Such a powerful card for its price range. I can run TF2 with everything full (aa, fsaa, motion blur) at 1680 and have a steady 40 - 50 fps

Its amazing how good such a cheap card can be.]]>Jul 29th 2008 11:48AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/

From them a long time ago. I made a topic on neowin about the gfx card as I couldn't find a price comparison to see what its real worth was, and was total it wasn't out yet.

I don't usually buy pre-made PC's, but they do some really powerful yet cheap computers. Blu-ray, 500GB, Good graphics, Quad core with a stylish LG cash for £500? Can't go wrong.]]>Jul 29th 2008 1:25PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/
In the USA, ALDI is a low-end sketchy grocery store chain. No wonder you experienced a "cock up" buying a PC at the grocery store.

lol, they dont even have shelves in their store.

At least in the US, ALDI's is where you go to get the very lowest prices on groceries. They save money by making their stores not accept credit cards, having wood paneling as walls, really low lighting, not bagging your stuff for you, making you buy your own bags, just putting the stuff out in the aisle that they shipped in, and you have to put a quarter in to get a cart.

Why in the world would you buy a computer from there?

1) why would you buy a computer from ANY grocery store?
2) why would you buy it from the cheapest grocery store?]]>Jul 29th 2008 7:51PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/]]>Jul 29th 2008 8:38PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/
The philosophy behind discounters is, for every brand product on the "shelf" there should be 3+ other no brand competitive products. They save money for no shelves, no storage (what you see is what they have on stock), and changing products from day to day, what they have in stock today, may not be available anytime soon.

I don't know how the product quality is in USA in those discounters, but here in Europe you can find some really nice products so cheap that you can't even imagine (speaking of food). Of course I wouldn't buy any hardware there, but I guess it's nothing wrong, they buy up some stock from Medion and sell it, it isn't anything of lower quality, it's just that they buy in masses and can afford to sell it cheap for that few days they have it in stock in all their stores.
And of course there's also tons of crap products, like everywhere.

All in all, I think it's fine that those stores exist, you really can save a lot on money for good or better quality food as you buy in a normal store for shit loads of money. ]]>Jul 29th 2008 10:40PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/The 64MB card ran Doom 3 and Far Cry without flinching!

I have 3 VGA monitors on my work computer and it is currently running off of a PCI-E video card and a PCI video card (and it doesnt work all that great).

The computer I'm using only has 1 PCI-E slot so I'm very limited to what i can use. Would love to be able to run all 3 monitors off of 1 video card (and maybe add a 4th).]]>Jul 29th 2008 1:05PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/Jul 29th 2008 1:06PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/http://www.engadget.com/2008/07/29/nvidias-sub-100-geforce-9500-gt-gets-introduced-and-reviewed/
