[raghu78]

go with the R9 280. faster than GTX 760. 3GB VRAM. perfect for 1080p.

Yes I have run the windows test after I pulled the gpu it ran fine
I've played diablo III and rust for the last 2/3 days fine without the gpu
I will be trying the gpu in another computer in a week when I get home
All items listed I purchased 01/15/2013

Really appreciating all the help

Hd4000 is pretty capable, plays WOT smoothly enough on low at 1600x900 and i could even enjoy BC2 at 1280x720 low and average over 60 often times. Works years better then the hd2000 i had on my old i5. Nothing is playable much on that thing.

RMA it. Just seems a bit wasteful to spend $200-$300 when you're current, quite capable card is still under warranty. You'll survive the wait - it'll build character.

My 670 is at ASUS' RMA department right now, just wish the HD4000 was fast enough to watch Blu Ray's.

To the OP, you could always RMA it and sell the replacement when it arrives to cover some of the costs of the new card. As with others here though, I'd ultimately recommend to RMA it and wait it out on integrated.

I'd RMA too if it was still under warranty. Maybe they'll send you something in the 7xx series as a replacement.

No need to spend $200 yet if you can get your card replaced.

im only gunna rma it if i get another card first too much hassle and as im a trucker if it gets back to me on the wrong day it could take an extra 3 weeks to get in my computer. also ill be selling it to my friend rma or not. to keep things simple i will be getting a new card guess now im just waiting to see a good deal either 280 or 280x tho i dont think for what i do i really need the x but a good price will the factor in that desicion

Mind as well go for a upgrade and more vram while your at it. Rma and sell your old card when you got the time to recoup some of the cost.
