replacing a 6950

[nutxo]

My card takes like 20 minutes to start working after I turn my computer on and occasionally black screens yadda yadda.

Anyways. I only play a little WOW . MY mobo is p67 gd65a, i5 something or other overclocked to 4ghz.

I wanted to get something local and was looking at a r7 260x. Would this do the trick?

I would just bump up a bit more to a 270 personally for a tiny bit more or the equivalent if you could afford it.

Are you otherwise happy with the performance of your 6950, if it didn't take 20 minutes to start working?

My concern is that even if you upgraded the video card, your computer would still take 20 minutes to start working because something is very wrong with your setup, and it might not be the video card's fault.

I tried a different card in the thing and it was fine. Im still happy with my 6950 . After I get a new card Im gonna try baking the thing maybe.

Unfortunately local prices for gpus are inflated. Im stuck with best buy or infotechnow.
