I have a feeling my graphics card is giving up, which totally sucks as it's only two years old. It shouldn't be breaking, but what can you do.

Can you suggest me decent/good graphics card, which runs cool and works lovely? And which should not break after a year?

PCI-E, thank you. M4N75TD is my current mobo, though I may change that too at a later date. The graphics card is my main concern now.

oh, and nVidia. I will not touch AMD ever again.

Budget and other hardware, please?

I've heard good things about the x60 cards. I have a friend that has a 560 ti and he can run games on comparible settings to my AMD 7850.

That's the card currently in my rig. Works great and I've felt no need to upgrade as of yet.

Well, my wife may kill me if it goes over 200 euro...

Other hardware? What else you need for a graphics card than the mobo ? Well, power supply is Corsair's TX650, so that should be decent.

I don't know what prices are like in Finland, but here the highest-end Nvidia card you could get (new) for ~200 Euro would be the GTX 660Ti or GTX 760.

A 650W power supply should be enough for either of those, I think.

I've read good things about the GTX660Ti but if you can find a cheaper GTX760 I would pick it instead. Remember to check that your PSU can handle your new card whatever you choose.

oh, and my current GPU is GeForce GTS450, so yeah, maybe it's time to upgrade that anyway.

You probably don't want something less than a 650 and your budget limits you to the 660 ti. In this range, the 650 ti 1GB ( about 130 EUR) and the 660 ti 2GB ( about 200 EUR for MSI's power edition ) tend to offer a better price/ performance ratio. imho, there is little value in paying 30 EUR more for a 2GB version of the 650 ti , while the 20 EUR saved by a 660 compared to a 660 ti is not worth the loss of performance.

MSI is usually a good choice and offers competitively priced cards. Zotac might be another option

Why don't you just buy something equivalent to what you had, and save the money for a replacement? If the rest of the components are 2+ years old, you might as well just swap it out again when you buy a new computer.

I would wait a little bit. AMD will release new generation of cards this fall and prices of older cards will drop both for AMD and nVidia as usual.

But I personally would buy AMD card. Nvidia users constantly complain about performance of games that are partnered with AMD and more and more publishers sign deal with them.

As I understand it, the prefix indicates the intended use of the GPU. No prefix (such as in GeForce 210) pretty much means that you'll get a dedicated GPU but not much else. GT and GTS (such as you GTS 450) are good for users who need decent performance on occasion, such as casual/entry-level gamers. High-end shit is labelled GTX.

The first number indicates the generation of the GPU, the second one how powerful it is, so a higher number may not necessarily mean higher performance: the GTX 690 kicks the shit out of the GTX 760. The last number seems to be redundant on desktop GPU's, but there are interim laptop models labelled 675 or what have you. The Ti suffix indicates an improved version of the card - kind of comparable to a facelifted car that's got slightly move power squeezed out of its engine without increasing capacity, I suppose.

That's how I think the system goes, anyway. I think that you're rightly confused.

EDIT: Typos.

Right, well, now I'm even more confused :)

But GeForce GTX 660 2GB Twin Frozr III is a good choice, then? Better than my current one? Will it suffice for a few years of PC gaming?

More importantly, will it run Witcher 3 and DA:I ?
