Why does my monitor refuse to display in digital?

Well, are you connecting your monitor to the gfx card with a VGA or DVI cable?

Please help! 3 Way SLI Not working!!

I would uninstall your gfx drivers and reinstall them with all 3 cards installed. Sounds like you do not have a driver installed for your third gfx card.

So... do all these people buying these super-high-end cards really have 30" monitors?

Those of you who say you play on a 37' or 42' HD set are most likely playing on a screen with less resolution than a 20" widescreen computer monitor. Most likely playing at 1280x720...

Nvidias new PhysX drivers

I dont get these comments. Why is it bad for one company to do this? Vantage has a physics tests, you can either do it on the CPU or you can do it on the GPU if your card supports it. All it really shows is that physics on an NV GPU is faster than doing it on a CPU. Its a feature one card has...

Ok...so what does official mean to you? And why is it not OK for nvidia to release "beta" drivers to fix things or add compatability for new hardware but OK for ATI to release hotfixes? Remember, there was an 8.2 hotfix driver, and an 8.3 hotfix...oh and I also believe there was an 8.1...

G92 SLI limbo

Get more educated on SLI first. When are people going to stop using 3DMark as a GPU bmark? It means nothing. The default res is 12x10...totally CPU bound with the 8800GTS so two gfx cards will do nothing at 12x10. Bump the res up to say 19x12 and turn on some AA and you'll see the benefit...

HD gaming for the pc, how condescending can they get?

I don't think they mean HD modes as it refers to HDTV modes. Believe they mean HD gaming in that you can play in higher res modes now, say 1920x1200 and 2560x1600. HD gaming does not necasarily mean HDTV resolutions.

SLI issue with a 2 PNY 8600GT 512MB OC

What driver are you using? Also a way to find out if its related to SLI is to check if this happens with SLI turned off. Also make sure your bridge is connected properly. Anyway I suggest trying a newer driver, such as 169.25

Is there any way to get AA working in Bioshock?

You dont need nhancer to do this. The latest 163.44 driver has this already for Bioshock. If you are running on XP or on Vista without a DX10 card, you dont need the -dx9 option. Think you can turn DX10 off in the game anyway. Either way, forcing AA from the control panel only works on DX9...
