Just picked up an XFX ATI Radeon HD 5750 at Best Buy for $169.99.
My first ever ATI card.
Pretty excited.

BRB, REPLACING CRAPPY 9600GT*.
*Now for sale.


Also, bought Razor Death Adder mouse.
I'll update once I'm up and running.


*EDIT*
HARDWAREGASM!!!!
♥♥♥♥' amazing. Good-bye NVIDIA.

Yeah, had my summer job not fallen through I was gonna do pretty much the same thing, along with a new power supply to replace my current one. You lucky bastahd.

It. Is. Awesome.

I can actually play GTA IV on very high detailed everything with no lag/30+fps @1440x900.




...Hey guys, what are some great new games? XD

i personally recomend left 4 dead 2, team fortress 2, red faction gurrila (sorry bout spelling), apb, and supreme commander 2.

I have RFG, but it won't let me save and keeps saying my product key is invalid.
So it's just been sitting in my Games folder.
Also, I have HAWX, but the installation encountered a power surge and it has no sound.

oh, in rfg you have to make a LIVE account, its in the bottom left.

Had one for a while.

Just Cause 2. My HD4780 can barely run it at medium.
Mount&Blade: Warband and 1257AD mod for that. Awesome.
Medieval 2 Total War with The Third Age mod. Conquer the Middle-Earth!
Company of Heroes with Opposing Fronts expansion pack.
Empire: Total War. 'Nuff said.
Assassin's Creed II.
GRID Race Driver, if you are into rally games.
Men of War. Super realistic WWII RTS.

That's some of the games I have.

EDIT: Oh ♥♥♥♥, I almost forgot the most important: Ski Stunt Simulator

EDIT: I've been using only ATI Radeon cards for my entire little life. The ones I remember in the order I think I used them:

Radeon 9400
Radeon 9600
Radeon x800rs (If I remember correctly. This one got overheated and it melted. We applied an emergency fix and I used it for some time.)
Some very crappy old radeon.
Radeon HD4770
Then my big brother switched to HD5780 so I got his HD4780.

DIRT: Codemasters so it's not going to give you any help, but winning a race gives a real kick.
Just cause 2 will run at highest btw.
GTA IV won't 'cause you'll need 2 gigs of video ram.
Bad company 2, noob tube EVERYTHING!!!!
Unreal 3, just plain awesome.

BTW, would you mind writing a review of the deathadder in This topic?

Shattered horizon.
Few people playing it but when you get a collection of six people or more it's fun I tell ya.

I'll try to remember.


And thanks for all the game ideas.
I know for sure that when Crysis 2 is out, I'll be getting it. lol.
Has CODMW2 ever happened for PC?

Yeah MW2 is fun, but it has those few times where you join a group and no one has a good internet to host the game.
MW 2 is kind of a buy buy if you enjoy mindless shooters though, so if oyu actually use some tactic in it, like using claymores as warning signals instead of to kill people, you're gonna go far.

Play Metro 2033 and the Stalker series. Eastern European game dev supremacy.

Crysis is pretty fun; plus, it has a huge-ass modding community so even when I got bored of playing through the main campaign and ♥♥♥♥ around with the editor, I was able to play many many mods and be enjoyable. Oh, and the multiplayer was good before everybody started hacking...

Crysis is one of my favorite games, just for its sheer sandbox-like quality. The game is good enough when you can pick up a barrel, and take out a sniper 50 yards away with it, but then you add cheats (not multiplayer) and it just gets amazing the amount of havoc you can wreak.
