I got a new card

Postby loomex » Sun Feb 07, 2010 6:53 am

Since there was not enough $$ for a new computer, I got a new card at Best buy. I got a Galaxy GeForce GT240. I was limited to just a few card because of wattage ratings. I have played around just a bit with it, but I do notice a much better frame rate. The biggest issue I had was because of its larger fan, I was forced to remove my TV card.

What is the main problem besides frames, or is that all? Also what gpu did you use in your last PC?

I had a GeForce 8400GT (512mb RAM) that had a fan fail. I put another fan on it and it would get a bit too hot. I was forced to add a blower just to keep it cool
