@ Suicidal - No worries. That's a very rare (Orange) weapon.
It's pretty cool, and I like how it's got a good scope.

I managed to get another game.
So first come, first serve!
Next time you post a code, you should put what game it is, so that if one of us who already has the game sees it, they don't take it. Just an idea:)

A lot of benchmarkers use it because it is VERY stressing when you crank the setting to max.

Looks like I might be getting a GPU soon! YAAYY!!

Nice, have a specific one in mind?

The Asus Matrix 7970 Platinum. Finally found one on ebay that seems legit.

Hey guys, I'm planning my first computer upgrade from a shelf-model computer by adding a video card. My friend recommended the Galaxy Geforce GT 610 to me, and I was wondering if it was worth getting. Any thoughts? Also, which model. Right now, on Newegg, there's 3 different models of the GT 610, so... http://www.newegg.com/Product/ProductList.aspx?Submit=ENE& ;DEPA=0&Order=BESTMATCH&N=-1&isNodeId=1&Descr iption=Galaxy+Geforce+GT+610&x=0&y=0

What are you going to be using the video card for? Just movie watching/surfing the web or do you want to game with it? That is an *entry* level card and I want to make that very clear. Depending on how new your shelf model is, you wouldn't notice a significant difference between that and your integrated card. If you want to do any gaming at all, I would recommend you go a couple steps up. Now that doesn't mean you have to buy the fanciest card out there but that 610 just isn't worth the money. Also keep in mind when upgrading cards, you also have to make sure your power supply unit (PSU) can handle the increase associated with more powerful cards.

At this point, mostly gaming, though I have little to no experience with computer hardware at this point beyond the past couple months. Right now, I'm using a work-oriented ~5 year old computer, and I'm going to be building up a computer from scratch soon. I was mostly going for a video card that I can integrate into my current computer, then swap into my custom rig when the rest of the parts were put together, though that won't happen for a few months. Any suggestions for a decent video card? I'd mostly be playing games such as Planetside 2, though exceptional graphics aren't a "must have" for me.

If you're gaming, then no. It isn't worth the money at all, it wont run anything...

No worries, I'll help you out. What price range are you looking at? The reason I ask is because you don't want to get a crappy card and then put that card into your expensive rig when you build it. Computers aren't future proof because of new hardware coming out every 6 months etc... but it's better to get a decent video card up front even if you don't end up upgrading for a while.

That card couldn't even run Source games on high graphics. How much money can you spend? Also, since you're upgrading a prebuilt, download Speccy (link is in the OP under post #2) and tell us all of your specs. You'll also need to tell us how many watts your PSU is, as anything under 500W would demand an upgrade. Sometimes as little as a $30 PSU can help until you can afford a better one. Your mobo would also have to have a spare PCI x16 lane.

Free Metro 2033... again.

Heh yeah, that does seem a little dead.

So I decided to download and install Max Payne 3 yesterday. I set all of the settings at maximum (which requires over 2 GB of VRAM), and it was really pushing my SLI GTX 670s. It made Metro 2033 look like a walk in the park in comparison.
