Trying a Hail Mary to save my old PC by grabbing a new GPU
I picked up an NVIDIA GeForce RTX, thinking maybe I'd just crash the whole system and finally be forced to buy a new rig.
Installed the card, and now I'm just staring at this error message on my screen.
Tried uninstalling the driver and then reinstalling it on macOS, but nothing's working. I guess.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Lynx is fine for installments, though their selection can be pretty weak sometimes. Just let me know which card you have and how many payments you need, and we'll see.

BTW, I'm moving this to its own dedicated thread under desktop PCs.

Thanks
Can I get 4-6 monthly installments through Lynx? I have one here in town, or does anyone have experience with this place downtown?
looks like they allow American Express installments online too, I think.
Thanks for the help everyone.

Timothy Kim60 said:That’s a bit better. I guess it depends if you're paying cash or using financing? If it's cash, let me help you put something together. You get free assembly and shipping anyway, so there's really no point in buying a pre-built. It’s probably better for warranty stuff too.

and I'm looking at financing
So, wouldn't it be possible to just pick up a build from a more well-stocked shop on a payment plan, maybe something you put together for me?
Are you saying I could just send you a parts list and pay via installments? Is that actually an option?

Thanks for the info

Brand new with a 24-month warranty, pre-built from the store
maybe something like this

Same shop, same deal $1667

I see about 100 open threads on gaming PCs already, so I won't clutter things up by starting a new one.
I'm looking for a new rig and some peripherals, specifically this:
Is this build actually worth it $1667 or should I try to put together something better?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Also, there's this American pop singer performing this, but his name escapes me... anyone recognize him?
