I'm at work and my new video card and PSU have arrived... I want to go home and build them in!

The PSU
The GPU

Now this combined with my new cpu/ram/mobo of last month will make my rig last for quite a bit longer again... Smile

I don't think you bought a powerful enough videocard.

Nope. Not at all.

the sad part is that 9800GTX and the 9800GTX+ are slower than my card.  They are the exact same specs as the 8800 GTS 512mb, just with higher clocks.

Yah I know, but the 8xxx cards which would outperform this card would either take ages to deliver or where sold out... And as my father really needed a PCI-e videocard and was waiting for mine (as I was going to upgrade) I couldn't really wait. Besides, for the performance... this thing was dirt cheap anyway.

Sweet, I'm getting 120 - 80 fps when I have everything maxed out (1680*1050) in tf2... that's a big diff from 40fps without even anti-aliasing (also 1680*1050). Smile

I refuse to take that smitebait.  But only cause you just banned smoking.

LOL, a sad day indeed. I can't wait to see the creative ways to get around it in bars though.... In germany there is a pub where, when you enter, you enter into a play. The play being 'the last day you can smoke in a pub'.  This makes it creative expression and therefore legal to smoke.

Wonder what they will do here...
