I won't hurry to the shop to throw away money for a new graphics card without first studying my options and eventually building a better rig.

Whatever you decide to do, I'd STRONGLY advice NVIDIA card(s). I'm on ATI's for the first time and boy I'm disappointed with these.

(crossfire problems, bad fps, etc etc etc)

I've an ATI card with 3 monitors (5040x1050), and I haven't problems. I don't think nvidia is better than ati and vice versa. Nvidia was known to be more reactive with the drivers for the new games, but this is less true now.
I don't speak about crossfire, I haven't.

After lots of unscrewing, screwing and testing as well as searching info on the net, it's definitely the Graphics card that has given up I would solve it buying a new one, but the problem is that my PC is already a bit old and with PCI express v1, so i'm not sure if current PCI3 cards will work on it.

Regarding the nvidia vs. ati, the one that has just died was an Nvidia and I think many people here remember the troubles fo freeze and reboot I have had in the past with it. It destroyed my last year's HGT series Most online reputable sources recommenda ATI now for the bang for buck, but I'm undecided. If I have to build a new systme I'll probably go with NVidia, but if I find an old card that still fits my current one I won't mind if it has to be an ATI.

Thxs for the hints in any case, much appreciated

Damn, dont make it to the quali. Well, that means i ll be back next Time. See you there.

We haven't had 26 qualified cars yet Mario, why so pessimistic?

I believe I had read that PCIe is backward/forward compatible with all versions. Maybe the only issue is that your pcie v1 will be a bottleneck for the graphic card in pcie v3.

Great, messed up my last try and now I have to start behind Martin's roadblock

Ah, gonna take him at the start anyway

But looking at how I was 6 tenths up too...

9th to 15th, insanely close! Hope for a fun race tomorrow in my Lotus debut.

he is the fastest driver here so roadblock ..... only your opinion mate

Looks like there will be a place for me in the end

beau boulot Gui a 20 h j ai reussi deux 18.6 et un 18.547 sur le serveur mais bon les faire a 20h ne sert a rien

il est vraiment tres technique ce circuit , tres difficile de regrouper 3 bons secteurs en meme temps .


maintenant faudra tenir 72 tours et ca ce sera une autre histoire


edit : teh ma 2 eme photo en signature est revenue toute seule

8/10 betwin 5-15 th place pretty tight to bad i´m at the end of it

Martin's roadblock

I have seen people call Martin many things ... but a roadblock ...

You know, when I grow up I would like to be as quick as Martin when he is 93 years old and stuck in a car with only reverse gear, if you what I mean

Congratulations on the pole on home turf Gui.

Set much better time just some 15 minutes before qually, so bit disappointed to my result atm. I was some 3 tenths down in my 2nd attempt but touched a kerb and lost it in S3.

Looking at the times I except tight racing tomorrow around the 10th position!

Nevermind guys, he needs to complain about his performances on every single post. Even when he's trounced by a guy in the same car, the car is too slow.
Maybe someday he'll eventually realize that he's not as quick as he is in his dreams.

It's nice we get along so well as teammatesxD

I was just a bit decepted with my last try... I was easily on for a 1:19 time(which would mean ahead of Yves, Alessio and Martin) when it fell apart in S2

Shesh guys, don't jump on me.

It's just me thinking that IF I have to slot in behind Martin's Larrousse, I could be swallowed by the guys behind on the spot. After all, Alberto(if he starts) and Mike have more power than me.

roadblock was probably a bad idea to label the situation. Sorry Martin, but as I said on the server, gotta pass you at the start

2 places left. So people that couldn't qualify can join the race server tomorrow and battle for those 2 places on the grid. The drivers with the 2 fastest warm-up times will be allowed to start in 25th and 26th position

@JP: And why are you not racing(except Monaco)? Come and battle with me

There are 3 and even maybe 4 places available for tomorrow, Jon has a time but won't race, not sure about Alberto as well.

Do I need to justify to you every of my car choices or why I'm racing a championship and not an other ? Geez...

j'espere que j interprete ( comprends ) mal cette reflexion David , et que tu ne sous entends pas par la que ma colaboration en tant qu 'équipier n est pas sympa a ton égard , car depuis le début de saison je te rappelle quand meme que je te fournis l intégralité de mes sets ( je ne vois pas ce que je peux faire de plus ) . Mais bon j interprete surement mal cette phrase en anglais du moins je l'espere ...

I'll be there for warmup!

pfiou 11 pilotes en 1'20'.... pire qu'en vrai
pour ma part je suis satisfait de mon 1'21'7 mème si je suis à + d'1sec de mon record
ça fait quand meme plaisir de n'etre que à 3 sec de la pole
mon but voir le drapeau à dammier mais j'avoue que j'ai quand mème peur du depart au sein de la meutte....

Gui, J'aimerais bien assister à la course en spectateur, est-ce possible ?

Pourquoi tu roules pas plutôt ?
