New graphic-card (XFX ATi Radeon™ HD 4770)
While my old nVidia 8800GT started having a few trouble with the fan and not supporting HDMI I decided to switch it out with a newer card. I needed a card that was not to big since my computer is in a very small case. So to suit my needs the choice fell on ATi’s 4700 series more precise XFX ATi HD4770. Many might think this card is in the low-end well it might be so, but taken into consideration it’s one of the first card’s based on the 40nm technology it’s still powerful while being extremely cheap.
