slick cowboy Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 The fan on my videocard is acting weird and noisy. I cleaned the fan, but it's still getting noisy when gaming. It's rattling noise... The card is getting old and replacing the fan is not worth it. It's an ASUS card with a Nvidia chip GTX550. I'd rather get a new instead of wasting time fixing this. Does anybody have recommendations? Good or bad experiences? Do I stick with Nvidia or is there better? Quote

+MigBuster Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 It runs okay with a GTX-780 The GTX-750Ti is good apparently http://www.ebuyer.com/618540-msi-gtx-750-ti-gaming-2gb-gddr5-vga-dvi-hdmi-pci-e-graphics-n750-ti-tf-2gd5-oc?utm_source=google&utm_medium=products&gclid=CK7go7z_6cMCFSQXwwodCroATg Quote
slick cowboy Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 yeah been thinking about the gtx980 or 970 but either way buying a new card will probably also mean buying a new psu :-( the older psu don't seem to cut it anymore with the newer cards my current one is max 300W Quote
+Muesli Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Maybe think about a nice (and quiet) upgrade to water cooling?Me likey a lot! Edited February 17, 2015 by Muesli Quote
+Dave Posted February 18, 2015 Posted February 18, 2015 I have a GTX 770 and its runs everything I throw at it like a champ. Quote
slick cowboy Posted February 18, 2015 Author Posted February 18, 2015 I went for a GTX 960 in the end. That water cooling pic looks evil :-) Quote
