First of all, I'm really sorry not to have posted this soon but I was in no mood for posting one and here, there were frequent blackouts due to thunderstorms.
To make it short, the B'day was awesome. :D I told you guys in my last post that my parents were buying me something SECRET for my B'day. Well, just as I thought, it was none other than the GTX 560 Ti itself :D. I was so happy and not to mention how the day went. Well, the gift was unveiled during morning and I immediately plugged it in, installed the drivers and OCed my CPU to 2.4GHz (Well, it never showed a change in the performance though). Firstly, I ran AC2 and ACB. And Hell, I couldn't believe my eyes that it ran on all MAX! :D. Well, a bit of lag on some places were seen, pretty sure due to the choppy CPU. Next, it was Black Ops. Same, ALL MAX and it was superb. Then, I tried GTA IV and was utterly disappointed.
Firstly,GTA IV was designed for the consoles and I didn't expect much of a gameplay from it. But this was very disappointing since the game was utterly slow even with the graphix set to minimum. After benchmarking, I found a reason but was not pretty sure. It was the CPU I found that was bottlenecking the game. After posting some forums, it was sure that the CPU was the reason.
Well, Dad said they'd buy one after earning some more for that. Aah, leave the GPU part. We went to the beach in the noon. Enjoyed some time in the park and got back in the evening. Well, the best part was the GPU itself. :D Now, I need to get some games for it :?.
Well, the problem is, most of you won't believe it, but here, 90% of the people unknowingly buy pirated games and software. Its true. Even the technicians of the Computer Shop installs pirated OS and software unless they are buying a branded PC. They don't even sell genuine products. :O If you are surveying all the PC shops in Kerala, I'm pretty much sure that 85% of them provides pirated stuff to their customers. Well, I usually get the stuff from Bangalore and other states from my uncles since the originals are available in there. I also tried awaring my school and locality through my site and some small speeches :P. What to say? I'm the president of my School's IT Club :P.
Leave that part too. Well, I'll review more games and I'll try to post something about the performance of the GPU. Not now, its boring! :P The school is also reopening on 6th. So, less GameSpotting :(. But I'll try to get on ;)
Adios!
