I must buy an UPS urgently!

I save frequently, I usually end up with 12 saves or so per patrol, just in case of CTD's. Most times after a major combat. I play DiD, but CTD's and force majeurs don't count as dead! Ended up replaying an encounter like 5 times once to get the results of the first time! I CTD'd just after on the first one, luckily the previous save was about 2 hours (game time) before the encounter, so It's wasnt a major issue recreating it.

Which is precisely one of the benefits of performing multiple saves

Thinking you had successfully evaded convoy escorts, but the second you surface and start getting outta dodge, they come back and blow everything off of your conning tower.

Things got even worse now.
The power failure torpedoed and sunk my graphics card (Nvidia Geforce 7600 GT).
Now I don't have my desktop gaming machine to play SH3.
I post this from my laptop.
New card is to come in on Tuesday - if the BdU allows it.

What card are you replacing it with?

I don't know yet. The shop will open on Tuesday.
I think something similar to the lost one as I was satisfied by its performance. The only game I play on my PC is SH3.

Any suggestions?

Not really, it depends on what you want to do with it and what you want to pay.

My 32bit system is running a Nvidia 7800GS and the 64bit system an ATI Radeon HD 5750
