Video Card retardation

Last weekend I was playing Quakewars and was getting annoyed at the lack of FPS and annoying resolution of my laptop, I decided I would buy a new video card for my shuttle and bring it back from its grave.

I went onto scan.co.uk and ordered a 7600GS with 512mb which was clearly in stock and then the next day they say its actually not in stock.

I cancelled the order and went onto dabs.com and ordered another one, again, clearly in stock, however 2 days later they couldnt dispatch it because my cardholders address was different to my delivery address....really it wasnt.

Then I went onto overclockers and ordered another, it arrives today...a 256mb version worth £15 less than the one I ordered. I ask them to collect it and dispatch another, "I'm sorry, we cannot dispatch it until we've received and inspected the original." They couldnt pickup until Monday, I wouldnt get a replacement until Wednesday...

HONESTLY, 10 days for a fucking video card?

Will attempt going back to Scan, as they've now lowered their prices and kindly offered me free shipping because of my earlier problems. Lets see if I actually get it tommorow.

Dear Tosspot,

I wish you the best of luck to get a better video card, because it seems to me that you are very annoyed by it.

PS: ret4dz0-r
I need to buy a whole new pc to play quake wars with more than 30 fps XO

anyways I think it's mostly cpu dependent, just like et
just go to the shop and buy one...
I have only ~30 with a p4 3.2 ghz, 2048 ddr and a ATi 1950xt pro 512mb, don't expect too much :<
have 30-60fps with 7300LE

Try alternate. I heard they sell 8800GTX upgrades for 20 euros :P
addict :D

btw QW for u guys is like radar for me ;<
you should consider tweaking config then, you've got good enough pc to hold 100 on 6on6
Parent
playing with urtier's config (detailed) so hmm
any suggestions? supply & braundorf is 80-100 stable

but maps like radar, oasis etc is a disaster :(

especially in 6v6 lots of spam, action , major fps drops
