^one should also take into consideration that ASUS customer support aint that great....

ppl often forget after-sales service when they buy things, but of course, if you already impractical and blowing 50k on a comp sys, then by all means

even tho EVGA makes sum really stupid design mistakes, their no hassle RMAs and warranties, along with great customer support make them a greaaat choice for most computer builders

hmm are you directing that comment to someone in particular, probably in a next thread?

^ ASUS is the best. Its funny how people think that EVGA classified is this great mother board when in reality its not.

Sure it can do amazing things but its lifespan is nothing compared to ASUS.

ASUS is like SONY of the 90's their stuff just built to last and last and last.

the evga classified is not a great motherboard?

and its life span is short??

sure the asus rampage 3 is better than it..

but not by much..

get ur head out your a$$ eh

ctrl+c, ctrl+p.

but in some cases they are sh!tty none the less. But i never had to RMA anything thankfully. The VIP forums are VERY helpful though, i easily sourced drivers for my laptop on it.

Just Got this Video Card

[xaira]

x 540 in d hizzle, mine bout 4 years old and still goin strong

4650 is a good card, it go max cod at 1920x1080, doh try that with crysis though

Idk why people still bothering with building systems to 'max out crysis' nah.

When that game came out i play it out about 3-4 times with two 7900GS in SLi and an 8600GTS OC card. The gameplay lacks but apparently the graphics are what concerns everyone more.

Asus and EVGA are good brands, then again is a hit or miss with any brand when it comes to electronics. Not biased towards any specific brand but whatever works best at a given price point does it for me.

The only problem i get with Asus is there stupid site in terms of drivers etc.....

Am sure many of you have tried to navigate that site only to have it return you to there home page LOL

Even driver download they have some 3rd party servers hosting them and it takes forever to get 100mb drivers

[M_2NR]

Yes, Please Rename it and make it the centre thread lol

better?

btw, you coulda rename it eh

WRT the to 4650, i have one of these, the slim ones from sapphire. (not the "gaming spec" one)

They nice. Not sure about gaming but for video output via HDMI... It's VERY useful. One of the thing ATI held nvidia for was that and still TBH i have preference to AMD/ATI for.

The cooler sapphire has on there model is at best, very weak

The one on the XFX is pretty good


Another ting too, When installin this Card was frustrating jed, i do everything right i open meh case i ground myself, put card in AGP Slot, connect the Power to it, then when i put back on pc, d monitor and d Keyboard and mouse not coming on and harddrive activity light staying Red and not flashin, i spend like ah hour takin off, puttin on, restarting dis pc.

Then just unplug and plug back in some cables and guess what?









Everything Come on

isohunt, thepiratebay, projectw, katz fourms, the downloads switch

Anyone of of those websites you can get it, if you google NFS Carbon download, you won't get the full version ny googling you either download it via torrent website or a Full Rip like what Skullptura does or from one of the websites above.


For the torrent sites your gona have to download a Torrent Download Client like uttorent and use this to download the File you have downloaded from the Torrent Site.

[Virus]

Not seeing a Skullptura rip

[M_2NR]

guys seriously... keep the piracy talk off the boards nuh...

guys seriously... keep the piracy talk off the boards nuh...

Like at the end of all those pirate games, i will quote if you like the game then BUY IT so piracy is not a bad thing if someone decides to look before they leap, but tru gamers support the cause of original but for those who just want a look see why not..........

N.B i not saying spam down the thread eh

[M_2NR]

i agree but forums rules meng

[nareshseep]

[Chiney]

[zcarz]

since we talking bout upgrades, how often do you guys upgrade?
I normally upgrade every 2-3 years

3 yrs.. or when a new version of direct x comes out

[Chiney]

wen i think back

i have changed pc parts like wow within this same summer period

good lard, the amt of cash i "waste"

and theres no way to get it back!!

[HCCA]

Upgrades usually happen for me whenever i spot a bess deal. Got some great deals from tuner over the years as do people who buy whatever parts i have for sale. Usually i buy/sell until i get the right parts to build what i want.

However as of last week i now have 3 pc systems that wouldn't need to be upgraded til maybe when ATi releases those new cards and NVidia drops prices on their current lineup.

Another brand with excellent consumer support is XFX...

In 2008 my cheap PowerKing PSU damaged my XFX 8800 GT Alpha Dog Edition..I emailed them, they said send it and within a week they responded saying a replacement is already on its way...

Two years on and its still going strong still running all the latest games at decent fps...yayy!!
