Default Graphics card cooling

My graphics card fan is dying. Should I buy a new cooler, or i wait for the new graphic cards to come out and then buy an older graphics card (48xx series), or should i buy dx11 graphics card then?

P.S! Excuse my English.

I'd personally buy the 4890s when the price drop comes, awesome performance on the cheap. I probably won't buy DX11 until games with DX11 are the norm.

Just wait a few weeks, I think this is when DX11 is released, it should mean 48XX series will lower their prices.

Or you could get a 4850 RIGHT NOW for under $100, and it would completely murder that 3850.

the DX 11 cards will be overpriced when they come out, so you'll probably end up buying one months after they are released and their prices go down


i would buy a 4850 or a 4870


your 955 deserves a better card
