Graphics Card Luck

I ordered an OEM GeForce 6600GT (£119 from lowestonweb.com to go with my new PC too (because I vaguely remembered Mr B saying something about it at the beginning of the night on New Year's Eve).

OEM stuff is usually supposed to be just the component, no packaging, software or manuals, which is why it's cheaper - mine arrived yesterday, a fully boxed, retail Leadtek card (which won Editors Choice in three of the reviews I've found), with a free DVI cable, and full copies of Prince of Persia - Sands of Time and Splinter Cell - Pandora Tomorrow!

BOOOOOOOONUS Grin

It's a good site for bits, check it out.

Well, after the usual night of formatting and installing drivers, I can report that the new PC and card are both F******G fast.

I can run every game I own at 1280x1024, with everything else set to maximum, and nothing slows down Smile Smile Grin
