    GTX 570 SLI weird lockup/freezing issue . . .

    So I've had my system for quite a few months now (spec in sig) and I've had very few issues with it but recently I've encountered situations where when running in SLI mode, certain games would cause my first GPU to spike to 99% usage (while the second GPU shows 0%) and then freeze the game as...

    Dual Screen Issue with Dell U2711...

    Hi, I recently replaced my aging Samsung T240HD with a Dell U2711 27" monitor and am pairing it with an existing LG L246WP 24" monitor (system in in the sig). Whenever I attempt to use extended desktop with the two monitors, DWM (Desktop Windows Manager) would crash and I am no longer able to...

    Upgrading Rig: 8800GTS SLi or single 9800GX2?

    I would get a 9800GX2 over two 8800GTSs in SLI. While SLI has gotten much better in terms of driver support, it's always better to get a setup that doesn't rely on SLI for it's performance as opposed to one that does. A factory clocked 9800GX2 may be slightly outperformed by a stock 8800GTS SLI...

    DVD-RW drive causes stuttering . . . NVM

    SO recently my Samsung SH-S203 DVD-RW drive (SATA150) has been causing my mouse cursor and the rest of the OS to stutter when I open certain windows such as "My Computer" or if I right click on the properties of that drive. I have had something like this happen before so I went and disabled the...

    How do I take advantage of Purevideo 2 in 8800gt?

    You'll need to have Cyberlink PowerDVD Ultra or a similar product installed which supports PureVideo2. If you have PowerDVD installed you can use its DirectShow MPEG-4 AVC decoder to see if you can offload processing of AVC files to the GPU. However, I'm not sure if the DirectShow filter...

    You can buy a GT at Fry's... it is right next to GTS

    The 8800GT listings were recently removed. I was on Fry's website yesterday and 8800GTs were available for preorder for $229. This of course brings up questions of why exactly they pulled the listings from their site . . .

    Will an aftermarket cooler be a good idea for an 8800GT?

    Well he may not necessarily want an aftermarket cooler just for overclocking. Maybe he wants to know if the card is loud with the default cooler or not. It could be a heat/noise consideration as well as an overclocking consideration.

    *** Official Gigabyte P965-DS3 Thread ***

    I've had my motherboard and CPU overclocked at 400x8 (3.2 GHz) stable for a year now, but suddenly just today I am having issues with the board using any sort of manual FSB value. Even at the default 266 Mhz, posting gives me issues. Now it doesn't fail to post but what it does is hang on the...

    Is there any way to get AA working in Bioshock?

    ?? This is the first time that Irrational (now of course a part of 2K) has made a game for both consoles and PCs. Before that, they were exclusively PC developers.

    They are the same. The only difference is the position of the OSD and power buttons.

    LG vs. Dell LCDs

    Decided to get the L246WP from Best Buy. Got it locally so that I can return within 30 days if it's not to my liking (or exchange it if anything comes up). So far it's looking pretty good, though I still need to get it calibrated. Played Bioshock on the 360 connected to the VGA port at 1080p and...

    LG vs. Dell LCDs

    Well some people will want to use this monitor to hook up to their PS3 and PC at the same time so the second HDMI connection (or one DVI and one HDMI connection) would help with that. But since you can just by a switcher for $20 or so, it's not that big of a deal even if it's applicable to the...

    LG vs. Dell LCDs

    So I'm finally upgrading to a 24" from my Viewsonic VX2025 (which I'm selling) for several reasons (including playing HD-DVDs on my PC) and I've decided to get either the LG L245W (or L246W if I buy offline) or the Dell 2407WFP-HC. After reading the LCD thread, and several other sites, I...

    Is it worth it to trade in my 8800gts + $200 for a 8800gtx?

    At this point you might as well keep the card until the new cards come out, sell for a decent return, and use that + the $200 (+ maybe a little more cash) and get the G90.

    Nope, step up is available for OC cards as well.

    640MB vs 320MB 8800GTS; big difference?

    Try Rivatuner. I've noticed that a lot of more recent games, like Company of Heroes, use far more than 320MB of vRAM on high settings and AA levels (at least from readings in Rivatuner). In fact games like Company of Heroes sometimes exceed 512MB of vRAM. And that's running at 1680x1050 with...

    Antec 180 Fans

    It's possible that you're not getting enough power. Try connecting each fan separately to see if they still run though since I've found that the fans that come with the P180 can sometimes be faulty (which is why I replaced mine with different fans when I still had my P180)

    nvlddmkm stopped responding ?

    Yeah this is very likely a driver problem. Sometimes the latest drivers may not be the best either. I kept getting this same STOP error when I loaded up Halo 2 on Vista with the 158.45 beta drivers (the newest ones out) but when I installed the 160.04 drivers (second-newest ones out), things...

    Gigabyte 965P DS3 rev 1.0 fastest memory i can use ?

    I'm using Corsair. It's DDR2-800 but it's overclocked slightly. Corsair memory seems to be a good choice for the DS3.

    Blu-Ray vs. HD-DVD

    At this point, Blu-Ray as lease seems to be more well known in the media, mainly because Sony not only makes the format but also makes movies also. And despite the problems with the PS3, it is succeeding in promoting Blu-Ray, far more so than the HD-DVD player for the Xbox 360 (since it is...

    how big of a monitor is enough? (with poll)

    If you're a gamer then yeah 24" is probably big enough. But if you're big into multitasking and doing five things at once on your PC, or do a lot of graphics designing (i.e. photoshop) or anything of that nature, a 30" screen with its 2560x1600 is probably greatly preferred over 1920x1200 (yeah...

    I don't know why I didn't ask this earlier but...

    Well I remember hearing about this when I went to Fry's. Apparently eVGA had several batches of these mislabelled cards, which had to be sent back to the manufacture (640MB GTSs were ordered but instead 320MB GTSs inside 640MB boxes). You probably have one of those cards.

    Enable "Reize & Aspect" as well as "Blur & NR" For Resize, use Lanczos luma method, and change Luma sharpen and Chroma sharpen to some number from 1.2 to 1.4 (depends on how much sharpness you like) Then for Blur & NR (to make the resized image less grainy) use either Gradual denoise or...

    2900xt game bundle

    Why does it make more sense to bundle in an expansion instead of a set that includes the original game? Since when has any video card bundled with it an expansion to a game instead of the original game? Also Valve in league with AMD? People, stop being so paranoid . . . :roll: Also Orange...

    Can I expect better performance with h/x.264 videos with a 8600GT?

    You're probably better off with fast software-based decoders such as CoreAVC or FFDshow.

    Can custom resolutions be scaled in nvidia control panel?

    Hi, I'm running on a Viewsonic VX2025WM with 8800GTS and 158.19 drivers in XP. In some games I prefer to run at 1400x1050 (4:3). On my previous X1900XT, I could get centered timings so that I could run games, desktop, etc. at 1400x1050 without the monitor stretching the image. However, when I...

    Another proud VX2025WM owner here. Good colors, no ghosting and no dead pixels. Only thing is it lacks internal scaling.

    Running LCD monitor outside of "recommended" resolutions

    It's just a coincidence. If a resolution exceeds the monitors native resolution and not supported by the monitor, it'll just say something along the lines of the source is "out of bounds" or something along those lines. I've actually run 16x12 on my Viewsonic VX2025 and it will run it when it...

    8800GTS +12V Power Supply

    While I'm not implying that you need something this powerful, this PSU certainly has more than 30A on a SINGLE RAIL: PC P&C 750W

    8800GTS a worthwhile upgrade?

    From the benchmarks I've seen the 8800GTS is comparable and in some cases better than a 7900GT SLI setup so it would be pretty much the same for the 7800GTX SLI setup (since 7900GT>7800GTX) But with the 8800GTS you get DX10 capability not to mention the improved IQ which is likely worth more...

    8800GTS 640mb + 8800GTS 320mb SLI possible?

    If you flashed your 640MB card with the 320MB bios, it would probably work (I'm assuming, correct me if I'm wrong) But you would then only get 320MB of memory. And no, it would be the same as having two 320MB cards rather than two 640MB cards.

    How well does the stock EVGA 8800GTS 320MB overclock?

    Probably closer to 90% at 16x10, depending on the game.

    8800GTS...can't run any game

    No, it still uses the 12V rail (and it's combined output across all 12V rails that matters)

    What's your 8800GTX Idle Temp?

    My 8800GTS idles at 50C with load temps ranging from 58C to 60C (60 C to 62 C on hot days like today). That's with a Thermalright HR-03 Plus with a 80mm fan @ 2500 rpm. I've also noticed that with the HR-03 Plus, it doesn't matter if I leave the case side panel open or closed.

    How well does the stock EVGA 8800GTS 320MB overclock?

    Well except in games such as GRAW which require a high amount of texture memory, the 320MB 8800GTS should be fine at 1680x1050/1600x1200 and even 1920x1200.

    Well the AA is no available in game so it has to be forced via the drivers.

    how well does EVGA 8800gts 640meg overclock?
