My GF4 just died... :( What should I get as a replacement?

[NikPreviousAcct]

NO, MY GODDAMN "GIRLFRIEND" DID NOT FVCKING DIE. READ YOU IGNORANT ASSHATS.

I've got $100 as of right now, but will have $250 as of this coming Wednesday (next week) that I will be able to spend on video. Well, I really shouldn't spend that much, but I need a replacement and I absolutely refuse to put anything less than another GF4 back in my gaming box. I've been out of the video card market for so long that I don't know what's worth the money anymore.

Ideas?

Man... it's getting me down, too. This card was my baby. I bought it online the DAY it came out and it's been roxoren my boxoren ever since.

 

[waggy]

sigh. man i was thinking that was youre GF (girlfriend) just died and wanted to know where to get onother. sigh


anyway get over it. it was a crappy GF4! get a 9800pro for less then $250

 

[RossMAN]

Damn, should have bought the ATI Radeon 9800 Pro when it was $179 out the door at Fry's B&M.

Ross, the 128MB 9800 Pro is 170 online right now.

Make SURE it's not a 128-bit memory model. Make SURE it says 256-bit memory. It's the latest scam they're running on 9800 Pros.

Edit: It's not hard to figure out the right forum either.

ditto, my first glance at the thread title startled me. My GF just died, what should I get as a replacement?

 

[Maleficus]

get the 9800 Pro, should cost ya about 200 like nebor says 256-bit.

 

[andylawcc]

how did the card died? over heat?

 

[beer]

I read this as GF too (not GF4). I was like, 'whoa even for Nik that's a pretty extreme topic'

 

[Shawn]

I got a 256MB Radeon 9600 Pro several months back for around $150 and it rocks! Probably cheaper now.

 

[Evadman]

Jesus, I thought that said your GF just died, and you wanted to know where to find a replacement. Don;t do that to me damnit.

 

[MournSanity]

9800 Pro, I say.

If that were so, it would be his 4th girlfriend. I might be suspicious at that.

You shouldn't shop at places that aren't newegg or zipzoomfly.

I'm not sure. I left the PC running like I always do. I'm running the United Devices cure for cancer and it's usually restarted every few days just for good measure. Otherwise the computer is running 24/7 whether I'm doing anything on it or not. I turned off the monitor to go watch a movie. When I came back, the monitor said it wasn't getting a signal. I checked the cabling and it's all fine. I felt the box and the box was still running. CPU fan was going, HDD was skipping around every so often, but the fan on the card wasn't spinning. So I hit a few keys on the keyboard and moved the mouse, but nothing. I never remember to change the power options after fresh installs not to shut the monitor off. Anyway, I thought that I'd mistakenly left it to shut the monitor off, but no. I restarted the PC and the fan on the card didn't spin up. No posting beeps either. Curious...

Why? They have pretty good reseller ratings.

 

[andylawcc]

can you still "RMA" it ? [if you bought it the day it came out, it should be like a year ago right?)

They tell you nothing about that card. You don't even know if you're getting a built by ATI or what.

[Sid59]

Seriously. Stop thread crapping. Stop making jokes about my "girlfriend" and stop making jokes about my Lindsay Lohan affliction.

Um... it says "ATI Radeon" -by that, they really mean "NVidia Radeon" right?

That's the card that I'll probably get come next week.
