I'm out of commission

Until I get a new graphics card... it's ordered, just have to wait for it to arrive. Just letting the Shroud regulars know what's up. I'll probably be off and on checking ah and doing maintenance, but am unable to actually run any quests

Pulled one too many WoP rapiers for your graphics card, eh?

**alchilito** · 03-02-2009, 01:49 PM

just a tip boldrin

had the same issue, my video card got fried. turns out dusting off the inside of your pc every 3 or 4 months helps.

oh well too late for me.

What's funny... I just did that, and boy it was DUSTY!!! I think the card is beyond repair though, it's ok, gave me a reason to upgrade, just have to wait a few days now.

Turn your settings down, put your machine in an open area then open the case and blow a fan right on it. It'll hold you over 'till your new card arrives.

if you used compressed air can, there is a possibility you had a slightly bad angle, which caused the decompressing air to cool too rapidly, thus causing minute moisture fragments, WHICH does not cause a problem (if this is the case) if you wait 5-15 minutes before turning your rig back on.

Just a possibility my friend!

(next time hold it completely upside down and spray something with it, almost like liquid nitrogen freezing XD)

...something that is not a computer part...

**Robi3.0** · 03-02-2009, 03:05 PM

Back before I upgraded my computer the machine I was running video card sucked. Most nights I would play with the case off and a can of compressed air in my lap. Every time a big fight came I would have to reach over and give it a shot of instant cool down. The money I was sending on compressed air convince me to upgrade.

But whos going to yell at me now when I try to shrine in a speed run...

See you back in the shroud once you have it all sorted mate.

**redraider** · 03-02-2009, 04:08 PM

Beware, dual vid cards really lag in the shroud. 4850x2, 4870x2, sli, etc.

**Asherons_Chosen** · 03-02-2009, 04:45 PM

What card you bought? I got a pretty good one off New Egg after thanksgiving.

1GB Nvidia Geforce 8600GT ... It's not Uber, but it'll get the job done.

I do not mean to affend however this is a misleading statement...
It must be noted "some" people are experiencing problems with dual card configurations.. Not ALL people are...

I have 2 x XFX GTX280 XXX cards running in SLI and the cards themselves pose no issues for me in shroud or anywhere else.Any lag I experience is completely server related!

I wouldnt use water cooling but yes liquid cooling is killer if you want to spend the cash to upgrade your motherboard and hardware. Personally as much as I deploy Ill stick to my laptops.

Nice selection - Btw I was incorrect the other day when I said that was the same one I'm running.

Currently running on an EVGA GeForce 9800GT DDR3 512 (PCI Express 2). Same gig, not uber but gets the job done at pretty much maxed out graphics.

Nice choice man.
