actually forget that, i need to update the drivers anyway so i'll do that

NathanL · 11 Jun 2017 at 11:12

Will I need to uninstall if the drivers support both cards?

If there's someone in to accept delivery, I'll put it in tomorrow evening

NathanL · 11 Jun 2017 at 11:34

Indeed, I've had a few issues with them in the past!

Just noticed I've ordered it too late! It'll come tomorrow, I'm gutted :'(

Unsure, got rocket league free so I'll probably muck about on that a bit first. Next I'll try bf4 as that's my most intense game I've got I reckon

What's the best way to show fps?

NathanL · 12 Jun 2017 at 13:20

Ah gotcha, cheers I'll take a look tomorrow! Bloody overclockers all the way up in geordie land so it's slowly on its way to dpd depot

Oh blimey you're right, I saw Newcastle in the address first and proceeded to ignore the rest! Even the county, silly me!!!

ps. i am looking forward to your build log if you are doing one

I assure you any build log (not even sure what that is but I can assume) I try to create would be terrible and you'd want to claw your eyes out whilst reading!!

The cold sweats have started up again :eek:

NathanL · 12 Jun 2017 at 16:40

I MAY struggle through that during August

NathanL · 12 Jun 2017 at 16:55

If you want anything entertaining, just put me near anything to do with manual labour or dexterity. Hilarity will follow

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 17:43

Okay, card arrived, drivers uninstalled, here we go

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 17:46

Old card had two power cables going in to it, this only needs one, am I alright to just take one out and leave it? Does it need to be unplugged other end?

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 17:47

Is it alright to leave the redundant one plugged in at the power supply end though?

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 17:53

Okay, bit of a struggle with one of the screws, but it's in!

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 17:56

Struggling to get my dvi cable in the port though, it doesn't seem to want to push in?

NathanL · 13 Jun 2017 at 18:00

Okay so the house is in and my computer has turned on using hdmi cable, tenfans on you don't seem to be spinning yet though, should I worry?
