Upgrading GTS 240, around £90 Budget

[casualbuilder]

btw...i wasn't that far off

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130653

it was the 460 that comes with dual core processors...

if you got a money burning a hole in your pocket and you MUST have some kind of upgrade,, a 550 is your only option without the PSU,, but IMO I would not.

I dont know alot about GPU's but whats an 'IMO'?

 

[casualbuilder]

in my opinion

or maybe i made a mistake...dont be rude. its a forum, and not everyone is an "expert". I'm not a total newb when it comes to this stuff, but with 100's of products out there, im sorry i made a mistake. ill try to be perfect next time!

geez yeah sorry bro no need to get bent outta shape, just setting you straight and poking a bit of fun, thats all, I hope you continue to learn and express yourself, isnt that the whole point of these forums anyways? Sorry if I offended but your question what quite noobish, anyways moving on....

thanks bro...

Ha Malmental. Maybe you explained before in this very long thread but how is it possible that 550ti is recommended with a minimum 450W psu and you say 350 is enough ? Even though the dell is maybe 425 it's still not enough, is it, or is it just me being noob ?

 

[techno20]

Thanks Bro!

 

[jjb8675309]

he's not being rude, that's his sense of humor...
I've known him via forum for sometime now.

thanks and likewise to you, malmental is not here to bash people but rather help; in my talking with him a bunch in the past I can say that he is a good dude!

[techno20]

now that i know it wasn't personal, yeah. no prob. ive only been on here about 2 weeks, and i think ive settled into a little bit of "information overload". I've done a lot of personal research over the years, but this forum has stretched me to really delve into a lot of other possibilities. now that i know your sense of humor, i won't be so "soft".

yeah, i have never seen the dual 460 outside of newegg, and wasn't sure on it myself, but it would seem interesting to run "2" of them, for a budget quad SLI. not sure what the micro-stuttering would look like, but maybe be interesting.

My dearest and utterly lovely Mal 😍 , don't wanne rush or push you but can you please answer my previous remark about the 550 and the 350W, because on the other thread from Techno i and others advice strongly against it, so if you'r really sure it will run on his psu please explain, i'm puzzeld.

good-luck and see you in the gaming world..

[techno20]

ok I dont know how to choose Best answer so I Declare that this Thread is KAPUT! FINISHED!

ANY ADVISE ON HOW TO CHOOSE BEST ANSWER... PLEASE LET ME KNOW....

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

answered above..
look up.. 😀

EDIT:
no problem I have set the record straight many of times..
I remember someone saying you needed a minimum of 1000-watts to run a SLI GTS 450.....!
I almost lost my mind.
but mostly it started over a Dell thread and a HD 5670 with 300-watt Dell supply.
everyone even Dell support said it wouldn't work but malmental...
needless to say I got best answer and the guy still PM's me for assistance.

It's a shame i don't know the English word for "grootheidswaanzin" :lol:

 

[techno20]

there is no button to select best answer...

This was started as a discussion thread not a question thread so there is no best answer option but as the OP wants it closed I can and will oblige.
