Welp the saga of my card has ended. Turned out that the card was busted all along. Just got the apology from the distributor in Germany and a refund through Amazon today.
So, not really sure what to do now really. Upgrading was a complete shitshow (Fuck OEM's) but looking at the release schedule, all I want PC wise is Project CARS (Unless that gets shut down for fraud) and vultureing the steam sales. So any ideas. I don't want godly range. I just want something that would run High/60FPS and isn't too hard on the wallet since PC is nowhere near going to be my main gaming platform and this experience has pushed me to having one of the consoles as my main platform next gen. Worth going for a 650Ti or 7850 instead?

yeah, I generally feel like the 650Ti Boost and the 7850 are the lowest-end cards worth buying (mind you, for me, they are also pretty close to the highest-end cards worth buying). 2GB versions of each should be gettable for about $160.
though from the sound of things, you'd probably be pretty happy with higher-end onboard graphics, if you have a newish CPU... |
My onboard at the minute is a Radeon HD 7560D.
Eh, I suppose it will do for what I want and I'll stick my cash towards either a new console or just have another €200 in the kitty for a car.

Turns out the refund was an error (And I didn't get any money back. Rats) but they sent me a new card. And whaddya know. Works like a charm so far. No crashes at all even though I did a pretty lengthy RR: Unbounded session on it. Though turns out the main reason I got a card, Project CARS, just got an official delay in 2014 meaning it's inevitably going to be on the next X-Box and PS4
Guess this will do for now though. Hi-Ho PC gaming, away!
