So, as listed in my signature, is my trusty Velocity Micro computer. It's been through a lot, and I haven't asked for much more from it. I might toss some extra ram in there, as 2GB might be a bit anemic, but eh.
However, what I've been noticing lately is that my X1950 Pro (One of the ATI ones) has developed a massive overheating issue. If I don't aim a fan at my case and open the side, the card will overheat at the lowest settings for 1280x1024 in a game like Project Reality or Company of Heroes, and then crash my computer. So I'm now looking for a replacement video card, but one that won't be bottlenecked by my overclocked E6400 (Yes, it's old. Nearly 4 years old.) I have access to a OCZ 700W power supply if need be.
I''m an NVIDIA guy but I'm open to suggestions. I am moving to a 1080P display, so I would like to play most recent games at full settings. To be honest, I'd settle for Project Reality at max at that resolution.
