Graphics Card died, any recommendations?

GTX470 bit the dust, y'all know any good nvidia cards? I really don't want to spend more than 100-150.

You can probably get a 650 for around that price.  They're good cards too, used one in a spare rig before I sold it.

You can buy my 560

last I checked they were selling for 75 used on eBay. It will of course be shipped in a wicker sandal and have a free side of hipster condescension.

Yours for 50 plus whatever the shipping to swamplandia is.

Re: Graphics Card died, any recommendations?

Yes you can paypal

The 560 is a little bit of an older card and this has 1GB of ram (I think another 560 did come with 2GB).  The reason I offered it was because I think your rig is a little older, and no sense dropping a bunch on a vid card for an older rig.  This card is marginally better than the 470.  So it's basically a direct replacement, or a very slight upgrade.

Just double check that your PSU had dual PCI-e connections.  Not sure if the 470 has dual.

It's got dual connections, running my old 8800GTs in SLI right now, and my PSU is a super ballin 1200W modular connector type thing. So I can switch out the connections at the PSU if need be.

I'll send it out today if I can get to the post office soon.  You may have sent too much for shipping.  I'll let you know.

Don't worry about it, buy yourself some nice scented candles.
