This past few months I've been saving up to upgrade my aging D0 920 i7 set-up but it seems it will have to wait since my Palit GTX670 is about to die I think.
Since November last year I have been encountering several driver crashes, BSOD, and CTDs. I did driver updates, driver roll-backs, reformats and even went so far as to reseat my GPU. It sometimes provide a temporary fix, but the problem will resurface again in a couple of days or weeks. Longest it got was 2 months without any crash. I consulted these crashes 4 months ago here on this site and followed the instructions suggested but the problem is still here.
The money I saved up for a new CPU, Mobo and RAM is enough to get me a GTX 770 4gb version (or an AMD equivalent in terms of price.). Should I upgrade my video card now because of these errors or wait for the next batch of GPUs? What do you guys think?
I'm just a student so it takes me a while to save enough money for my PC.
My current system:
Intel i7 D0 920 (2.8gb stock speed)
Foxconn Bloodrage LGA 1366 mobo
3 (2GB) Patriot RAM 1600 Tri-channel
Corsair HX620W PSU
Windows Vista 64bit Professional
