Garbled text and green lines through my screen

[blueyedsamurai]

All of a sudden my computer screen has green/purple or black lines through it and I get garbled text on startup as well.

I tested my screen with another computer and it works fine, I also used the same cable as well.

I'm guessing my graphics card is on its way out? I have a gtx 275

Yes, your graphics card is dead.

Time to replace the old but good GTX 275 I think

 

[blueyedsamurai]

What is your budget? I'll find the best card for your money

those are 200 pound not 200 dollars lol. 200 pound is about $360.00 in my currency

 

[Chalky Emultion]

Can you translate it in euros please?

 

[blueyedsamurai]

$200 is about 135 euros and $250 is about 160 euros

I can get a gtx 650ti for about $160 dollars

My bad buddy!

$200 is about 135 euros and $250 is about 160 euros

I can get a gtx 650ti for about $160 dollars

the best choiche for about $250 is:

- AMD HD 7870 2GB GDDR5 (very good card, very good price/performance ratio)
- Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 2GB GGDR5 (good card, same price of the 7870, but slower)

From a GTX 275:
- the GTX 650 Ti will boost your berformance by 25-30%,
- the GTX 660 by 100%,
- the HD 7870 by over 110%.
