Alright, i need to know what is probably the best NVIDIA videocard on the market, with the same, or a little bit higher specs then this


http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...E16814150656&gclid=CNTL89u3grUCFQ0GnQod4D0AMw



Price range.. try to keep under $300.


I believe i found the issue to my driver issue.....wait for it.... THE DRIVER! I've gotten sick of this videocard, and i'm replacing it with an NVIDIA card of the same specs, then selling this one off to someone who can actually use it.


PS: I'd prefer if it had a VGA port, as my current one required me to buy a converter.

Pretty hard to argue with either of those choices.

The MSI one, i read the comments and apparently there is another version of it, with 3GB of memory for $90 more, would that be a worthwhile difference?

Not really. BF3 on max settings only uses 1 gig on my card and I am running at 1080p.
 
Alright, so it's down to two atm, Punisher's and the MSI that cloaked picked. Which would you say is better? Can you guys help me research issues about both? (I didn't know my Radeon 7850 had cruddy drivers, which ALOT of people had issues with them crashing) Anything i should be worried about with either of those 2?
 
They are practically the same card. Realistically - Just pick one that looks cooler in your opinion. lol

Both are reliable vendors, as stated by others the difference between the two is so slight you'd likely not notice.
You original post stated "under $300", if you want to stay true to that then the MSI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127711
if you want to boast to your buddies about a faster core speed the EVGA http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130837

One small difference I do see that might matter to you is Warranty;
EVGA is
Limited Warranty period (parts): 3 years
Limited Warranty period (labor): 3 years
MSI is
Limited Warranty period (parts): 3 years
Limited Warranty period (labor): 2 years

Given that slightly faster core & 3yrs on parts/labor, I'd go with the EVGA
