I've wasted far more money on Steam games that I don't like and/or don't play than I have hardware.

But the card is still great, infact i personally would rate it one of the best for gaming.

It's just that it's on the lower end of the spectrum, like bottom end really and it just doesn't let me do a few of the things I would really like to get in there and do and also let all of my other pieces run up to their possibilities. It's my own fault and I know it. I just really wish I would have done more research on the board and not been so impulsive about it.

A good card at the time, and even a good one now assuming you have an m-board with a pci slot.
Still, it wasn't $200 good at the time I purchased it, and it never became $200 good because the added memory was never used.

It's my own fault for that one though.toki wrote:Well, I didn't do my homework when getting a motherboard recently. I like the motherboard I got.

About two weeks later I was in possession of a new 5.5" company phone.

The original Nexus 7 I had was pretty damn good. The Toshiba Encore Mini, eh. (It did the job, but not really all that well.)
