hi all,
I built a new system in Dec 2008 and had loads of problems, the latest being a faulty Sapphire HD4850 (artifacts + BSOD), never OC'ed. I decided to return it to retailer (pixmania, wish me luck - will never buy from them again). I believe it will take a while for the replacement to arrive, if it does. I want to buy another GPU as I need to use my VM lab for studies.
WHat do you guys recommend? I've always used ATI, but loads of issues with their catalyst drivers recently.
GTS250 - another HD4850 (I am scared of catalyst drivers) - 9800GT
I know that ati is about to release 58XX series but I don't want to wait to long to buy another card. Ideally I don't want to spend much, even tough I will sell my replacement HD4850 if I receive it.
System:
DFI DK P45-T2RS Plus
8Gb RAM
3HDD
PSU Corsair 520W Modular
Comments are much appreciated.
Cheers, pardal51
