My friend range sent me his old GTX 4850 a few days ago because he got a new PC and was too lazy to send it any earlier (he even got his step-mom to deliver it for him). It just arrived, so I went to the store and bought a molex to 6-pin power adapter for it. I'm back, and my torrents are going crazy (like 5mbps DL LOL!), so I'm delaying my system shutdown for a little bit until they slow down.
Anyway, I'm going to install it, and if all goes well (which it probably won't, because I'm me), I might finally be ready to make a movie! :OOOO
All I've been waiting for was a graphics card so I could capture in MME, because I have no QL content and Wolfcam still doesn't feel right. I might also be able to get a steady 125fps in Quake for the first time EVER! What an occasion! I'll also be able to play relatively modern games without having to turn everything on "ugly as shit" and still barely get 30fps. And I'll have FBO support... and Pixel Shader 2.0 or whatever... XReaL and Q3Bers, HERE I COME!
The thing was dusty as hell, though, and I didn't want to dismantle it to clean it, so I blew at it with some compressed air and it seems a lot better now. What kind of asshole sends a graphics card that's caked with dust? Come on...
