So I have Evga Geforce 560ti that is currently dying on me as far as I can tell.

I love the card dearly and its done a great job but recently my PC crashed on me and now when I boot up the card is showing vertical red dots in Windows and the Nvidia Drivers don't show up.

Device manager in Windows 10 shows Error Code 43. Tried the card in another very similar rig and far as I can tell the same results occur.

So I am looking to get a new card and hoping to get some advice as I have not looked at graphics cards in a long time and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.


APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: October to November 2016

BUDGET RANGE: Looking to spend as low as $150.00 to upwards of $250.00 (after taxes and before rebates)

USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Games I play are Counterstrike:GO, Farcry 3, Sniper Elite 3, Diablo 2, Skyrim, Various Steam Games.


CPU - Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366
Motherboard - Asus Sabertooth X58
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series DDR3 1600MHz - PART #: F3-12800CL9T-12GBRL (3x 4GB = Total 12 GB RAM)
SSD - Corsair Force Series Sata 3 Solid State Drive
Graphics Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti FPB 1024MB GDDR5 (01G-P3-1561-KR)
Power Supply - Corsair Professional Series HX850 Modular 850 Watt 80PLUS Silver Certified Power Supply (CMPSU-850HX)
Case - Cooler Master HAF X
HeatSink - Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 4 Heat Pipes CPU Cooler
Generic CD/DVD Burner
Operating System: Windows 10 Pro Edition 64bit

PARTS PREFERENCES: Prefer EVGA but not too picky.

PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: www.canadacomputers.com or www.ncix.com or any Canadian Authorized Retailer.

OVERCLOCKING: Would be nice but not necessary. I prefer to use a single card but if SLI/Crossfire capable that would nice if needed in the future.

MONITOR RESOLUTION: I believe the screen resolution I use is 1920x1080 or 1024x768. Would check but the GPU is not functioning correctly.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: I want a card that I can use for the next 3 years or can be recycled for a later build if I decide to build a new pc. Limited life time warranty would be nice if offered or minimum 3 years warranty.

Cards I have looked at that I am considering but am not sure if they would work or if I could get something better for the money I am willing to spend.

$249.99 after $10 rebate, if you can stretch the extra this is best bang/buck



The rx 470 is a truly excellent 1080p card.

Is there any cards you could suggest that I could purchase within my $150.00 to $250.00 budget from www.canadacomputers.com or www.ncix.com?

I am just not sure about cards nowadays and what could work for older hardware.
