clean the drivers and install the new ones.

You can also type in DDU into google and it will be the first thing that pops up, by guru3d.
Hi, and thanks for your help. I have successfully installed my new GTX1060 6gb card. I used the DDU utility and it all installed just fine. I will mark this thread as solved. Thank you all again for your help!
