My graphics card is dead (Patreon)
Content
Hello everyone, as you can see, my graphics card has finally died. It was a second-hand 2060 from Nvidia, but in the last month it was acting strangely, I thought it was something with the PC, but no, in the last few weeks I started to notice more failures, until this week when it definitely keeps giving me errors, blue screens and, yesterday when I was doing things for Glowing Growing, it stopped working. This morning I went to see a technician, and it is definitely broken. I bought it second-hand and they warned me that this could be dangerous, because I didn't know exactly how they had treated the graphics card. Even so, it lasted a few years.
Now... well, I'm going to buy another one. I don't want to go for any of the 4000 series because it would be a lot of money that I don't have, let's see if a 3060 would work for me, which I think it will. But this time a new one, and I hope it lasts a long time and I take good care of it.
Until then... I have my boyfriend's laptop, which is not very old and I can barely work on it because it's an old laptop.
Don't worry, nothing of my projects has been lost, because I've made a backup and everything is on a hard drive.
I don't think I'll be able to buy a graphics card until next month (and hopefully) because that would leave me with nothing and no work for the whole month. A wasted month.
I'm not really motivated to ask for this, but if someone wants to donate to help me get a better graphics card I'd appreciate it. Obviously it's not obligatory and you can be offended just by the proposal, because it's a bit selfish.
All in all, and despite the fact that I'm pretty depressed right now, thank you for your support and I hope everything goes well... I hope to at least comment on things these days.
A hug.
