My Sapphire HD 7870 GHz Edition for a refund, it's been very problematic and the AMD drivers are awful.
I'm going to be buying an Nvidia card, long story short, the flight sim I play runs a lot less buggy with Nvidia cards.
There's a great deal atm where I can get a GTX 580 for £99, however its 244W TDP would take my overall wattage to about 420W. I'm using a 430W Corsair PSU. Is it worth the risk? I can trust Corsair in saying the PSU really delivers 430W, but it's very tight.
Honestly, I don't need that much performance, I'm only playing flight sims and racing games, but I'd like my PC to be capable of playing something like BF4 1980x1080 on high/ultra with at least 40fps.
So other alternatives include the new 750ti, which I really like because it provides good performance (not too far off a 7870 in some games) and uses just 60W, then there's also the 660. These cards are £125 and £115 respectively. I don't want to go over £130, as this is the money I get back from my 7870.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated
