Hi All,

So the GT 730 arrived, two days later than the ETA, but anyway I installed it and could solve the problem after a small "fight" with Windows making me run it in fail safe mode" and re-installing card drivers.

I guess I'll keep this card until a better one is available at a reasonable price, because not only are they listed at very high prices, but due provider's lack of inventory, You can't even buy them if you have the money!.

Thanks all and cya around.

Anytime.

Glad to have been of assistance, and thanks for letting us know that everything turned out for the better.

Yes, I have noticed that graphics cards of any quality are very expensive and hard to find.

I think I paid $65 USD for the Zotac GT 730 when I bought it new several years ago.

The GT 1030's I bought were $90 each, just 2 or 3 years ago, and now I don't think you can find one for less than $140.

And as you know, those are low end budget cards.

Hi Paul,

I got this one for 80 EUR (some 90 - 91 USD). I good deal considering it is brand new, but IMHO it is anyway too expensive for the perfomance it offers.

Thanks again for your help and thanks also to the others commenting in this thread because those comments were also useful and it feels always good to have support 😉

Best regards,

JPau
