NVIDIA 80.40 Beta Forceware Driver (new hardware)

An interesting effect of these drivers is that the Step into Liquid 1080p HD WMV video now plays twice as long (about 4 secs into the FMW) before choking. I've tried playing that video with every driver release of the last year just to see if nvidia was able to fix PureVideo for the 6800GT with...

Battlefield 2 Memory Usage *Results Updated*

I am using maximum settings (1600x1200, everything High, 4x AA) and 1.5GB is quite playable, a whole lot moreso than 1GB was. My point is that suggesting that 2GB is necessary for maximum settings is a little misleading, since 1.5GB seems to be just fine. I understand that 2GB is the best number...

Gaming with Dual Monitors

Ah, thanks for the heads up. I was running Fraps, but wasn't really paying attention to it. Thanks. That explains why I got no performance hit in RCT3. 6800GT, same as you.

Gaming with Dual Monitors

EDIT: Thanks to cbehnken for pointing out Doom 3's timedemo problem with dual monitors. That pretty much throws most of the following post in the trash. Wow. Thanks, PerfeK. I've always noticed that Windows apps that I displayed on the 2nd monitor were much, much more sluggish (WMP...

All video played since reformat is totally washed out

kaizersose, that's the new 77.72 drivers that are causing that. It did that for me upon installation, too (and I have a supported 6800GT, so it's not that). The fix, I found, is to access the Color Correction screen in your display properties, select "Overlay" in the drop-down box beneath "Apply...

Battlefield 2 Memory Usage *Results Updated*

FYI, I threw an extra 512MB stick into my system for a total of 1.5GB and the difference (with 1600x1200, maximum settings) was huge. Even a 256MB stick might've been enough. So, if you aren't using dual-channel memory and have an extra stick laying around, regardless of the size, throw it in. I...

Gainward GeForce 4 4400 problem

Same thing happened to me... just today. I get video corruption in everything (BIOS, POST, Windows...). My PNY Ti4400 worked fine for two weeks... until I upgraded to a Biostar M7VIF motherboard. The motherboard turned out to be bad, since my idle CPU temp was consistently 53C (whereas same CPU...

Best Cheap HSF...Noise Doesn't Matter....

PlatinumGold, is there a specific brand of 80mm fan that I should buy (ie. one with the right clips)? Do you know of any places online that sell it? I bought a WBK38 a few days ago and am a little annoyed with the noise level, so I'm interested in following your suggestion. Thanks.
