(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Ok well I don't think I've ever posted in this section in my life, so this is a first, I was also told the almighty Toke lives here Sal

Sooo anyway recently my ATI Raedon HD 6850 (old as fuck) died on me and now I'm living off the integrated graphics on my shitty gigabyte motherboard (also old af) so yea basically I'm looking for a graphics card not too expensive, nothing fancy that has to have fuking 10gb memory GDDR5 whatever the fuck it is, just something low key that has a HDMI port and a DVI port with at least 2gb memory... so if anyone can help me out here that would be much appreciated!

I probably just need a whole new PC to be honest but I'll start off with the graphics card.

I don't think you could go too terribly wrong with a GTX 970. I can't be arsed looking for online Australian retailers so I'll just link newegg. But I'm sure you should be able to find video cards on Amazon.

I guess but that's like a $500 graphics card, considering I hardly play games on my PC and just need it so I can actually use it too just do my usual taks and have it work flawlessly across two monitors then a GTX 970 is probably no good :/

I was thinking more GTX 750 / 780 maybe but idk

I still use a GTX 770, and it works perfectly. I'm having issues finding some for sale on but if you can find one I'd definitely recommend it. Of course if you can find a 780 for a reasonable price I'd recommend it over a 770, but both will work.

alright, I think I'll go for a 770 / 780 depending what I can find because I also had issues trying to find 780's for sale :/
Thanks for the help Rath!
