Ouch, dude, you should upgrade asap.

I went a good almost two years without my PC working at all (was a Mac user and had just gotten the 360) but I know I have had...

ATi 9 something

Nvidia 5 something

Nvidia 5900 Ultra

Nvidia GTX 285

Honestly that 5900 ultra is what got me though most of my gaming and the one I used the longest. That really lasted me a decent amount of time, in fact my brother in law still has it.

My first ever card was XFX 6600 GT. Bought in november 2005 but died early due to overclocking.

Then i bought XFX 8600 GT in august 2007. It recently died due to age maybe. Most of the capacitors on the card blew up.

Now I am using XFX 9600GT. Its working fine so far. :p

You could easily RMA all of those because XFX has lifetime warranty.

You could easily RMA all of those because XFX has lifetime warranty.

But you have to have registered them within 30 days and they can't fail due to physical damage - e.g. if you blow a cap or burn the chip out whilst overclocking.

The word 'Lifetime warranty' has obviously not been understood here. It's the lifetime of the product on the market.

So once it's discontinued, so is your warranty. Though in some cases they may attach a few years warranty after the product leaves the market, but it'll be in the documentation.

ATI AIW 9700 PRO - died, replaced with below

ATI Radeon 9800 PRO - gave computer away

Sapphire ATI radeon x1900 - died, replaced with below

nvidia geforce 6800 - replaced with below

nvidia geforce 9800GTX+OC - in use today

Only 3

An ancient (even at the time I got it) 64MB Radeon 7500

A 256MB Geforce 6600 to replace a crap oem Radeon X300

And finally the one I'm using now a 512MB Sapphire Radeon HD 4850

    • Hello, Were you using a product or service from one of the companies affected by the Klue data breach?  See https://klue.com/blog/an-update-on-recent-klue-security-incident for the company's public statement.  That blog post does not list affected customer. From looking around at reports, I created this list: Gong HackerOne Huntress Insurity Jamf LastPass OneTrust Recorded Future ReliaQuest Salesforce Snyk Sprout Social Tanium It is likely there are other companies affected as well.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
