Windows 10: Do I need a new card?

I currently have an MSI GeForce GTX 970 that I think is dying. I am getting a lot of flicker when I am playing Borderlands 3 and its mostly when lots of stuff is going on. I tried re-seating the card thinking maybe that was it, but it did not help.

I have had it for years now, and I also at one point was using it to see about mining for bitcoin (probably less than a month) a few years ago. If I were to replace it, I don't need to go up very much in quality, but I DO need 4K support and...

Do I need a new card?

 

New here and seeking for help: problems with graphic card

Thanks very much lilhasselhoffer. I'll start doing what you suggested step by step.

One question thou: you suggested me to Download the latest driver package from Nvidea. However, the link you posted is for the newly released GeForce GTX 760? Am I supposed to download the drivers for that card?

Sorry for my questions. As I said, I'm not an expert at all.

 

what video card would you go with

Nice *Wink . I look at it like this. You have 90 days to do the Step-up. If you buy it today..

• That's May 12thish that you have be the ability to do the step up...
• But, in that 90 days, you may have the chance to get the 4870x2 down to a price worth getting.
• Or, Just buy one of the new cards...

3 possibilities in one little buy.

 

Newbie, looking for new graphics card.

I am currently having problems with my 4870s noise.
In my honest opinion, its just too damn loud.

Getting to the point, i am looking for a new video card that is

• Quiet/silent
• Decent power
• around 120 dollars or less.
• Dual dvi outputs for 2 monitors
• Easy/Low maintenance
• Not a puzzle to install

Im going to buy a new video card very soon, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
