Thanks for the help, I got everything up and running. Had to upgrade to Windows 10. Reinstalled the mobo drivers and the Nvidia drivers and I could boot up my games. Something was fukked up with Direct X before the upgrade.

good to hear.
there is nothing worse than having a fukked up rig...my stomach starts getting all knotted up.

Bought a new videocard and when I went to take the old one out the pci-e connector thing came off and bent the pins so now I need a new motherboard which means a new cpu and ram since the parts are so old :bryan:

tried out Vulkan (new API) tonight in The Talos Principle

ran the benchmark for 60 sec:

dx11: average 117fps
Vulkan: average 77fps :stopitslime:

ran it again, and got a driver crash :francis:

it's a start I guess :yeshrug:

Are you guys on Windows 10? I'm thinking about taking this free upgrade that keeps popping up on my screen (I have windows 7 at the moment). Is it worth it?
