Picked this up for $110 with $50 mail in rebate.

Frys honors rebates, even if the manufacturer doesn’t.

Can’t wait to see what an improvement to GTAIV this thing makes.

Next friday = quad core (waiting on paycheck)

I’m sorry, but Saints Row 2 kinda sucked ass. It was like playing a GTA that is constantly glitching. Didn’t feel right at all when I was playing it.

Saints Row 2 was fucking awesome. No glitchy shit here, problem is on your end.

when he leaves his parent’s house he’ll work out the value of money and have to pawn all the shit he’s bought for 1/5th of what he bought it for

The dude can’t even buy gender appropriate clothing. At this point it’s not a question of “when”, but a question of “if”.

Fry’s is very notorious for not returning MIR’s. So 4+ months from now if you get the check you’ll have to post it.

Yeah I am starting to realize that and I’m never doing mail in rebated again.

I have got the rebates back on time with no problem at all for a couple of $15 MIR’s.

The LCD touch screen temp/fan control touch-1000 by aerocool went through – costing me only $10 compared to $50 on newegg.

But I took the card back for 2 reasons:

Most important: It just DIED when I ran furmark reliability test on it. Crapped out at about 80C.

#2: rebates of $50 don’t seem to want to be honored.

I will not forget my $50 for this case and I will get the money for it eventually.

Not going to help at all. Game still runs pretty lousy on a GTX 260 without turning most of the settings down.

If he will buy two/three generations old tech, more fool him.

I like the point where he says ‘Quad Core’ coming at the weekend. Could be anything from a Phenom X4 to a Core i7-950 for all we know. Let’s just hope he pays enough for a 950 to get a PhX4, eh?

I’ve decided to just wait till I can afford an SLI/xfire board and ram first.

Then I will get 2 moderate 1gb cards.

No point in staying with a mobo that only has one pciex16 and 95w cpu max and ddr2 ram.

I was holding out but he said it and I agree.. just based on your track record here. This is not Facebook we dont give a shit about your shitty random pics. That card was top of the line 5 years ago.
