getting a new graphics card, is this one good?

[cpufreak101]

i actually had this (http://www.findlaptopdriver.com/foxconn ... 242011t87/) laying around my house, while not on the list it still has a possibility of being able to work with it on ddr2 ram, only problem with that route is i only have a spare gig of ddr2 floating around, i can try it tomorrow, see if it's compatible, but it most likely isn't

ok i got the card in the mail today and i can confirm it will not fit without modification, at least it ppaid itself back already because evga included a $100 voucher for wine, which i find wierd since i spent $99.99 on the card... so i guess i profited from buying a graphics card?

for everybody that told me to go 750 ti i cannot thank you enough, the 650 i had in mind was actually a fake, my friend had it, died after a month, so thank you guys

I'm glad it worked out for you.

I hope your friend didn't know this at the time he was trying to sell it. =\

he wasn't trying to sell me the card, it was the processor he was selling me, that's still going strong, but yeah when he bought it we had no clue

[WildKarrde]

Ah, that sucks for him.

Ah, that sucks for him.

yeah, i ended up just modding the case (it fits so far, just need to trim a few extra things, should have it back thursday) for the 750 go i'm giving him the gt430 that was in my PC initially

got the PC back today, getting 10 gigs of ram into it tomorrow, working great, anybody overclock an EVGA 750Ti before? if yes, what did you achieve, and did you use activeX or afterburner?

Is it even worth it?

[cpufreak101]

Is it even worth it?

play's automation maxed without a problem, overclocks like a dream, and has done everything i asked it to without complaint, so yes, it was worth $130 and a week of work, and for the OCing i just searched around a bit on EVGA forums, and the RAM i got as payment for fixing my cousins laptop

[Microwave]

No, I meant is overclocking worth it?

[cpufreak101]

No, I meant is overclocking worth it?

oh, well i got about 10 extra FPS in MSI Kombustor stress test, i just really turned it slightly higher than the FTW edition, if i apply a bios hack i found i can get so much more out of the card
