Thread: Ultra High?

I have!
Got some new beef to the barbeque now;
275GTX and some more sticks of RAM. Still on my trustworthy E6600 though (!)

I've been running Ultra High AA x 16 for the last few months. Unfortunately my ATI 5770 decided to die on Sunday afternoon so for the moment I'm back to Low

There are those moments though when you forget your underfire and your jaw just drops at the sunset or something.

Now that sucks.
My previous card drooped dead too (8800Ultra)!

Hope you'll get a new one soon mate!

I haven't sent it off yet but hopefully will at the weekend. In the meantime I'm borrowing my mates old 8800 until my old 800GT arrives. Unfortunately the 8800 has a broken fan so I have to watch the temperature ingame!

What if you place a static fan next to your PC? So it can blow air through the tower, then you can atleast game.

One of these:

I'm sure we all got a cheap ass thing like that laying around, and it works. I did it with my PC ones too, just right next to it and on low so it can't blow anything out but it can circulate cool air into the thing all the time.

But I don't know if it then reaches the graphics card.

My case fans are currently holding the fort but cheers for the tip Fuchs. Hopefully I'll be able to replace it with a working 800GT at the weekend as a slight improvement

I was in dire need for a good gaming session in a really hot summer and then noticed my computer had been running all day in 30 degrees, it was boiling, even the screen was bleaching because of overheat but a static fan did the trick

I actually needed to use one of those before (my old 8800GTS), after some hours in BF2!
Worked wonders actually!
