My game pc never has viruses either and i don't even have a virus scanner on it (i installed one last week and scanned and uninstalled again just to make sure). If you use the machine for nothing other then gaming you should not be worried about viruses as long as you don't torrent/visit dubious sites or insert USB sticks in it.

Hobo you're banned from talking about computers and viruses due to your ignorance, and only ignorant people get viruses that disable their computer. Which by the way only computer literates can deal with.

by **Furgus** 10/8/2010, 14:58

lol vital. And I've built a computer before and it's running perfectly. I gave to my sister. And she does torrenting and some other crap. And it doesn't go slower. It has no viruses. And all I have is the cheapest version of Norton.

by **Young Greezy** 10/8/2010, 15:06

Cheapest /=/ free

Avast! = free and better than norton.

Yes you must always be weary about where you insert your stick. You never know what viruses you may bring back with you. I've seen some nasty ones create all kinds of ~~rashes~~ issues you have trouble getting rid of.

I'd go with the NVidia 9800GTX+ Me and a few of my friends have it and you can have the highest possible settings in l4d2 and it will run smoothly and look amazing

Source engine game, source games are more demanding on the CPU than GPU (and they're not very demanding altogether anyways).

9800 GTX will still run everything well but it doesn't have quite as long a lifespan left as some newer cards.

Yeah I have nvdia on my laptop and it sucks.

That is not a way to judge a graphics company. Nvidia produces higher price, higher output cards. Your graphics on your laptop might be integrated.

by **Furgus** 11/8/2010, 20:21

No I know Nvidia is good overall, with the computer itself. But when it comes to Tf2 it's not as good. Maybe it's just the game itself. I'm not sure. But what I'm sure is about putting a good graphics card on the new pc. In order to have a better gameplay.

by **LOOK IT'S ADAM!!!** 11/8/2010, 23:33

like mentioned above, the source engine relies almost completely on CPU, not GPU. so your processor might be the issue here.

That's not because it is nvidia but because you were too cheap to pay for a laptop with a better video card. Get your facts straight!
/defending nvidia although I should had gone for the ATI version of my laptop series; better card was better because ATI is cheaper in overall.

by **Furgus** 12/8/2010, 17:20

Is ATI another brand of graphics card.

There are two brands of video cards (that matter). There's Nvidia, and ATI. Nvidia makes more expensive, sometimes better cards.

Fun Fact: My brother just got a job with the former head of ATI Canada.

by **Nick** 12/8/2010, 18:44

I have an ATI graphics card and it blows, just saying

by **Google** 12/8/2010, 18:46

"Former", that makes him loose his specialness.

by **Eraserhead** 13/8/2010, 11:53

ATI en Nvidia are actually chipsets not videocards.

by **Young Greezy** 13/8/2010, 12:55

Yes my mistake, brands are more like XFX, Sapphire, Powercolour, etc.

by **Nick** 13/8/2010, 14:22

I have an ati sapphire radeon it blows

by **Young Greezy** 13/8/2010, 14:24

I have an ATI Sapphire 5770, it destroys everything (including crysis) and with vapor-x, it comes overclocked out of the box.
