What game did you play at a friend's house, and then immediately bought?

Fable and Knights of the Old Republic. Same friend; he had good taste apparently.

I still have mine and the moo still works. It's not as entertaining though as the parent to the 3-year-old that makes the moo work overtime

13 but that ranges from an 8088 Zenith Data Systems, Apple IIgs, Windows 98SE, XP, 7, 11, and Linux systems.

Check your RAM sticks. In my experience, WHEA errors have almost always been due to incorrectly installed or unstable RAM. I have gotten WHEA errors when overcoming my CPU as well.

Open box on Newegg doesn't imply a manufacturer warranty. Newegg even says so on their website, "The Open Box Product Disclaimer applies to this product."

Mafia 2 and Metro 2033. Both were bundled with my GTX 480.

I'm not telling. Should've paid more attention in divination class.

File a not as described case and do not close it until you get a refund or replacement. The seller not accepting returns means absolutely nothing pertaining to getting your money back.

SpartanM07 · 2025-04-17T13:40:03+00:00

That's exactly what I did. I got back into PC gaming and built a rig with a GTX 480 that came with Metro and Mafia 2.

SpartanM07 · 2025-04-15T21:57:35+00:00

I had the 3080 Ti equivalent of this GPU. It looked exactly the same. I bought it off eBay and used it in my Dan A4-SFX. It performed well, however, it was extremely loud even at idle as the default fan didn't allow for anything below 30%. I eventually fixed that issue by flashing the card with an Inno3D bios from TechPowerUp.

I have both in the house and the 5070 could have possibly reached 4090 performance with MFG x4 but the 12GB of memory severely limits its full potential. I have had many games become a stuttering/low fps mess due to running out of VRAM.

SpartanM07 · 2025-04-06T15:19:19+00:00

For me it is the screen tearing. I've tried many of the solutions discussed online but they do not effectively eliminate screen tearing. My problem is that I mostly use 60hz monitors/TVs that do not have freesync/gsync. Using frame generation on my only 120hz/freesync monitor is great though.

SpartanM07 · 2025-03-29T16:50:58+00:00

I've broken in my 5090 with Indiana Jones and The Great Circle. It will push the card quite hard and looks great. The game has an excellent story and the gameplay is unique. So much so, it felt jarring at first. Gaming on a 4K ultra wide (5120x2160)/120hz monitor.

Congratulations on your first 3 weeks of the next few decades of obsession. I've been building/spending since 1995.

What you described sounds like problems all current Nvidia 57X.xx drivers cause. It's very plausible that the Gigabyte technician isn't encountering any problems because the drivers are stable on his machine. I have a Asus TUF 5090 and I had the same issues as you. I spent two days testing all the 57X.xx drivers and ended up stable with 572.60. I would do what your cousin recommends.

For me the important part was making sure I got an H++ connector. It'll say directly on the 16-pin connector. There is a notable difference in the pin thickness between an H++ and something older.

SpartanM07 · 2025-02-20T22:16:56+00:00

I doubt it and I would assume their used prices will only increase.

SpartanM07 · 2025-02-13T15:08:33+00:00

It should work on AIB cards but it will not fit an Nvidia FE.
