Rave

Thanks everyone! I switched the cards, and after some trouble getting my desk top to stop reading at 800x600 so I could reach my icons...it worked! I know this is an older card, but growing up only playing consoles and never even seeing what a pc game can look like, I was blown away. I only tested Farcry 2-3 and ran around in team fortress but I was very impressed with the difference. Besides farcry 3 which runs at medium settings at 1080p at about 50 frames both the other 2 are a solid 60 both basically maxed. And a nice cherry on top was buying the humble Indy bundle for some great games. Between today and Crusader King 2 sale on the weekend I am set for sometime. Thanks again everyone for the help

Ok I'll give this a shot anyone done this with widows 8? The lack of a safe mode worries me.

So I uninstall after I swap the cards or before hand? I am going to try this again tonight after work. Thanks for all the help guys it's appreciated!

So its as simple as just plugging in the older card and starting back up? There wont be any incompatibilities? You have just made this alot easier if so I hope its true. Is this the case going down generation of cards as well? (I am guessing this isnt a normal situation and most people actually upgrade). WIndows 8 crashed when using driversweeper yesterday and I had to do a full system restore (lost some files and data) so not having to use driver sweeper would be a godsend.

Thanks guys, is there a simply way to uninstall drivers for windows 8? I used disk sweeper last night to try and clean the drivers before switching the cards and windows crashed and wouldn't start up. Without safe mode I couldn't get back in and ended up having to do a system restore which ended up being a pain in the arse.

Thanks I'm going to try making the switch tonight. I should have enough power I think I have 460 watt. Hopefully between this and 8 gigs of ram ill be ok with holding off on a card (7870 might be my next upgrade) for a few months.

Yeah that's what's confused me, I don't want to change the card if this is a step down. I am h in trouble with my card at 1080p and according to that comparison the other card is suppose to be better. The 57 is from 2009 and the 75 is from 2012. I really hope someone with some knowledge on this could help me out. I'm so new to computers this all seems very confusing and intimidating!

Hopefully this is the right board to ask this. I just bought an Hp Envy, as my first foray into pc gaming. The computer has been a nice step up from my laptop and I was fully aware that the video card wasnt great. A friend has a card that apparently rates higher that he is willing to give me. We just aren't 100% if it is a better card (it's much older) I can't really get a new card until atleast the fall so this is my only chance to upgrade the card. http://www.game-debate.com/gpu/index.php?gid=678&gid2=417&compare=radeon-hd-7570-vs-radeon-hd-5750-1024mb I have a 7570 he is offering the 5750. We just aren't sure if there is a 2gig version of my card because if there is we can't find a comparison for it. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Sorry to drag up such an old topic again, I just finished reading this today and loved it. I feel like maybe I missed something or am reading to much into the book. I feel like the book relying so heavily on the unreliable narrator trope also plays into the ending. Is it possible Tony slept with Veronica's mother and is the father of Adrian 2, and then pointed Adrian 1 towards a relationship with the mother as well who upon learning she was pregnant killed himself? Maybe the book really was as simple as it being Adrian, but I still feel the lessons the impact of the whole story. Veronica's anger against Tony would seem unfair and misplaced. If Tony is the father then he him not understanding the situation persists right to the end. Also why would Tonys presence make Adrian 2 uncomfortable unless he knew it was his father. Anyone able to answer this in any certainty for me?

Hey first time posting here but I just have to say how much I love this game. Ive been in a game with Dibs and even with me almost about to lose its been alot of fun.
