You have no idea how hard it is to find a high school that doesn't go full retard when setting up a lab array (The lab computers back in the high school I went to ran on openSUSE so I was pretty lucky). I've yet to see a school that doesn't use on-board graphics.

My IT teacher doesn't use on-board graphics, and he operates one of the computer labs. I'm not sure about the other two though.

Pretty fucking sweet right? I was actually planning on getting it instead of the GTX 770, but in order for it not to melt my computer I would have to buy the one that doesn't have the shitty fans, but instead liquid cooling, which is a hundred bucks extra.

Oh man. 4GB DDR5, that's like...Oh man.

I have a old-but-thrustworthy MSI Geforce 240GT 1GB DDR5, it does good in most games but in more demanding ones i tend to have to overclock it. (Skyrim)

I feel it's gonna go bad soon though, been having some display glitches every now and then, maybe once a month or 3 weeks. They completely stopped now though.
