And one day it just wouldn't come back on

tbf it could handle every game at console fps that had been released at the time

And yes, each of those falsely detected cards wanted its own drivers.

i was amazed to finally have lights on the street on NFS carbon when i finally got me a 8800GT
iirc this was back when NFS carbon was the latest one

Like what the fuck even, radeon /asus

shut up

you post memes

be the change you want to see

people who post that are the people who do nothing but leech off our memes

youre just like a black person on welfare

Also apparently it was important to install drivers 3 and 5, the rest was fairly skippable.

I post many memes

but stay salty

That was quite possibly the weirdest IT thing I've encountered over my ... well, two decades now, of computers

bacc to computer talk then

aw dood

Finally found a photo worthy spot

the weirdest thing that happened to me was the first time i built a pc

it had this fan that you had to reach back and push on a clip to remove it

i had a mobo that plainly refused to play ball with my gpu

one in three times comp failed to post

i was trying to get it out and my hand slipped and ran along the edge of the plastic fan casing

otherwise worked perfectly

oof

and i was like whatever

and kept working

A fan bit my finger like that once

eventually finished getting the fan out and threw a new one in cuz that one adnt worked, which is why i was changing it

nothing semed wrong

everyone i asked told me it was my psu

i booted the pc up and bam

it didnt boot

apparently i bled all over the mobo, didnt see, and my finger closed up with very very little blood

after getting a corsair AX 850 (which i'm still using today) i was overkill% sure it was NOT the psu

so i gave a computer water damage with my blood after the computer cut me

wow
