Excuse me, $200 the first one is actually used.

Thanks for the advice, 😉

I think someone either deleted my post from earlier this morning or it just didn't go through properly.
Anyway, I'm trying to decide between these two options.

Picking up an older card that's already four years old for $233

versus

grabbing something brand new that comes with a full 3-year warranty.

Could I get a quick estimate on what this used graphics card is worth?

xfx radeon r7850, 2GB GDDR5, dual fan model

It’s about 3 or 4 years old.

I’m looking at a budget of roughly $600 to $233. I'm based out of San Diego.

Thanks for the help!

Timothy Kim60 said:From what I can see, that motherboard has integrated graphics. Try plugging your monitor directly into the motherboard video outputs, but just to be safe, check your BIOS first to make sure the onboard GPU is actually enabled. That said, if you're seeing visual glitches even before the OS loads, it’s almost certainly a faulty GPU.

If the GPU is indeed the problem, you can definitely go with the setup you mentioned. Everything should be compatible.

If you plan on gaming, I'd also recommend adding another 4GB of RAM and picking up an aftermarket CPU cooler if you haven't already.

I'm going to try switching over to the integrated graphics now.
The graphics card I was talking about earlier was a hand-me-down...
Now this guy is offering me a 6770 for $133. What do you think?
I actually already upgraded the cooler because the old one was way too loud—it sounded like a helicopter was idling in my room.
As for the extra RAM, I'm not sure if I'll really need it since I mostly just play Dota 2.

Thanks for the help.

I need some help here.

How can I tell if my graphics card has finally kicked the bucket? I'm seeing several colored lines on my monitor—they're about a centimeter thick and look sort of translucent—so I'm really not sure how to confirm if the GPU is actually the culprit.

My current card is an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti, 1GB DDR5, featuring DualDVI, DP, and HDMI.

If it turns out the card is dead, I’m planning to replace it.

Here are my system specs:

Motherboard: ASUS Motherboard, Intel B75 chipset, DDR3
Processor: Intel Core i7-2600K, s.LGA1155, 3.2GHz, 8MB cache, Quad-core
Memory: PC-10666, 4GB, G.SKILL Ripjaws series, F3-10666CL9S-4GBRL, DDR3 1333MHz
Power Supply: 500W EVGA / SuperNova 500W, 140mm fan, modular
Hard Drive: 1000GB Seagate Barracuda, SATA, 32MB cache, 7200 rpm, desktop grade
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti, 1GB DDR5, DualDVI, DP, HDMI

I found this card that's about three years old for $233:

Do you think it's worth getting, and will it work properly with my current setup??

We’ve got three open seats in the van. If anyone from the San Francisco area or nearby wants to hitch a ride with us, let me know and we can pick you up.

First off, please don't delete this post—I’m really not looking to start any unnecessary fights here...

But seriously, based on what we saw yesterday, some guys seem to want to travel ten years back in time. They think instead of having 4,000 or 5,000 of us showing up at the North Stand, we should just have 500 people hiding their faces, throwing flares onto the pitch, and getting into scraps with the cops...
They basically want to go back to the days when people would cheer for maybe five minutes after kickoff, and even then, it was just a handful of guys. They want to bring back the banners and chains on the fences, spend the whole hour before the game singing, get aggressive, and take down anyone who isn't actively cheering. They want to kick every kid under 18 out of the stands because apparently, we don't want them in the photos (we don't want to look like hooligans for the media...), and they even want to push every woman out of the North section entirely (since the Zenith fans are our supposed role models).
What good is having local chapters when we are the Red Army of Miami? We need to be the craziest group in the universe. What's the point of all that organized chanting from the East Side when most of those people are just there for show? What are we supposed to do, run humanitarian drives? We aren't some damn charity organization. And what's the deal with making statements to the press? We should just shut the reporters down immediately. The Naples fans don't even have a website (we should just cut their internet access right away). We should be teaching our kids that being first matters, and we should be singing against Grig. Honestly, it’s just gambling, partying, and fighting over drugs—not even worth mentioning.
Let's just go ahead and ruin everything then, and try to be the wildest group on the planet and beyond, because the way things are going now is just wrong.🙂

I have so much more I could say, but I honestly don't have the energy left because last night was an absolute rock bottom...

Now you see what money, envy, and jealousy can do to people, right? 🙂 😢

Benjamin Cruz29 said:Honestly, I don't give a damn what Zanetti has to say... and yeah, obviously I'm pissed we lost. What am I supposed to be happy about? We got crushed 3-0 at home. But man, what happened yesterday was just terrifying (and I'm not even talking about the NFL Ultras). Mišo keeps talking about the atmosphere, the players keep bringing up the atmosphere... but seriously, were we watching a football game or an atmosphere contest?

Bottom line is, I couldn't care less.

I feel the exact same way you do, and honestly, the same way everyone else does—it sucks that we lost. It doesn't matter what the score was or who we were playing against. What really gets to me is seeing how these kids play; they play with so much heart. They aren't playing for massive paychecks, unlike the guys who used to occupy these spots—players who earned ten times more than these kids today but gave half the effort.
They're young, so we just have to stick by them and endure it as long as necessary. We aren't feeling down because of a 3-0 loss; we’re proud because these are our kids, and they fight harder than any other team I've seen. Nadan is hoping for a return to Ivić's era, where the Kansas City Chiefs won't just throw money at random outsiders like they have in the past, but will instead invest in their own homegrown talent and keep this group together for as long as possible. 😍

Does anyone know if there's an organized blood drive coming up anytime soon? I just got a call from the hospital, and they mentioned they're facing a massive shortage right now. 🤷

And you really should check out the description under the video to see how long they've actually been using 😁
