Fucking asshole terrorists or whatever stay away from Scandinavia for fucks sake! I hope our Norwegian members are safe... :\

ya me and my gf (and friends) are fine

[Fer!]

I've got a small monitor, so I don't care much for high horsepower, if I can play some stuff in mid-high settings at 1366x768 I'd be very pleased, since I'm not changing my monitor anytime soon.

I know. ): There are ways to rent a PO Box from here, but it's kinda expensive and in the end it would be just better to buy it here.


Yeah, I noticed, Kouen recommended me a 4670, apparently those are better and they've gone a bit cheap. But I found newer cards with around the same price so maybe there was a good one and even a bit cheaper better than that.

Yeah the 4670 sounds like a much better choice.

With modern cheap cards, you're probably better off just getting a used more powerful last generation card... Like a 8800GTS, 9600GT, 9800GT, something like that. Those probably cost around the same as the 220 because LOL OLD, DOESNT RUN CRYSIS AT 1920x1080 LOL, POS.

I stopped using benchmark sites for that reason. They use modest cards, with i3's, 8GB and 2048x1920 resolutions and bitch how x game doesn't reach 120fps. That isn't very helpful to me.

Never a 8x00 nVidia card they kill themselves

well... unless you like baking hardware to revive it

Well I had an 8600GT that I got used and it worked for about 2 years then I sold it on eBay.

[Kouen Hasuki]

Also Look into if its a viable option a HD5770 there rather sweet and reasonably priced

[Fer!]

Hell, a friend has a 7900GS and it runs Mass Effect even a little better than the console. That card is kinda old, no?

Ive seen 3 die from normal use and theres forums and threads on how to bake em back to life, similar issues to 360s and the solder shit

Okay, since I trust you for this stuff, I'll post it here instead.

Those are ancient. Not something I'd recommend. They're from like 2006/2007...

That been said my gf still rocking a HD3870 and thats still going strong thats like 3 gens back now
