Hi all. This is my 1st thread/post.
I'm looking to acquire a new GPU. It doesn't have to be cutting edge but I'd like something a bit beefier than what I'm using just now. My current GPU is the Radeon HD 7770 @ 3GHz, which has an apparent size of 8.3" x 4.4". I'm just looking for something a little bit better than the 7770, maybe the 7850, but that particular card wont fit in my case. My friend let me borrow a spare GPU he had, the 7850 (I think), but it wouldnt fit in my case so that's why I need a GPU that's the same size as my current one. I really dont want to have to buy a new case because I'm planning on building an entirely new system next year. In the meantime I'm just looking for something that's a little bit better than the 7770 but wont break the bank, so to speak.
Can anyone recommend a relatively decent GPU that is better than the 7770 but has the exact dimensions of 8.3" x 4.4"?
My PC:
Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Processor @ 3.2GHz
ASUS 880 GM-LE Motherboard
4GB Crucial DDR3 1333MHz
AMD Radeon HD 7700 @ 3GHz
2Tb Toshiba SATA HDD
Tesla ATX 750w PSU
22" Toshiba Widescreen LCD TV
My rig isn't cutting edge but it'll do for now. I'm going to build a new system next year but for now I'm looking for a slightly better GPU that is the same size as the one I have currently. My case is just a generic medium sized one. It's not great but it's more than adequate for now.
If anyone could recommend a GPU i would appreciate it.
Thanks for reading. Merry Christmas
