Officer SOE/LoE/Where's "here"?
I have a gaming issue which may be due to my Nvidia card with one game. Going to switch to Radeon for the first time in about 10 years. The choices are limited to appx 130.00 to 200.00 my current choices are:

Comments? This will be a first of the month purchase so there is still time if you can come up with something better. BTW I have Amazon prime so if it is an Amazon choice I can get free shipping.
 
Welcome to the better side....


I would go with the sapphire. Its a newer card and should future proof you just a bit longer. I have a sapphire card for 3 years now and it has worked flawlessly.

Ooops didn't update. After much back and forth with GW2 support we have found out I have a borked OS, with no easy repair remedy. So I will put up with the spontaneous reboots in certain explorables and towns until after the 1st. Then I am going to do two things, one is get an OEM copy of Windows 7 to replace my Vista. Also because my CPU is running 64-65 C in some places, and it is rated at 67.9C I will buy a more efficient cooler, I am running stock right now, and have it installed. And to answer the current video card question I just installed an Nvidia GTX 650 Ti about 4 months ago. So if you have a favorite CPU cooler for a socket Intel 1366 I'll take those too.
