first time you got your graphics card

[Licardo7]

well, I just orders my 8600gt yesterday and I need to know the proper way to react when I get it. Should I jump around saying gibberish or should I be simpler and just start trash my place?

I need help so can you guys help me out, how did you react when you got your 8600, 8800(lucky bastard) or what ever?

P.S: don't know if this is the proper section so if you need to move it, please do.

So you are asking how to react when you get your graphics card?

If so, you're crazy. What kinda topic is this?

 

[xcalibur]

Take the graphics card and throw it out of the window.
Alternatively stick it in your pc and play games.

I find it weird being spastic and all over a graphics card... WTH?

The first time I got my graphics card... okay it looks good... Aaaahhh... I just got The Sims as a present...YAY!

 

[Trolly]

Well, I guess I was pretty pleased last time I got a graphics card separately, seeing as I could finally play Half-Life 2 and Doom 3.
I didn't exactly jump around though :\. Just put it in and started playing.

 

[Licardo7]

maybe I'll just become speechless and every day just stare at it for one month then play it.

How I reacted? Well considering how long ago it was and my general knowledge at the time I had someone put it in for me at the store so it was warranted on their dime. I was happy, but didn't act stupid, but it really opened some doors like DOOM and stuff.

Best reaction would be to place the graphics card in a package, go to the post office and ill pm you the address. Then send me it and thats how you would react.

Its just a graphics card dude, calm down.

I wouldn't celebrate at all for a measly 8600 GT. Now if I got a 4870X2, I'd go apeshit all over the house.

If I got 9800GT myself that make me super lucky bastard? Lol?

 

[junk_man32]

got me some triple gtx 280's, nice but there is a heat problem and im gonna sell one for 50 bucks since less people are fortunate, its on ebay just look for it, if noone bids, ill give it to my friend.

 

[Vulpes Abnocto]

The best way to celebrate a new graphics card is with porn...err....by testing all your games and grinning like a madman.

 

[cepheus]

congrats on your first.

an 8600gt is still pretty good these days.


my very first video card was a 4mb ati card! I think I used it to play DOOM!

Yeah, you never forget your first.

Mine was a Voodoo 3 PCI (16 mb, I think) . I was finally able to get my P1 100 mhz to run Quake (1). On a LAN no less.

 

[gekiwolf]

Mine was a geforce fx 5200. The reaction I got was "holy crap my pc is smoking!!!". I burned my power supply with it lol.

 

[Raestloz]

My first graphics card is GeForce 7200 SE, sadly I obtained it 3 months ago

and it's still along way before I got my hands on 9600 GT

Although, the first time I got my graphics card I thought I've owned my entire family member, sadly, it's not true.

Now that's what I call a hot PC

(I know, bad pun) I know I shouldn't get crazy but this is my first grfx are and it's probably a HUGE step up from my current grfx card so I want it to be a 'special' moment, with lots of lotion lol

Yes

 

[Satangel]

I've got a 8800GTS 512MB, so that would make me a lucky bastard

 

[Canonbeat234]

No one thought me how to install an graphics card. I know how to build a computer but I don't know how to install an graphics card. =/ I'm such a noob. I don't even know how to set up my avatar!!! >_
