This Blog Is Full Of Crap

Well, I finally got my new video card from the woot-off delivered yesterday evening.

The problem is, my Gateway desktop is too short to fit a normal video card, so I have to settle for compact or half-height video cards.

I also have to use short brackets for expansion cards, which means the card that was already in there had to provide the bracket for the new card.

Sure, they were both ATI Radeons, but the old one had a normal VGA output and the new one had an HDMI output.

So, for the time being, the card is in there without a bracket, but it's seated quite nicely and the clip on the PCI-E slot is holding it in place.

Oh, and it's much, much faster in all the basic tests as well as more stable with SL.

Well, okay. I didn't put it through all of its paces with a high number of avatars on the screen at once, but it sure rendered up textures quickly on those I was around.

We'll see how well it holds up. I'm going to hold on to the old cart for a few days until it gets Bobbed.
