unbelievable! just my luck! ×(

Recommended Posts

has any one had more bad luck than me. got home from work, decided to check the forum for news and I was blown away when y saw that it was now available. I run to my computer turned it on and as I was opening Internet explorer my freaking pc sprung a leak and looks like It might have fried both my gtx 580 and motherboard. noooooooooooo!!!!!!! now I have to buy new motherboard ($300) and new gtx titan ($1200). looks like I will have to wait until my next check to buy the 777x. im so freaking jealous of you guys.

 

p.s. to those who run watercooled setups check your rigs. looks like my leak was caused by a loose compression fitting.

and I just recently oc my cpu to 4.8 took me weeks tweaking cpu. hopefully after a day or two of letting things dry I will see wat works. even if gtx 580 didnt die I will still get the gtx titan, I belive pmdg recommends at least 770. oh man something else just hit me what about the cpu. ohhh crap. sigh. =(

Couldn't you get the GPU that's just one below the Titan and get the T7 with the same performance. Or is the Titan a good performer even on fsx?

Feel bad for you though. On the bright side you'll have a Titan!

been meaning to upgrade my graphics card for a while but I never thought it was going to be because of this. might go sli on 780s but I might lean towards 2 titans but that will set me back almost a month money wise. my house and car payments go first before anything else. I guess im not missing much I've seen in other post of downloading problems, too much traffic for pmdgs servers and some other problems for some.
