Cheap parents!

Your really lucky to even have a PC, just get a job, work and make your OWN money, life isn't all about video games you know.

The fact that your parents are willing to pay 30 bucks is nice enough, just save up the rest. Or, if you really are that impatient, see if you can do some kind of loan-type thing, where they give you 80 dollars to buy the card, and you pay them back 90. They you get your card, your parents get another 10 dollars, and you learn a lesson about managing money.

lol, I just have a shitty integrated graphics card.

idem.

Well, in my PC I do have a graphiccard.
A gforce6200.
So probably a "30$ card".

And I'm happy with it.

Currently, I am working and saving money for a new computer btw, cause my mom isn't going to give any money for a new computer lol.

Wow, that bolded quote is enough for me. The LEAST they could do is keep you in their house, and love you, shelter you, and take care of you. You're a dumbass saying "save up $5 every now and then." Have you EVER had to deal with finances? $5 here and there could keep gas in the car, food on the table, etc. A stupid video card is the LEAST of their worries, unless you're a spoiled rich kid.

As far as everyone being an idiot and saying the exact same thing, look at my first post, I wasn't saying everything everyone else is. But I will leave saying this: You are an idiot. Go live a real life, and THEN see how important a vid card is. Grow up, stop worrying about a fucking VIDEO CARD. THERE ARE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS IN THE WORLD!

I shouldn't be letting this piss me off as much as it is, wow...

Well you can get an ATI 4350 or 3450 HD series card which is equivalent to a ATI 2400 HD XT card and I played CoD4 on that. Only at 800x600 at lowish-medium settings(Don't exactly know the settings I used before). Fine enough. Otherwise, you don't really have any other option then to play without one, which is much worse than having one.

BTW, They also have a bunch of rebates on newegg for those two cards.

Hahah, funny thing is your computer turns into gaming machine again with your parents' hard working money.

Yeah, ignore my idiotic comment already. If I were your parents I will kick... nvm.

Well, just wanted to wonder, how many of you thought i was angry when i made this topic? Because really, i love my parents. their great, hell the other day i made pizza and bagels with my dad. (home made) Well, my mom and dad decided on a 40 somethin dollar video card which looks really good. so im happy, you all can call me things, but right now, im happy. . .


And i also have to do an entire math packet. . .

Same here.
I have been considering getting a proper graphics card though.

[quote name='Balrogs.Pain' post='2033465' date='Jun 6 2009, 09:09 PM']Well, my video card broke, and i cant play ANY GAME. which sucks, i can only play flash games, which suck. . .
So im searching for a good video card and find one, about 80 bucks and can run games like cod4 at medium quality, pretty good catch right? Wrong, my parents said "look for one around 30" and my dad says "Let me try and fix your computer"
im betting they would say the same thing even though i find a 50 buck one
My current video card is outdated and sucks. . . whyy!![/quote]

You should have started higher, negotiating down to the one you wanted.

instead of complaining that you cant play "any game", try looking for older (but still good!!) games that dont need dedicated top of the range hardware.

Quake trilogy
halflife1/counterstrike 1.6
starcraft

plus, there is many more, nothing a quick look on google wont help..

So your parents are cheap because they wont cater to you? Get a job, kid.

your parents have bills to pay and such, im sure that a video card can wait.

have not read the whole topic, too tired to do that.

easiest way to get them around, bullshit them by telling them you need a good graphics card to run 3D graphic design programs or something similar for school.

most parents are far more liberal with money as soon as you mention it will help you with school.
