HELP, WHAT GRAPHICS CARD!?

[rjones378]

Hi,

 

I just downloaded Fallout 4 and it crashes as soon as i press the 'PLAY' button after opening the game through steam. I believe this is because of my video card, which is a replacement a friend gave me as my old one broke.

 

My current system is as follows:

CASE: CoolerMaster Elite 430 Mid-Tower Gaming Case with Side Panel Window

CPU: Intel Core i5-3570 Quad Core 3.40 HGz 6MB Cache LGA1155

Storage 1: 128GB Kingston SSD

Storage 2: 500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16 MB Cache

Memory: 8GB DDR3/133mhz Dual Chanel  - Kingston

Motherboard: Asus P8H61-MX Intel H61 chipset Micro ATX Mainboard w/ 2 RAM slots, 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, SATA-II, 1xGen2 PCIe, 1xPCIe , 1 x PCI (B3 Stepping)

GPU: ATI Radeon HD 4600 series

Power: 500W Cyber power gaming Power Supply

 

I think I need to replace my graphics card but not sure which is best! not a high budget but I wont set a limit as I want the best advice! thank you!!!!

Well what is your budget? (You said you wont set a price but it would help)

Try to update your drivers

I have got an gtx 970, and it plays everything very good (I don't play the newest games I know). It did cost me 340 euros a few months back. But I'm not sure if your psu would me good enough

[rjones378]

Willing to spend up to £300, as long as it will definitely work in the system! im not exactly sure how to know whether a gpu will work in my system regarding different chipsets and sockets etc

[TheSimpsons01]

That doens't matter for your gpu, its just a pci slot, but be sure your psu is good enough

Ive tried, but the AMD driver update client wouldn't work, tried downloading them straight from a website but its made no difference

try the R9 390

[AlTech]

Yeah lol no. The 4600 series won't work

[rjones378]

Yeah lol no. The 4600 series won't work

 

It wont work with Fallout 4?

[rjones378]

try the R9 390

 

Ok! thank you!

a 7870 or 550Ti is required

 

get the R9 390 from MSI

Strix 970 is cheap at the moment. $300, and then a $20 MIR on top of that. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121899

for the lowest budget card with decent gaming capabilities, go with 750 ti as @Pugs501 said. Then if you want just a little bit more firepower, there's the r9 280 or 290. You can find a gtx 950 for 150$ or a gtx 960 for 180$. Going with amd will require a higher power psu though. higher than that there's the gtx 970 (be aware that it's 3.5 gb though )

Will the 390 work with my power supply?

[Paytend01]

Yah a 390 will be great, or a 970. 390 will be better because it is 8% (I think) more powerful and has 4gb more of VRAM

[AlTech]

Will the 390 work with my power supply?

Probably not. 

 

Try and get a nice Seasonic 650w or 750w power supply if you can!

[Paytend01]

Will the 390 work with my power supply?

Maybe, but i would recommend upgrading to like a 600 or 650

Okay but if I got the 750 Ti would I still need a new psu?

Nope, 750ti would be good on that PSU im pretty sure
