Aaaargh!!!
How is this possible?!
My 3D card just died horribly... the fan blew (no pun intended) and caused the processor to fry and the memory seemed to follow its lead and snuff it too.
Result: I cannot use my computer AT ALL as there is no signal going to the moniter.
Solution: Reshuffle Christmas list to include a new 3D card.*
Finally, does anyone have any suggestions for stockists or retailers? I'm prepared to spend about £200 on a card. As a general rule I won't even look at something that isn't ATi or nVidia (sounds picky I suppose but...)
So does anyone have any ideas about what card to buy and better still, where from? (N.B. Must ship to UK
)
Much appreciated...
EDIT: * Yes I am aware that any order will not arrive until mid-Jan optimistically but it never hurts to be prepared.
I'm not evil, just morally challenged
