Hi there, I'm hoping someone can advise me on a new graphics card purchase. I built my last rig over 5 years ago now (Core i7 920, 8GB RAM) and also purchased an ATI HD4870. The GPU has served me well over the years but the poor thing is constantly noisy now, despite cleaning the card and fans, underclocking it etc.
As I have been out of the hardware loop for so long, my question is simple: is it possible to get a graphics card around the £75 mark that is better performance-wise than the HD4870? I figured that 5 years is a long time in the GPU scene- things may have improved significantly! Preferably, I would love a card that switches off its fans automatically when in 'desktop mode'.
Thanks in advance for your help.
