I RMA-ed an Nvidia 6600GT graphic card years ago.
The card was damaged because the fan was clogged by dust so it overheat. So that's probably would be my own fault. That said there was no warning from the driver whatsoever.
I RMA'ed the thing and got myself a new card after a week or so. No...
Wow, thats ... argumentum ad populum in its pure form. I am not sure what is it you are trying to say here. Yes, more consumers are buying NVIDIA at the moment. No that does not automatically make it the better product. Otherwise McDonald would also be the tastiest and the most nutritious food ever.

If you werent just talking about NWN1 then I really thought Mask of the Betrayer expansion is one of the finest RPG I've ever had the pleasure of playing.
I understand how you felt, I played TW1 and gave up in act 2.
That said, the Witcher 2 is freakin' amazing. The story is mature and complicated. Choices you made actually matter. The graphic is absolutely gorgeous. Combat is much much better although at some points (QTE type combat) it could be...
How safe is it to mine if my 6870 is at 50 C when idle and 80 C when mining ?
Cos I notice you are at 50 C when mining !
PS
synchronize takes forever !
I just started bitcoin mining. Joined deepbit, fired up GUIMiner, the 2011-08 version.
My average at the moment is only 190+ Mhash/s for my 6870. Did I mess up something ?
My core clock is at 948 and Memory clock at 1114

Thank you for the many advice !
I guess I needed some justification to buy a 7970 because I currently have a grand in the bank from tax return and nothing to spend it on :-)
After considering your inputs, I've decided to keep my 6870 and try bitmining a little bit with it. See if it suits me...
Hey guys,
I am a noob at bitcoin mining here. Basically my situation is that I am a work student for university which means that all my wages go toward paying for my tuition and boarding leaving about 50 dollar in my paycheck. This means that even a ten dollar payout every 2 weeks would be a...
Alright, I guess I will be on holding pattern for the moment.
I am not a fan of multi-gpu solution. The noise is a deal-breaker.
In any case, my mobo and PSU wont be able to support it.
Thanks for your help.
I play at 1920x1080. Most of the time I dont care and so do not usually bother to check if my graphic settings use anti-aliasing. When I bought the card, I had thought that it would enable me to play recent games at 60fps. Unfortunately it has trouble with my favorite games such as The Witcher...
Today's SSD capacity is tantalizingly close but I think is not yet enough for most people to just clone over their whole partition to the new SSD.
I have been thinking a little bit about buying an SSD. My current set up is :
1 TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 as main drive (Windows, Program Files and...
Situation :
A Windows box (mine is Windows 7 and LinuxMint) that has been used for some time with Windows Firewall, Avast Antivirus and AdAware always actuve.
You use the box for everything from gaming to shopping. Since you are not sure whether the box is (mostly) secure, you want to increase...
I often evaluate OS (mainly linux distro) by trying them in VirtualBox before installing them. With my rig having 8GB I only install 64bit OS. The thing is, I am currently unable to test 64 bit OS in VirtualBox. So I have to download both 32 bit for VirtualBox testing and 64 bit for...
I bought my box about 2 weeks ago at Newegg. The graphic card is a HIS 6870 and the PSU is a Xigmatek 400W.
The card requires juice from two 6-pin connector. Since the PSU only has one 6-pin power connector so I was forced to use the power converter to connect two 4-pin to fully power up the...
I turned off my lamps and climbed to bed last night. Then I was reminded of something. All this time I have been using rather plain computer cases, those without fancy LEDs. Since I intend to have my rig run 24/7 and it will sit just a couple feet away from my head, it cant be loud or shining...
Third try at the build. It is almost Monday in Hawaii so it might also be the final one.
I originally wanted to allocate 700-800 usd and ended up with 1250.
Will have to sleep over it. Suggestions for fat trimming will be very welcome.

Alright so I am taking out the DVD and OS. I am changing to case to one which I think looks much better. Adding keyboard and maybe a mouse later on.

Thanks for the reply mfenn. I notice you help a lot of member in this forum, much appreciated !
You have a solid recommendation there, but it'd be great if some tinkering can be done.
I would like to buy AMD cpu and if possible, the cpu and mobo combo should not exceed 200 usd while at the...
Hi guys, I'm looking to build a new computer so I can finally play some -real- games over the summer break. It has been a long time since I last built one and your help in this matter will be much appreciated.
1. What YOUR PC will be used for. That means what types of tasks you'll be...
Thanks for the advice.
I think I get a picture of what I want and can afford right now.
4850 512 MB looks nice at this price (can get one for the equivalent of USD 110)
However, there is a pretty big price difference between the same model of card.
For example a 512 MB DDR 3 4850 made by Asus...
About a week ago I posted here asking for help in choosing a card. Unfortunately I was under the false assumption that I would be using a 15 or 17 inch monitor and I wont be playing Crysis.
Both have changed.
The monitor I am using right now is a rather cheap Samsung LCD 943SNX 18.5 inch. The...
I think I now have a pretty good idea about what kind of card I'm gonna buy. Will pretty much stick to a cheaper one ( somewhere in a 60-70 us$ range )... perhaps a 4670, unless you guys think it's a bad idea.
Anyways, once I chose the chip there are different brands to choose from:
Asus, Axle...
The power supply is an OCZ SilentXStream 500 Watt
It has 2 hard drives, 1 DVD. I dont have an external drive.
The budget is 50 - 150 euro.
Although I'd probably aim for a 60-80 euro range.
Hi guys,
whenever I need to upgrade my graphic card, something that happens very rarely, I turn to this Forum. It has been six years since the last time that happened and now the time has come to finally get an upgrade.
My machine has the following spec :
Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 - not OC-ed...
