Such a perfect day...

[technicks]

Well this has been a great day for me.:D

It started with my new Nike's. I ordered 2 pairs on Ebay and their here. They are so cool.
1 pair Nike air Jordan 5 and the others Nike air Trainer 3. Both classic Nike's.
So cheap to buy shoes from the States on Ebay, if you live in Europe.:)

Then i got the message that my Foxconn 8800 GTS was on it's way. Even better i thought.
Later today i called Asus about my 2 dead pixels in my new 22'' monitor. This was the third time i called them. The last two times they said it was not covered by their pixel policy.:shadedshu
But today i said that there were more then two dead pixels per 1.000.000 and the guy went for it.:toast:
He gave the OK to take it back. So i asked him if i get a replacement monitor when they pick it up. First he said no. That they would look at it. And if it was broken then i would get another one.
So i was like wtf i payed 300 euro's for a broken monitor and this is your service?
I told him that all my hardware was Asus.:roll: After waiting a few minutes he came back on the phone to say that my monitor would be replaced when they pick up mine.:rockout:

So all and all this was a great day.:)

very cool.... congrats

[technicks]

Thanks.:) I'm very relieved to know that my monitor is getting replaced. Gets annoying looking at a few black dots. :D

[Alcpone]

Nice 1 technicks :)

I hope they dont refuse the monitor when they get it though, here in the uk its 7 dead pixels before they will do anything, which is shit I wreckon, 1 is bad enough but 7 before they will rma it??? Maybe its less now but it was 3 years ago!

Im sure you will love your GTS though :cool:

[technicks]

Thanks m8. i think i will enjoy it to.
Collin McRea Dirt will be awesome.

My dead pixels are next to each other so it's more like a small line then a dot.

Oh yeah, and what do they want to do take the new one back after they gave it to me.
I will kick their ass. LOL

[infrared]

which gts did you order? 320 or 640? :)

[technicks]

I ordered the 320 version. I will go for SLI when the prices drop a bit.
And will get a different cpu/mobo of course. Maybe C2D E6600.
Basically bought this one because i got good money for my X1950XT.

[Alcpone]

CMD is really good, graphics and physics are amazing, I can run high on everything not ultra because aint got enough gfx mem even @ 1024x768, still looks great on high :)

I would get a quad when the prices drop on july 22nd instead of E6600, thats what im gonna do :cool:

[technicks]

Depending on the price of course.;):laugh:

[Alcpone]

You cant put a price on happiness :laugh:

Im going to "cough cough" import mine from the states, should work out £150 after all is said and done :D

[Conti027]

way to go

[Tatty_One]

Yeah, there are already DX9 games that need more than 512MB GDDR to run in ultra settings and rumour has it that there will be even more when DX10 games get released.

Ohhhh and well done, not many days like today for you so celebrate with a few beers and your fave game!

[technicks]

Importing from the States is great these days.:laugh:

[technicks]

What would be the best drivers for my new card? Should i use tweaked drivers or just the normal ones?

[technicks]

Yeah, there are already DX9 games that need more than 512MB GDDR to run in ultra settings and rumour has it that there will be even more when DX10 games get released.

Ohhhh and well done, not many days like today for you so celebrate with a few beers and your fave game!

Thats for sure.:toast::pimp:
