Tried to get back into simming but... - 11/03/18 03:12 PM

Graphics died shortly after playing some DayZ. Totally bummed out. My second card after the original that came with (GeForce 295 replaced by GeForce 570)
For my Alienware ALX circa 2010 or so. Still have my Gateway running from 2007 which im on now lol. Oh hey and btw the card died on this one too (using factory card). Anyone have a Geforce 9600GT?

Shameless plug
If you have a replacement let me know biggrin

Bummer man. frown

Graphics cards are way overpriced now. Are you sure it is dead? If you still get video but just crashes while gaming, you could try underclocking yours using something like MSI Afterburner.

I am about to go out of town but I will look in the closet. I think I have a GTX970 (best of the lot) that I will give you.

EDIT:
Just checked. The best I have is a Zotac GTX980. It is not a small card but if it will fit in your case I can send it out next Friday, if I can find a decent shipping box. I also have some older, smaller cards if that won't fit. (680, 770, 970). No charge, except I would ask that if you are ever in a position to help someone else, please do so.

PM me your address and phone number (UPS likes to have a destination phone number) and I will send the tracking number as soon as I have it.

Once you get up and running, give us your thoughts on how you think Dayz is heading and what it looks and feels like now. I'm waiting for the 'Beta' release before i dive back in again for another look.

You guys are great. My current pc has a GTX 970 4GB card and its probably one of the best I've ever own. I kind of compare it to the other best card I ever owned and that was if memory serves the Nvidia Ti 4600 128mb.
