    GPU has died, replacement required.

    Hi there,

    Just outside of the two year warranty, my Sapphire R7 265 2GB has died (well it works for a few minutes before my screens go blank). This means that I'm in the market for a new card.

    My current system is :-
    MB: MSI 770-C45
    CPU: AMD Athlon X4 635
    RAM: 4 x 2GB DDR3
    GPU: RIP
    PSU: Corsair 400W (CMPSU-400CXUK)
    Dual monitors (Acer 1920x1080, Samsung 1680x1050)

    PC will used for some gaming, the old card could run Fifa at 60fps comfortably, hoping for more of the same.

    I'm looking for a card at least as good as the R7 265, but also not breaking the bank. Something like the R7 370 2GB for £108 (Scan) seems about right to my poorly-trained eye. Is this a decent card for the money?

    Thank you in advance

    The 370 is identical hardware to the 265, (and 7850). Although they have bumped the clockspeeds up further.

    I'd go for the newer 460 at the same price myself.

    Your PSU can supply 30A on the +12V rail.
    I concurr with Endless - Go for a RX 460 but the 4GB variant , just to make things a bit futureproof :

    Definately worth the extra for the 4GB card.
