My R9 360 has been overheating, and so I downloaded stuff like SpeedFan and MSI afterburner to see if I can fix the problem...
Umm, they can't, 'cuz when I tried the "test the GPU in another PC" I found out the fan is physically broken - one of the blades fell off at some point and now it spins very selectively. (probably as a safety feature). Anyways: Current Video Card is, naturally, the R9 360 (although after the latest patch it's being reported as an R7, but the label and engravings/embossments? on the card physically say R9. Naturally, I'll be checking gpu-passmark, but I was hoping there was some sort of "meta-card" that everyone just auto-uses when they don't care. I don't need super-super settings, like multi-monitor support. --- "Salt cures Everything!" My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Nirakolov/videos ... Copied to Clipboard!

For you, GTX 1050 maybe? I'm hoping to upgrade my R9 280X to an RX 580 but it's a terrible time to shop for GPUs as a everyday consumer. Crypto currency has fucked up the supply hard.

I could just get a second R9 360, since the problem is with the fan - not the quality --- "Salt cures Everything!" My YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/user/Nirakolov/videos ... Copied to Clipboard!

You could also jerryrig a case fan onto your video card for the meanwhile. The exuberant demands for consumer GPU's will probably die within the year.

This is the absolute worst time to buy a graphics card, I bought a GTX 1070 for roughly $370 USD after the rebate back in January and now GTX 1070s go for $450 or more easily.
If you need it now then you have no choice, but prices may come down over the next few months. --- BF ID: Birck #1559845599 Leads: Regil, Shion, Zeis ... Copied to Clipboard!

This is the absolute worst time to buy a graphics card, I bought a GTX 1070 for roughly $370 USD after the rebate back in January and now GTX 1070s go for $450 or more easily. I can continue to play 2D games no problem. But anything that pings on the 3D spikes the heat up quite rapidly. I have the luxury of a nice chilly air conditioned room so simple ... convection? Will keep it from redlining. It looks like my top options are: GTX 980, 960, 950, 1050/Ti, and of course - just replace it with another R7/9 360 --- "Salt cures Everything!"
