Graphics cards

[Sami. Smith]

Well basically i have found out that when i bought this ACER i got a year guarantee, so therefore should i open and void the warranty or should i just wait.

Does it void the warrenty just by openning the case? Really only you know the answer to your question, it depends on how much you want a new graphics card.

suppose if i did open it, what would be a good power supply for my pc when getting this graphics card and is this gfx car worth the money...

Play.com (UK) : PNY XLR8 GeForce GTX 260 V2 / 896MB DDR3 / PCI Express 2.0 / Graphics Card : Computing - Free Delivery

You won't void the warranty by opening it. There isn't a sticker on the side panel that you have to cut saying, "If you break this seal, this voids the manufacturers warranty," like a PS2.

 

[Sami. Smith]

thats what i thought but when i had a look there is an acer sticker saying exactly that.....

i am so unsure on power supples.

Powersupplies are dangerous don't open it unless its been unused (unpowered) for 48 hours or else you could end up on the opposite side of the room. Some of them do have stickers saying the warranty is void if opened just depends.

quick question for anyone who can answer.
Ive purchased the GTX 260 EVGA Nidia GeForce graphics card and i have a 19" monitor.

the benchmark reviews on this were done with a 30" HD monitor and on Cod 4 the FPS were around 60.
if i played COD4 with highest resolution with a 19" monitor. what do you think the estimated FPS would be for me?

 

[philbar71]

around 60-120 most likely. probably more

you may have vsync on. You should be getting over 100fps.

What is the rest of your setup (ram, CPU)?
