Sorry dude, I did have one similar to that, but just recently gave it away. Best I can do is an older 4850

Not sure what else to do at this point - I can't work till my rig is back up and running. Not that I can afford to right now, but I may have to just build a new rig on ccard

When it rains it pours...

Is it more than just you're vid card? If you just need to have it for work won't the onboard graphics work for you? And if you just need a new card why are you talking about building a new rig? Also you may want to post in the pc hardware section, you might get more people seeing it there.

good response. I "feel" its my vid card as I've been noticing it drag as well as 2 days ago while in-game it completely went black after a huge triangle of fuzzy snow appeared - would not recover. It will probably most likely be my mobo as it's been a POS ever since I installed win7 and lately has had starting and shutting down probs. It appears more to be a hardware prob instead of an OS.

I'll see if I can move this thread to where you suggested, thannks!

as for replacing parts vs building a new rig:
I'm not in the market to do either, but I'm thinking the lesser worst is replacing parts however the best end all is to simply update by a new rig then when I got extra money later I can scrap what's good from my current setup and make it a second cpu.
