Replacing my dead GPU

[Captain Beer]

I did a bit of a spring clean inside my PC this evening. Seems like my old 7850 didn't appreciate this too much. PC boots but no image on either of my displays.

I'm on a very tight budget and just looking for something similar to replace this card. Got my eye on the Radeon R7 360 or a GTX 750Ti. I'm not a fanboy of either brand and I've got no idea which one to choose.

Don't need much to power that Tatung CRT

What's your budget? I'd look on Carb, you'll get something a lot better for the same price as new.

Maybe you got dust inside the PCIe slot.

My ISA cards wont fit on this board

Budget up to around R2000.

Was thinking the same, have tried to blow as much dust out as possible. I'll try test the card on another rig this weekend.

That can't be your machine in your sig, right? Were you using the 7850 for mining or something?

Check if you can stretch your budget to R2600 and get the 1050ti .

If not get the 1050

Wait until tomorrow, you might pick up some decent deals. I am hoping wootware will put the 1050 ti on an awesome special!

Cheers man. They're just down the road from me too. Quite keen on that Zotac GeForce GTX 1050, 3-year warranty and all.

See if it's any cheaper tomorrow, being black friday & all.

I had this happen once - placed the foot of the PCIe card on a sheet of sandpaper and took off about 0.5 - 1mm of the plastic below the pins. Card made better contact and worked fine
