Free GPU Giveaway
Hi guys, it has become that time of the year for me to upgrade - and I am giving away my current GPU.
What's the catch ? - I am just waiting for my new card to be delivered, which should be in this week still.
So if you know of anyone who needs a slight upgrade post here !
I am in no way affiliated to PCFormat - so don't call them for the gift either

My brother is running a 7600GT and he's reached the point where he needs to upgrade.

Re: Free GPU Giveaway
I have a wife and three children who have to play snakes and ladders by candlelight every night. You will be restoring their dignity by letting them have this gpu. //on a more serious note, I have a cousin who's xbox was stolen last week. He has a pc but no gpu. He would be overjoyed.

I should've mentioned it's my brother's b-day tomorrow.
Although, the Departed's cousin is a good candidate...

I'm only competing with you because with a 7600GT, your brother doesn't sound like a very hardcore gamer. Otherwise, my cousin will survive, he has some cash saved up he was actually saving up so he could go to college, but I guess that dream is dead now. He has also started listening to rap music.

Re: Free GPU Giveaway
Admittedly, he's not 'hardcore' per say, but with all his money going towards trying to feed himself at university (he stays on-campus), he hasn't got any money to spare on luxuries like GFX cards (I mean, he still has a CRT for crying out loud )

Can we have a fight to the death? I'll sell tickets. Golden circle is R300. Anthro gets half the profit.

Re: Free GPU Giveaway
But the competitors should buff up before the match, I don't wanna see the fight end in 1 round.

Re: Free GPU Giveaway
My sister has to play Sims 3 with onboard graphics which is really frustrating for her, the sims walk very slowly and it takes hours to build a home. Yesterday was her birthday she is 14. If you donate the card to her I will install it using medical anti static gloves and proper equipment to earth everything during installation to ensure that premium care is taken of the card.

Re: Free GPU Giveaway
He's playing StarCraft 2 on minimum graphics, and he becomes all depressed every time he sees how pretty the game is on my PC.
a 9500GT will allow at least some of the shinies turned on.

Re: Free GPU Giveaway
I was in Zimbabwe recently, and the kids at the one school have a Cloud-based computing system, where all of the video for the 5 computers is rendered by a Riva TNT2 with 32MB of RAM. They have a new motherboard and so forth, but no Video card.
A donation to them would mean the ability to view Windows XP with Icon shadows and Solitaire in full, 32-bit colour glory.

LOL, by hardcore I don't mean "wants latest gpu", I mean "plays many games".Stuart wrote:And someone who has a 9500GT is?D3PART3D wrote: I'm only competing with you because with a 7600GT, your brother doesn't sound like a very hardcore gamer.

Lulz, Anthro has some decisions to make now. It's popularity vs. integrity.

Re: Free GPU Giveaway
Digging our grave, are we Anthro?
I'd go with integrity
Then again, why post something when the card was already promised to someone else?

Re: Free GPU Giveaway
Question: does the card have an HDMI port? Looking to build a media centre machine, and this card may just do the job if it has such port on it. (The photo indicates that it does, but I can't tell for sure.)
Then again, I don't mind someone more deserving (EDIT: or someone who got in line first) getting it.
