:fffuuu:
hahaha 
My card is an ATI Radeon HD 3870 x2 and I updated it a day or two after the release of L4D2.
If I can run a game with a smooth framerate and if it makes the game look great, I don’t care.
But I use a GeForce card. No real reason why, it’s just what my dad’s friend put in when he built my awesome computer.
Best buy has better security now I don’t want to take any chances.
Oh, do tell.
The best buys near me still sell the 4850 for $200, its ridiculous how much they jack up the prices.
I use an Asus Geforce 8500GT Silent edition.
My favorite company though is definitely the former Canadian ATI. Just like AMD, they’ve got more bang for the buck.
I mean everything super high quality and smooth at 60fps at 720p for just 85$? (radeon 4670) thank you. My brother has a computer that has the Radeon 4670 and wow is that little card good, he’s got everything highest setting and it runs smoothly.
how recent is ‘everything’ exactly?
Blue screens are very rarely video drivers or video hardware these days. HDD corruption or memory errors are statistically the more common source.
My 9800 GT still makes win happen on my monitor(s). Only when I have uber money will I consider getting a mobo which takes more then 1 GPU.
or replace ur card with a better one
I prefer Nvidia, I have a 512mb 9800Gt and it does it’s job perfectly… Back when half life 2 came out I prefered Ati because HL:2 ran better on an ATI card
Well, I don’t think it’s a coincidence that every time I have these issues I get a little blurb that says “Video driver ______ failed and has recovered.”
I haven’t seen that in the past 4 months since I have been using later drivers and Windows 7
I don’t have Windows 7. I would like to get it, though, since Vista doesn’t really agree with me and I’m curious to see if it is affecting any of that.
The computer is 2, possibly nearing 3, years old so hopefully I’ll get around to replacing a lot of it within the next year anyway.
I think I found your problem.
TF2, HL2 episode 2, Fallout 3, UT3, borderlands…
Windows 7 is worth your time and money. It has never angered me, or ran like it was constipated, unlike Vista did, atleast my father paid for it not me. I got this copy of 7 myself and when he upgrades his machine I will gladly buy it for him. I ran a dodgy copy of XP for most of the time Vista was around. I havent had a reason to reinstall yet and its been on here for ~2 months or so, consider it Vista SP6 and them some in regards to stability and usability and boot time, my HTPC thats a dual core AMD 2.6 GHZ with 2 gig of ddr667 boots into Media Centre in 12-14 seconds on 7. I would rather go back to my hooky copy of XP than Vista! My computing experience on 7 has absolutely no issues

True… but I’ve been avoiding blaming Vista because that seems to be the scapegoat for every issue, and I don’t want to believe that its really the OS that has caused every single problem on my computer… because that would just be retarded and defeat the entire point of the OS.
