So... I'm sitting there, enjoying my htpc... and the video just goes black, and my TV is saying "Searching for signal"...
I open it up, the fan on the GTX260 isn't moving... it's dead... dead as a doornail
Suggestions for a relatively cheap (not too cheap, necessarily) PCI-e video card, (NVidia or ATI, don't really care--voice your opinions) for light gaming on an i7-920 machine that mainly runs windows.
To be honest, that card was wayyyy too big for what I use it for... but still, what I need needs to be able to play any reasonable game without issues.
I think the only game that ever gets played on the damn thing are emulators and star wars battlefront (not very resource intensive at all), but I don't want to go to play some game and my video card handles it terribly....
Just want your suggestions on good upper-mid videocards.
