New Video Card Thoughts - 2GB Enough?

HA!  I had to go look at the box in the closet to confirm the card I have.

So ended up with a pretty good deal for a XFX R9 270x card......for $179 I got the following.

- The card itself
- 2 Free New Games
- $20 gift card

So thinking by the time I take advantage of the free games and gift card, the video card itself cost me less than a $100:)  Not too bad....

[GDS_Starfury]

not bad at all.

not bad at all.

For sure....now I just have to wait until Father's day to try the darn thing out:)

I believe the card I purchased indicated the cords come with it, so hopefully I am all set...

How tech savvy is she?
Tell her you need to install it to make sure it works but you promise not to actually 'use it' until next sunday.  ;)

ooooooooooo - its a good one

on a serious note - how long have you got to return faulty kit?

[Grim.Reaper]

Good idea!

I actually could take it out of the box and she likely would never even know if I put it back..with all the packaging it is heavy already:)

But I would feel guilty for the kids...I guess only one week to go.

didnt this happen to you with WiF?!

[GDS_Starfury]

you could install it when no ones home and put the old card in the new cards box.

Darn gifts!!!!!

But my experience with this card better play out better than WIF......my biggest game mistake in a long time!!!
