Me & My Graphics Card

I would had loved to get the EVGA GeForce GTX480 but it cost hundreds more [I got this one for $169.99. The original price was $229.99].  The only problem I’m having with this card at the moment is The Sims 3. I should say The Sims 3 have a problem with my card concerning compatibility issues. When I cut the game up to it’s highest settings, it crashes straight to desktop. It didn’t do that with my GeForce 7950. Then again, that card is compatible with The Sims 3 and is a damn good card.

Newegg should send me some type of deal for being a constant customer. I’ve bought several items from them in under 2 weeks. My 25″ Hanns-G monitor will be here tomorrow.

I’m like a kid at a toy store. I’m planning on getting me another processor too. It’s going to be AMD because that’s what my MSI motherboard takes – duh. I do know one thing, I’m going to be in gaming heaven when my monitor gets here.
