My C2D/R4850 started artifacting recently. (I keep getting green/yellow squares all over the screen.).Is my vid card giving up?
It's been almost 8 years that I am using this setup.
I am considering a complete up-gradation (all components except Tower/PSU) and would like some assistance from the members here.
My budget is around Rs 50000 i.e around 800$. I live in India.
Just a few months back I replaced my CPU box with a Cooler Master K380 Mid Tower with CM Extreme Power Plus 700W PSU. (So this looks to be good.)
What's the best components that I can opt for in the above budget?
In terms of vid card I was leaning towards R9 280X, but saw many threads that talked about Artifacts and flickers problems.
Since I will be getting the card from US, RMA is out of the question if I get a faulty piece.
Are there lot's of issues with 280X?
If I end up getting a 280X, will the PSU be sufficient?
270X seems tempting (I can use the extra 100$ that I can save on some other components), but would you recommend it over the 280X considering my budget?
