[Fuck] I think my video card is dying :(

Took the card out, blew air into the cooler as best I could (can't take it off because it requires some special screwdriver, zomg my right to repair!). Got 1 crash almost instantly, then played for about 2 hours fine, then another crash just now.

HWMonitor shows peak temp at 85 °C for the entire period, but it's been like that for a while.

Time to look for a replacement, woo...

This guy is a retard.

The AMD Radeon VII is solid and cheaper than 1080 Ti.

Most of the time it comes down to money. How much are you willing to spend for -10% to 20% difference (yes, negative, not all titles are created equally).

Only retards will spend $1500 on a 2080 Ti.

Radeon VII isn't the next best thing. It's competition for the 1080 Ti which is currently tied for second with the 2080.

I don't know how poor or wealthy Amadeus is, but I've learned long ago to just buy a solid, more expensive card (not THE most expensive), because you'll love the performance and it will hold a lot of its value in a couple years when you want to sell it and upgrade.

A card from 1-2 generations ago will be more bang for the buck though, no?

Also, I'm running a quad core 3.8 GHz CPU and 8GB RAM. Would that not bottleneck a current gen powerhouse GPU?
 
Nah, my machine's just a bit old. And it could handle everything I threw at it so far, so I had no reason to upgrade. :shrug:
 
ok then

buy one of fedrerereer's cards

it's like $300 to buy a decent card and maybe $1200 to build a decent computer

are u running xp still

Quad core doesn't mean anything.

I have a feeling your PC is a potato.

What is your budget?
 
all the ppl will call me a liar but a good 1060 plays everything in high settings. the only reason i have a 1080 in my machine was because it did terrible as a mining card.
