The problem with the Msi R9 270x
While watching the movie, there was a black screen. After rebooting the PC the monitor pestal to see the computer. Replacing the hdmi, at loading there were red strips. Put a different graphics card, it all works fine. The question of whether cost effective to repair the video card and is it possible? She is 3 yearsMSI R9 270x 2gb
Usually warm up the chip on the graphics card, without any guarantees that it (the chip) in an hour will not fall off. At a cost like in St. Petersburg about 3 000.
I understand that a new better card to take. What would you recommend in the area of 15K or should wait a bit and get cheaper?

3K for heating of the chip that is not something I take so much for rebeling and warm up for 500 rubles can do.

Waiting makes no sense, the price of a video card to fall further will not, on the contrary, again, due to the introduction of some new method of mining to take off in price. For 12K you can take RX560 or GTX 1050ti, although the optimal vidyuhi (so as they say money is not the wind), I think the GTX 1060 6 or RX 580 gigs to 8 gigs. But then the price tag starts from 20K
270x is a great card, and replace it with a new 1050ti - hardly makes sense. The increase will be just at the level of a single step (it is the level of 280x) in serious games and in the window to 60 fps. If the repair really cost 3000, then 4x for 1050ti does not pay off never. One slider textures up because of more VRAM, the rest is +5 fps.
The perfect replacement for the r9 270x performance - 1070, but for the price it will be a two-fold increase in 5 times more expensive (as it is more expensive 1070 - b/ear 270x), minimum - 1060 3-6gb.
The important queries on games. If the queries do not play all in a row, with the release of a new line card gtx10xx and Rx5xx will fall in price faster than it is now. If I play, say, some Andromeda on high and 60 fps, or, in the Witcher there maksimalka to fork over 1060 6 gb.
PS repairing r9 270x now repair can recoup by resale later. This card like a 9600gt at the time. Universal solution for average needs)
Warm up can be at home in the oven or construction Hairdryer in the Internet is full of information, I remember warming my 8800 in the oven and worked after that for quite a long time.
Find specialists right now Peter or Moscow is quite difficult, crushed Kulibin or lomyat price tag that it is easier to buy new.
Need to know what R9 270x. It could be anything. Not necessarily the worst (maybe the PWM is almost half dead - and it is treated by installation of a new PWM and inexpensive).
In General , if the worst then, perhaps , it is better to save on VEGA 56 , which with 2 8 pin. Three is not necessary , t will warm up.
