I am casual gamer,thats why brought this card. But now the card is not working well. During games its crusing.!!
is my old pci-ex slot in my mobo could be a problem??
 
Its not a gaming card unfortunately. I wont go and recommend some 200£ card but you would at least need a 6770/550ti to game casually and smoothly at reasonable settings. if you want to bump the graphics up to max at 1080p, a 7870 or 660ti are good mid range cards for around the 230£ mark.
