What resolution and what settings are you planning to use?

I always run my games with the lowest possible settings, mainly because I prioritize performance over appearance. And yet even with this, GTA IV and AC2 still have massive amounts of lag that ruin the game for me. AC2 doing this was easier for me to handle because it was a gift, but I spent good money on GTA4 and I refuse to have it be wasted. It really depresses me that I probably need a high-end graphics card to run most modern games nowadays, especially because I'm certain that it'll cost a good amount more than $50. I'm probably a naive idiot for even considering the possibility of such a bargain.

I didn't really understand why I died until I discovered I was teleporting my own spine into my enemies' body as a primary way of attack.

50 bucks is bascially just buying a hdmi card now and its not worth it for gaming, save that cash and double it and grab yourself either a HD7750 or a GTX550 TI

Well shit. Oh well, my dad will hopefully be getting me a graphics card for Christmas if I'm lucky. Thanks anyway. :3

So currently, Firefox is unable to connect to a majority of websites. When I attempt to connect to a website, Google for an example, it will load for a few seconds and act as if I'm not connected to the internet. I figured that it was an issue with firefox, so I started up Internet Explorer to google a solution to this problem. The thing is, Internet Explorer couldn't connect either and told me it was a problem with connecting to the DNS server. For the hell of it, I tried clearing my cache in Firefox. It worked for about a minute before not being able to connect to a website again. After that, I checked to see if something switched the settings for firefox to use a proxy (Since I've had a virus which did this, it would tell you your computer was infected and the internet wouldn't work until you payed them to get rid of it.), nothing wrong with that and firefox wasn't set to use a proxy. I honestly have no idea what to do, and I can't really google anything since the only website I can seem to go on is Bay12.

Well, you do have a busy life, what with keeping tabs on wild, rough-and-tumble forum members while sorting out the drama between your twenty two inner lesbians.

Are you at a college that would have a filter prone to breaking things?

Or, are you using your ISP's DNS or an alternate like Google DNS? It could be a ISP problem, not on your end.

Not at a college, but the problems stopped a bit ago. Must of been an ISP problem, which is odd because even though I have comcast (Which is the shittiest ISP ever.) I never have any DNS problems.

I'm thinking about buying a graphics card with the $50 I just got but I doubt I can finally run Assassin's Creed II and Grand Theft Auto IV without dishing out a good amount more than $50. Is it possible?
Do you know which one you're interested in?  It's not just the resolution that changes how well the game runs, it's the amount of VRAM (Video Memory) the Graphics card has, the clock speed, it's compatibility with DirectX etc.  If you could post a link then it would be easier to say :)

Just because you never have the problem doesn't mean they aren't havening it. ;)

Question. I downloaded Steam and spent 35 bucks on games during the sale. Not thinking much of it, I happily went to test out Terraria... who refused to open. Tracking the error down to the singular file, it looks like I need to update my .NET framework... which I've done... repeatedly... to no avail.

GIANT STRING OF EXPLETIVES.


So now what do? The microsoft .net fixer has done nothing. I need solutions, real solutions, that can actually get this fucking update working.

You have both .NET 3 and .NET 4, correct? (and 3.5, and the other ones in the middle)

I am led to believe so by every other attempt I've ever made at this including the one I'm making now.
