i have a gtx 260 n a 17" crt monitor.i play games at 1280 x 1024 resolution,the highest my monitor supports.so it's obvious that my pc doesnt use even 20% of the gtx 260's full power.so my ques is,can i underclock my gpu so that it consumes less power???.........i'm not a tech guy so i don even kno if there is such a thing as underclocking...so pls spare me on that one if there isnt 😀
 

haha lol i actually bought dis gtx 260 2nd hand...d guy was going abroad n selling all his pc parts.d deal was too good to resist.d gpu was only 4 mnths used with 8 mnths warrranty left n i got it at only half d normal price 😛
 

well i live in bangladesh.price is like skyhigh here for pc parts.a new gtx 260 is 22,500 tk/usd 375 (60tk=1 us$).i bought it for 13000 tk/usd 216.guess that's not bad is it.especially considering the fact that i plan to upgrade to atleast a 22" lcd monitor by dis year.then d gpu will come in handy.n thnx for d info :)
 
What a small world! I was born in Bangladash. Lived in Dhaka for a few year then moved to the states. Ya you got a pretty good deal. I know how parts there extremely expensive, but the pirated software sell cheap compared to here haha.
=]
 

i live in dhaka 😀 my windows xp cost me 40 tk (75 cents) n i buy 2 dvd games for around $2.guess that makes up for all the expensive parts i guess 😀😀
 

ya but it's not like we don buy original stuffs.it's just that original softwares r not available here.everything is pirated,n we're happy with it.BANGLADESH RULEZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!😛
only bd parts r expensive here.things like books n clothes r cheap as hell,n they r not pirated 😛 u live in US????maybe u'r wearing a MADE IN BD shirt right now 😛
