Quieter,Cooler, Lower Power Consumption and better performance than my HD7950
The time has come to upgrade my PC. The 2600k is going to find a new home.
Since I am upgrading motherboard and CPU, it seems fitting that this GPU moves on as well since it is loud and underperforms. As of this moment, I am a little up in the air on CPU choices as well.
I am looking for guidance on something that fits the bill.
- Low Power: I am sick of blowing a fuse if I turn on my space heater in the winter AND, my electric bill already sucks
- Quieter: just because
- Cooler: This actually plays more into the cooler thing due to temp and fans
- Better performance: I barely game anymore, but if I am buying a new card it should be at least slightly better. Plus, when I do game, I always itch for better performance. Also, I occasionally need to encode video, so good performance here is helpful.
I am brand agnostic, so whichever has the best price to benefit ratio wins.
Thank you in advance for any guidance.
