My old Video card went out and I need suggestions for a replacement. I don't want to build a whole new computer If I can avoid it.
As far as I know the motherboard is ok. Tried multiple ports and monitors on the video card, and nothing.
Must be able to display 3840 x 1080P Resolution, I'm currently using a Mini Display port, since that's the only port I know of that displays 3840 X 1080P
Motherboard: Asus Tuf Sabertooth 990FM R2.0 AM3+
My old video card in this board was a XFX Double D Radeon HD 7970
If you notice the Video card PCI express port is for a PCIe 2.0 x16 (dual x16 or x16/x8/x8)
So I apparently bought the wrong video card for this motherboard to begin with. It worked, just not to it's full potential.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank You
