The Official Graphics Card and PC gaming Thread

tee-hee he said retarded

My PS3 internet has croaked it's last croak It works on everything except online play. Web browser, PS store, messaging and so on is fine but the second you try to do anything against anyone else it refuses. Not cool. It's the same through Cable as it is wireless and all. I think it got fed up on the swearing, bad jokes and general stupidity of mine and my mates AVP games haha.

Yay I'm actually going to get Fallout 3. With people *still* banging on about it I thought it might be worth looking into...

Change to hyperlinks, Xfire doesn't allow image embedding.

 

done

 

That is wholly disgusting. To get less than 100fps minimum with graphics like that on anything above an 8800GS is absymal. Not at all impressed.

 

sam i think you might want this. (or 2)

From any other company I would


With any luck a 2GB Sapphire VaporX one will come out or something.

 

Guys, what are your chronological order when installing psu, graphic card, and ram? Which one do you install first? I'm curious.

 

depends on the case tbh. but normally PSU mobo (with CPU and cooler in) RAM then GPU

 

I did it differently last time. I actually installed my mobo vertically LOL! Just to say I did it The cpu and cooler were tricky like that. Took 3 attempts. That's more to do with the Arctic freezer though. It can be somewhat of a Prick! First I installed the PSU, then the mobo, then Ram, then CPU and cooler, Then Graphics Card. HDD's were already installed. Then it was just cable management. I may go water cooling one day. But not yet. I don't trust those systems. At least not in such a current tight environment. If a mess were to occur, I would be beyond livid LOL! I was sooo careful with the GPU I love that baby LOL!

I love the space the HAF 932 allows a person to work with

 

wish i could go back to my watercooling tbh lol. i mis ym old system

 

Might be the recipient of a heavily discounted HAF 932 quite soon with the side panel from the AMD edition. One of my friend's is moving to the AMD edition but he wants to keep the side panel with the fan. So I get a unique case with an AMD dragon and logo on the side. Sweet

 

have you guys seen the fish tank case? Cool eh??? The entire cpu is literally submerged in a water oil..

 

You'll like it. It's incredible. That's all I have to say about it LOL! I have virtually ZERO complaints about the HAF. Oh wait, its a dust magnet LOL!

Schwaber, do you have a linky for that fish tank

 

Schwaber: It depends on the case. Typically, due to the fact I use large CPU coolers that require backplates, I fit the CPU, CPU cooler and RAM to the motherboard before I put it in the case. Clearly though, this requires a clean workspace to do. The PSU typically goes in early on, if space is likely to be an issue. The graphics card(s) go in last, as they tend to cover up slots and make them far more difficult to plug in.

 

omegaman7: here's the link It's just so coooolllll

BTW, I saw a winrar of 64-bit on the homepage and I was just wondering if I can use that to upgrade my 32-bit system. I am just worried about the compatibility issues of 64-bit. You know, some of my programs might not work...

 

Amazing, until the fluid becomes impure, starts conducting electricity and destroys the system
Winrar is available in a 64-bit version. That version works if you have a 64-bit OS. You can't use a 64-bit program to 'upgrade' your OS to 64-bit though, that would be like trying to turn a car into a plane by putting jetfuel into it.
I've been using 64-bit windows for a year now without any real compatibility issues at all.

 

Oh I see. Thanks for clarifying that sam. And the 'water' is mineral oil, so no, it won't conduct electricity at all. Not matter what.

 

Not until it becomes impure. Don't forget, water doesn't conduct electricity by itself either.

 

Yah, that is a cool system. A little too risky for me though LOL! Perhaps if I had the money though
If a mobo with that mineral oil were completely sealed off, it shouldn't lose purity. Unless of course the components are breaking down, shatting its metallic makeup But then, I know nothing about mineral oil. For all I know, it gradually breaks down regardless.
