Windows 7 - looking for a graphics card, need help picking one out

Unfortunately, everything is subject to 'break' or malfunction. There is no guarantee with any computer parts. Some are more durable than others. That's why it is important to read the user feedback. Graphics cards are no different than any other component.

alright thanks very much... btw, who is that guy on your profile pic? he seems so familiar but i just cant remember!

I think its Chewbacca from Star wars lol.

But seriously, you can never tell if a card will last or not but of course they come with manufacturer warantees, some are 1 year some are 3 depending on what brand.

It's "Old Steve'owan Kenobi" ! Did we ever learn what the OP's PSU make and model is?

essenbe · 02-04-2012

Not exactly, Alan. He has an HP PSU and is unsure of the specs. Ivan discussed PSU's in the beginning of the thread.

EDIT: But thanks for checking that all the bases are covered. I need all the help I can get.
