Hi everyone,
With my graphics card making a lot of noise, getting hot and OXS crashing daily when trying to do graphics heavy tasks I think its time I replace my GFX card - i just want to make sure I get the right one. Can i get an PCI-E card or do I need a specific one?
The two I am looking at are:
Sapphire HD 4870 512MB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDCP HDTV out PCI-E Graphics Card **Free Game Giveaway - eligible with this item** - Ebuyer
or this
XFX HD 4870 1GB DDR5 Dual DVI HDTV Out PCI-E Graphics Card - Ebuyer
If neither, what can i put into my mac? I have around £100 to spend.
Many thanks,
Joe
