    Graphic card upgrade

    hey guys i currently have the MSI TWIN FROZR 7870 3gb card, and recently my computer kept turning off, like completely blacking out so i upgraded everything apart from the graphic card and now it is still happening so my guess is that it is broken/ damaged. i only have a £150 pound budget for graphic card no more so can someone please give me a good recommendation. thankyou

    You sure its not a faulty power supply?

    Do you have another one that you can plug in and test? Also what did you upgrade exactly?

    Cant help pinpoint the problem without more information regarding the types of upgrades you did.

    GTX 760 sounds like the best card in your price range TBH. It's an upgrade of your current one.

    i feel like i wasted my money abit aswell, but now i can only stretch that much for a graphic card but atleast it will be better than the one i have, The main use i will have for the card will be playing warlords, i tend to play league time to time but thats about it. what will i notice difference in with the gtx 760?.

    The 760 can handle the Ultra Textures in WoD and the only bottlenecking you should see is from the CPU (typical). Can handle a lot of newer games on Ultra as well. BF4 ~45fps on Ultra 1080p.
