I'm thinking of updating my graphics card in my PC since on board graphics = fail.
However I have no idea which graphics card to get.
I'm looking for something that can run new games well, but isn't too expensive.
Any suggestions?

I second the HD5770 as it's fairly cheap and runs DirectX 11, and it doesn't need much power. If that's too expensive either the HD4870 or HD4850, in that order.

    @NinStar, Think what you mean was the threads feature in Discord. You can create a thread similar to a forum and post everything in one place instead of a channel.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    kinda absurd to think they would expect people to search the entire chat history to see if someone already posted what they are posting or edit their own message from months/years ago

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    That's what kind of bothers me. People asking the same question from decades ago. It's like a cycle going round and round. If they can't be arsed to search something so simple and easy to identify, then I can't think for words.
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    the problem is, it is a regular chat channel, discord had forum channels for quite a while now, but the server doesn't have any
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I literally joined expecting to find something specific because their troubleshooting and faq pages are lacking a lot of information

  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    but since they don't have forums it is kinda hard, a lot of messages are either outdated or related to other conversations

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Oof. That's not looking good. Would be good if they at least put some FAQ & troubleshooting pages up; rather than ask somebody who clearly knows very little about the subject.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Outdated stuff that involves hardware modifications is always a bad idea.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I literally only have 500 mb left on my ssd
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    yes, I was specifically looking for more information about the wifi firmware while running ubuntu, their faq is extremely vague on that
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    @kijetesantakalu042 delete your hentai folder
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    @NinStar I store that on google drive. Not my hard drive
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I once had a shared folder on google drive, one of the collaborators was putting porn on it with the file names and extensions all changed to avoid suspicion
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    took me a while to realize
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I have it on a shared folder so the other person will be blamed if someone finds out
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, Just don't store it on Google Drive, ok? Put it in your MEGA folder.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I don't use meganx
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, I use MEGA, has a lot more storage compared to what Google offers.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    Honestly I just want a bigger ssd or extra hard drive
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @kijetesantakalu042, Have something larger like a 1TB SSD, it's about enough for mostly everything you need.
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I just have a 512 gb and I'm saving for my computer build when I finally have more space so I can't really invest in a ssd
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    I only really use my ssd for things I'm constantly accessing on my computer
  • NinStar @ NinStar:
    everything else goes to my hdd
  • kijetesantakalu042 @ kijetesantakalu042:
    I only have an ssd
