is what possible? playing C.M. Dirt? Yes, it must, as the game is bad as hell, and will run on a P4 3GHz... So short answer: YES!

How is it bad ? and why is it bad?

Most racing sim players regard it as that...

Probably because of lack of feel with the road surface, flawed driving model (like a floating car body with super grip tires instead of a decent rallying experience)...

I have GRID on my other computer, (not working still), and I don't think much has changed, although the grip and driving model is marginally better.

If you wait for DiRT 2, you might just not waste your money on original DiRT.

im not gona buy Dirt 2 im going to download

I hope you mean buying through Digital Download through Steam or some other digital retail service.

but Good luck with your 8800's anyway...

[EDIT: That does not in anyway mean I condone any illegal downloading of products. Just be sure to make that clear].

When even a DEMO-user (no offence) says that he hopes that you mean BUY the game online, then something is wrong here.

And NO, i do not think he meant to buy it, i got the impression he meant illegal download, which inturn is illegal to talk about on this forum

but its not about this lfs? :^) and ilegal downloanding. tell me who buys things like that?

1. maybe because CMR dIRT is 8gb it would take ages to downloand.



dunno

Regardless of how apparently bad something is, according to reviews or demographic, when you want to get a game, buying the game by legal terms, as in through a retail/games store (getting a legitimate product anyway), or through buying the game on Steam, Metaboli, etc, should be how you get it.

i buy almost every game i want nowadays, i didint before.
and the thing u said about the size of the game, that doesnt mather unless ur on a modem..

It's good game. It misses realism, but it doesn't misses fun, unlike RBR.

IMO, GRID is too, as I've had it since last year.

Whether you like it or not, GRID is equal to or worse than DiRT, however definitely worse than DiRT 2.

No, GRiD, unlike DiRT, is crap.

*giggles* oh sry..

well... whats the prob? i mean "it only needs 5mm down" doesnt tell me much :S

theres leads and i cant put it in becuase of them and i cant put the lead enywere else

Can you post photo of your motherboard, please? Might be you are trying to put it into wrong port (PCI instead of PCI-Express)

By leads, do you mean leads from your PSU crowding the space above the PCI-E port?

These leads. thats why my geforce will not fit. but if i move them down as shown in picture it will but can i do that? theres a video coming soon i will post it soon

this is the video. sorry for bad english

EDIT: sorry about my breathing my nose is blocked... ;(

Your case is quite small for that card...

Is your motherboard Micro-ATX? or ITX?

If you have another case, possibly larger, try your system in that.

[EDIT: Just wondering, what was your GPU before the 8800?]

it still is in there but i cant take it out its intergrated i think its called that way if i can put those plugs down a bit its ok then but if i cant i need somthing else... but as people say i can im gona do it ok is it hard to fit a new PSU ?

That 8800GT's PCI-E power cable should just fit...

New PSU isn't that hard. Takes me about 2 mins. But make sure it's not bigger or smaller. But looking at your PSU... I think you will need to remove the CPU fan and that tube at least. No idea what PSU it is, looks like a stock one?
