Wow! I haven't been paying attention to the graphics card world for some time now and by the looks of it, I wish I didn't have to! I'm in a bit of an odd situation so any suggestions will be much appreciated..
I currently run a GTX 1080ti for light gaming. I recently decided to convert it to my HTPC and discovered it's somehow defective and generates a loud feedback/high-pitched static noise. Kinda like a severe feedback loop. The odd part is this only happens when connecting it to my AV equipment via HDMI or display port. I have replaced every component trying to narrow down the culprit and I'm not 100% sure it's the card. I was fortunate enough to borrow a similar card from a friend that generated zero interference noise when installed. So now, I need to replace the card at what looks like the worst time ever. The card works great in a traditional setup, just not when using for an HTPC.
What card will allow for 4K UHD playback, have enough power for light gaming AND not cost $3,000! Any suggestions?
When I say light gaming I'm referring to the newest Buldars Gate release and other titles like it. (I know, don't laugh)
