Re: video card decision

Might want to reconsider that,

http://www.tigerdirect.ca/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=1927948&sku=P262-3068

only X160XT I can find listed on their site.

And Thirnhill is not like your 50 miles from the city, drive down to Steeles subway station and take the train downtown. If Filtech has the card in stock (you'd have to wait till 10:30 to call and find out) you could be down there and back and have the card installed tomorrow afternoon.

O i didnt see that they dont sell it. I might consider what you said but im only 14 so i may not do that. also have u noticed that the site is screwing up with the pics or is ir just me?

Nope it's not you. Just started for me about 5 minutes ago. Guess someone is playing with forum settings.

Re: video card decision

Ive decided that it would be the best idea to get a new PSU. I want one that will power any new video card and is not expensive($50-$70). Can anyone recomend one for me?

You cant really crap out on the PSU espiecally if you wanna lose 50 bucks cause you bought a crap one...Even though you are 14 try and get some from your parents and pay them back. I would seriously upgrade ram and then video card. Reason being ...if you wanted to play high- some medium thats what its going to take and + a new GPU.

Just look at some GPu's and some sticks of ram and come back. Theres plenty of people that will help you figure it out. But dont do the mistake I did and buy a crap PSU that will blow on you and smell like crap afterwards. haha

Re: video card decision

Ok ive decided that since im going to camp in 3 weeks im going to upgrade after camp since the prices are probably gonna drop. So i was wondering how much do you think the 7600GT is going to drop(in Canadian Dollars). I will be coming back in the middle of august so do u think it will have gone down to under $200 CDN. thx

Re: video card decision

Well, I also live near Toronto ( Pickering ) and I've found on ncix.com a 7600 GT for relatively cheap, being $227 CDN obviously. Not too much over your limit, and its a terrific video card for its money. I've heard with some OCing it could reach 7800GT quality. Just tell your parents 27 bucks isn't the end of the world and that it'll imporve all around performance on your computer, especially for homework.
