Hey fellas,
My GPU is dead and I have no means of replacing it in the foreseeable future.
Flight simming is my only joy left.
Does anyone have a half-decent video card not in use they could part with ? I might be able to cover shipping, depending.
Or, I am also open to any contributions towards a replacement on paypal, mech.driver@rogers.com.
Thanks for reading this.

Can you give some idea as to what you're looking for? (Type card etc) Probably best to include info on what sims/games you play as well. Check PM

Mainly flight sims, BMS and P3dV4 andso a mid range GPU would suffice (say in the 900 series etc.) since neither sim fully leverages the GPU.
I am in the Toronto area.
Thanks for the reply.

Could you possibly provide more detail about your system? Specifically, what brand/model (what we're looking for is the size of the chassis), and also how big (in watts) is the power supply? Any time a GPU is being installed, you have to consider power and space.
Thanks, Sure thing: home built, 750w PSU, full tower chassis. Current CPU 4670K, 16 GB RAM, not stellar but adequate.

Any luck with getting a new card yet? Unfortunately, the only thing I have available is an old Radeon HD7870 and it's only got 2GB, so you won't be playing DCS with that.
