Sent in to computer shop tested and confirmed GPU died, PSU pcie cables all works fine.
I'm not really keeping up with the latest GPU price and performance etc. I know that my PC is pretty old now, in an ideal world would be full system upgrade. But full system upgrade is just not possible now due to budget constrain.
If I can confirm my GPU is dead, which GPU model replacement is the most sensible?
And my PSU seems like working fine so if can continue using the 8pin cable so no need to replace the PSU?
Removed 8G GPU from the options:
Updated options:
Nvidia
30 series:
- RTX 3060 12gb (MSI ventus 2x OC dual fan) RM1044
50 series:
- RTX 5060 Ti 16G (Asus dual OC PLUS GDDR7) RM2110
- RTX 5060 Ti 16G (MSI shadow 2x OC PLUS GDDR7) RM2139
- RTX 5060 Ti 16G (MSI ventus 2x OC PLUS GDDR7) RM2299
AMD
RX 9060 XT 16G (Asrock dual fan) RM1684
RX 7800 XT 16G (Asus Dual) RM2181
Note: My case can only fit dual fan, all the price above are from shopee, and i cant seem to find much 40 series card at shopee.
Usage:
- I still game occasionally, but not that frequent like last time.
- I do quite a lot of video editing recently using premier pro, photoshop, lightroom, those common adobe suite
- Still using dual monitors both 1080p, no plan to upgrade, unless either one of the monitor dead, then maybe will upgrade the dead monitor to 1440p.
