As some of you may know from a while ago I stated that my computer would randomly start giving me all sorts of artifacts on my screen randomly but would clear up after a restart. Well now after I restart the problem comes back after only 20 minutes on average so I am thinking of just replacing my video card with this.
Galaxy 43GGS8HX3SPZ GeForce GT 430 Video Card - 1024MB GDDR3, PCI-Express 2.0, DVI, HDMI, VGA DirectX 11 at TigerDirect.com
What I want to know is will this card give me better performance in GTA 4 Crysis, Far cry 2 etc. I mean I know it will but will it be an increase I will notice? I just want to get something to tie me over until next year when I plan to build a while new rig. All other cards I looked at needed at least a 500w psu so I don't want to upgrade both the psu and gfx card then just go and build a new rig.
Also I noticed in the user reviews that someone replaced a gtx 280 with this as an "upgrade" since the 280 sounded like a jet taking off. Is this person crazy or is this better than a gtx 280?
