When you say "pipeline" do you mean pcie downstream pipeline? Enabling the pci-e downstream pipeline for my 8800GTS SSC reduced my 3dmark06 scores by 300-400 points and caused serious artifacting.

well, i bit the bullet and bought a 8800gts 640 (the ssc model with 112 stream processors)... didn't feel like messing around with trying to flash a 8800gt. I'll post detailed benchmarks once i get it.

The 3870 is a Gen2 PCIe card and will probably have the same problems that the 8800gt has with PT880pro/ultra boards, unfortunately.

i think i'll wait for a used 8800gts 640mb.... anything else is probably overkill in these old PT8800pro/ultra boards

I get marginally better performance running my Corsair Ballistix PC5300 at 533 (FSB 1:1) rather than 667- the lower latencies also help. At 667, the 4coredual mobo just can't provide enough voltage to run tight timings and performance suffers. But honestly, you cannot tell a difference in real...

8800gt does not work with the dual boards using the PT880pro/ultra chipsets. Hopefully a bios update may remedy this.

but do i really wanna go back to Nvidia? The 7xxx series was a nightmare with bad drivers and poor image quality. Someone convince me the 8xxx series is that much better?

If a 8800gt can break 10,000 in 3dmark06 on the 4x pcie, it just may be the right card to replace a x1950pro.

Crysis single player demo

demo was pretty fun... I like all the powerup options. It actually runs very smoothly on a x1950pro 512 PCIe at medium settings with no AA at 1280x800. What's impressive is the physics. There are tons of destructable objects in the game- shooting down trees to block cars was pretty cool. And...

LOOKING CPU

Check out the Arctic Freezer 7 Pro for under 20 bucks. Works just as well as any 50 dollar cooler.

The label on the side of the PSU would have the ratings but 500W is most likely sufficient to at least boot into windows and use 2D video. Did you uninstall your previous video card driver? Can you boot into safe mode?

karmaKiller... I have the same issues with a E4400. Temps are pretty high, 45-50C on idle and 70C at full load. The temps are exactly the same whether its running at the stock 2ghz or OC'd to 2.66. Its Orthos stable so I'm alright with it, for now... on another note: I have found...
