This would be a net loss to you.

This is what's known as "cutting off your nose to spite your face".

As has been pointed out.
You used a credit card to pay for POINTS.
The points were delivered to you.
How you distribute those points are up to you. But they are one-time-use ONLY with NO refunds.
If you want to purpose-kill a 7 year vet account over one power set you bought that you don't happen to like, that's on you. I'd call an action like that crazy though.

Sorry, but this kind of accusatory tone isn't conducive to a civil discussion.

Tanking kids is harder, and cooler, than anything in the game. And NO amount of IOs can make someone do it well if they suck at it.
Luckily, having backup tanks (like mom) can be invaluable.

Oh. One last thing. Take a look at the amount of memory on the thing too.

There are 550's sporting 1GB and 550's sporting 2GB.

If you're sticking with a 32-bit OS, you do NOT want a 2GB unit, as it will impinge (disastrously) on your system memory footprint.

If you're moving to 64-bit and/or upping system memory, it's your choice. The 2GB unit would give smoother framerates at higher resolutions.

Also, if you're looking to upgrade memory, the previous link is to memory guaranteed to work for your particular machine. You can chuck up to 16GB into your machine for a grand total of about $110 US.

If you're actually in the UK, use this link instead. The 8GB kits are £40 including VAT. So 16GB would run you about £80, shipped.

Okay, it took a bit of looking but I found out your PSU is a 460W unit.
What you're going to want to do is pop the side and see if it has a connector in there that looks like this:



If not, there are adapter cables that can be used to daisy-chain off a regular molex connector.






If you have one expansion slot free right next to the current lot where your existing video card is, you should be golden.

I have a few with names turned on. And my gallery software normally slurps out the metadata. However, it turns out that it only really works for the people on my specific team. Otherwise I'd have a huge chunk of metadata.

So no complete name lists of all the attendees.

Okay now. THAT is a pic of just pure Awesomesauce!

I nabbed a good two-tree pictures myself. KR1. Here's a few samples. Click on them for the full 1920x1080.

Usually the differences are fairly minor.

Some of the EVGA ones are slightly factory overclocked. But, for the most part, a GTX550 Ti is a GTX550 Ti.

Just remember 2 things:

• Your power supply needs a 6-pin power connector for this (and should be over 400W).
• You'll need two expansion slots worth of space to install it. Even if the mount-plate is a single-slot.

C4 Suppository?
Check.
Det-cord?
Check.
Detonator with Big Red Button?
*PRESS*
*SPLAT!*
Check!

Likely because they've had so many failed transaction attempts on your account right now.

All I can say is NCSoft's system is one of the ****ing DUMBEST I've seen in several years. I know they want to guard against chargebacks. But they've got so many people right now essentially doing this:

Dumb question. HOW did you update the drivers?

Install over the top of the existing?
Uninstall/Reinstall?
Uninstall/DriverCleaner/Reinstall?

No install necessary in either case.

Take a look at the "Help Me!" link in my sig (second to last one).

Heh. We were all convinced that she was going to outlive all of us.

Sheer spite might not be a very attractive thing. But damn it if can't motivate people!

Kinda. Currently, for nVidia, it works like this.

The first number indicates the generation of the card.

260
460
560

The second number indicates the card's class.

A 480 is more powerful than a 470 which is more powerful than a 460.

The third number is, occasionally, used for various "half-step" cards. Usually these cards are identical to the next model up but in some way "crippled" or specialty cards (like single-card SLI setups). You tend not to see these cards on the market very long before they're succeeded by a dedicated product to fill that space (i.e. the GTX465).

Pfft. You're talking to someone whose grandmother survived a bunch of massive strokes in the mid-80's. They didn't understand about physical therapy back then. She had muscle contractions and they just cut the tendons, leaving her with two clubs on her left side. But she still managed to get around.

Then again, she outlived all the doctors who told her she didn't have 5 years left (on multiple occasions over a 15 year period) and only just died a couple weeks ago. Since Hell hasn't had any reports of unusual activity, I'm assuming she's taken charge upstairs and is putting God through his paces (poor SOB) right about now.

That's the thing about such rules though. Like actual thumbs, they're made to be broken.



*Shoves his Chicago-boy upbringing back into a dark closet*

Ahem. Now where was I?

Aphorisms are nice and all. But it's usually better to get data before trading them, as such aphorisms can be highly situational.

Then again, I could trade stories about having TWO uncles who've had thumbs cut off...



Now where'd I put the damn lock for that closet...

Yep. But I hadn't read that far yet.

I have tried it. In both directions (2.0 card on a 1.0 board and a 1.0 card on a 2.0 board). Zero issues in largely multiple instances of implementation.

He'd never notice it since the CPU wouldn't be able to keep such a card supplied with data anyhoo.
