Awesome windows splash screen

HunterICX · 07-28-10, 07:59 PM

pretty much says it all what the state of my trusty 8800GT is after 2 1/2 years of service....

long story short: was in IL2 got greeted with a freeze and graphical artifacts and after that anything I did under windows or in a game result in a graphical glitch and system lock up.

without the drivers things run basic.

time to get a minor upgrade done.

If your card was made by XFX, eVGA, or BFG, you know it has a lifetime warranty right?

Only in the states with XFX, in europe all you get is 2 year of warranty. No idea on the other brands.

I assume BFG will honour warranties on existing cards now they're pulling out of the gfx game...

Hunter has a MSI card.

Well, at this point in time, I'd opt for a new card instead of having it replaced anyway.

My 8800 is still going strong (though I expect it's on it's way out as well), but if it croaks, it's a new card for me.

depending the total price I'm planning the following

Current>plan:
Intel Duo Core E6750 2.66ghz >upgrade to a intel Quadcore
2Gb ram > 4Gb ram
MSI NX8800GT512 > GTX460 1gb
a new mobo and probally a new PSU when needed.

Might as well buy a whole new computer, no?

That sounds like a new computer to me too.

Depends if my Mobo support the CPU & GPU then I won't need to change it but I doubt it...but Mobo's aren't expensive.

I still would be able to use the HD, DVD/DVD-R drive, case and PSU (when my current 600watt is enough I wont need to change it) and don't forget own a copy of XP so thats not needed as well.

but yeh probally the joke is probally going to cost me a 500 - 700 €

Well my 8800GTX is now 1 1/2 yrs strong, so this serves as a warning for me to upgrade at some point.
