About Me
I love video games (why else would I be here?), and currently I own a DS, Wii, PS2 and a PC. I'm mostly into PC games now, but i did grow up on playing NES, SNES and PS1.

Some of my favorite games:
Final Fantasy VII
MGS 1 and 3
Super Mario 3
Super C
Little Nemo
Link to the Past
Star Fox (SNES)
Metroid II, fusion and Prime 3 (haven't played the other ones really)
Super Dodge ball advance
Guilty Gear series
Anything from Valve
Desert Combat (BF1942 mod)
Oblivion
Quake III
Unreal Tourney
and whole lot more...

More to come as I think of stuff i guess.

Lifetime Warranties are awesome
IceMax | 5:19 PM on 02.11.2008 9 comments


After putting up with my video card artifacting in games unless i ran them on low at 800x600 (in fact, it still would look like this at times)


I finally decided send my video card back to EVGA under their awesome lifetime warranty. After waiting for a week and missing out on FNF TF2 (or at best crying while playing it on my familes crappy computer) I finally get the package with my new video card today. however, Once I opened it, I noticed that I didn't get a 7900GT KO (the card that i had sent in). Instead, they gave me a brand new 8800GTS 320mb card! Talk about awesome. now i can rape face in COd4 and TF2 with the graphics cranked up all the way :).

Wow, they really gave you a nice deal from that, then again they're probably just trying to get rid of their stock of 320MB 8800GTS cards with the G92 cards being better and less expensive to make. Either way, you win!

Thats pretty sweet a friend of mine had a eVGA card and liked the upgrade program they had on those. I think the time frame may have been shortened I was thinking it used to be a year but on the newer cards its 90 days but that kind of warranty support definitely helps make a case to buy eVGA cards.

Those games are exactly what i was thinking on firing up to take it for a spin. Also, this card is MASSIVE, and I had to take out the heatsink I had on my northbridge chipset and put the stock one back in :(. other than that its great not having artifacts and massive tearing issues.
