Uni was ok

What graphics card will you be getting(want)?

EDIT: FOR THE WIN. Whats wrong with you?

Settle down, it was only a light hearted internet phrase I can remove it if it offends you so.

This is the computer in all its glory...

Then this is the mouse that comes with it...

Then this is the speakers...

And this is the nice shiny case it comes in...

http://www.computertarget.com.au/osc...roducts_id=548

Yes...So...should be good for that price.

Nice man! Similar to mine cept I got the Dual Core (nothing really takes advantage of Quad yet), and the 8800GT, which I'd recommend.
Oh and you cant go past the Z2300 Dodgitech Speakers, they crank to the S***.

And I've been at college since the 10th. LOL.

gpoleweski · 02-25-2008, 07:27 AM

Yeah...I'm really starting to consider taking out the cord or toggling something so it doesn't work...and then wait a few days and get the new one...But I have a lot of speeches and assignments due so I can't atm...

Haha..That's a little sucky...My brother's starting to do al ot of stuff with animation so then when he gets taught things he teaches me which is cool

( I couldn't find a big cheesy smile one)

brendo · 02-25-2008, 07:50 AM

Fork out the cash for a 8800GT or higher, In order to be more future proof

and lol @ Eagles.

First year (If that was directed at me).

gpoleweski · 02-25-2008, 07:54 AM

Lol...yeah, you know what, I may as well just go for this...http://www.computertarget.com.au/osc...roducts_id=788

I just hope my mum and dad let me get it...it's case is really nice (not the point)...I'm going to play half in with them...so they have to have a say on it.

Deanis · 02-25-2008, 08:32 AM

Do what you want, I did hear a new series is about to be released though (late-March?) so expect a price drop on all these cards..
BTW, MOST games and I mean pretty much everything except Crysis will work fine with your card now...maybe not at Very Max settings, but still look damn good, especially coming from a Wii owner :P

Oh and I cant think of a way to screw up your card so they have to replace it, unless you plier out something... just sell the card on ebay, and buy a new one (off ebay).

Deanis · 02-25-2008, 08:34 AM

As usual eBay is your very good friend:
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-eVGA-GEFORCE...QQcmdZViewItem

And there you have the bargain of 2008.

Theres another listed for about 150 less, but they dont have shipping costs to Aus, you could probably sort out something tho...

gpoleweski · 02-25-2008, 08:36 AM

It's not just the graphics card...it's the WHOLE computer...it's all outdated so I'm not able to get a new one without changing all the inputs in the computer which will just cost loads more anyways...I was just gonna pull out the power plug...

And although that card would be nice...there's no way that I would be able to get it...I'm not gonna splurge 500 on it alone, even when I have hardly any money to begin with...I have just enough to go in on the computer...by the end of the year I'll have enough to go in half on a PS3 too...all without no job at hand...but that's lazy and I NEED A JOB!

I really gotta go up to EB, I know I'll probably won't get a job there but there's no harm in trying...OR IS THERE!>?

This is a Wii chat board. Please make a thread here for other discussions.
Thank You

gpoleweski · 02-25-2008, 09:22 AM

Oh come on nkbswe5...There's nothing happening with the wii at the moment...we're just mulling things while there's nothing going on...

Why am I explaining myself to you?!

brendo · 02-25-2008, 10:21 AM

@ Eagles. Yeah i was talking to you. What course are you doing?

@Nkbswe5 I agree with you on that one.

@gpoleweski there is no point in having a great graphics card without the good processor to support it. You get an epic card with a not so good cpu and ram combo, It will just bottleneck it.

Thank You

Finally some sense is brought back to the thread.
My wii has remained off for weeks and weeks now, my 360 is rarely off.
Uni this semester so far is awesome, I had 5 straight hours of lectures from 8am and all my lecturers were awesome. The End. Please eat your plastic container.

There is always something happening.

I just had a look at the Destroy All Humans webpage. Its very ... interesting. Their song choice is weird. And it loads slowly. But it looks awesome! The game I mean. You know...
