    How hot is too hot??? - 8800GTX

    I recently picked up an EVGA 8800gtx and I swear I could cook an egg on it. Idle is around 60-65c and when playing games, it kicks up to around 80c. If I toss another case fan or two on/near it, the temps drop ~5c. The fan on the video card is hardly spinning at all (compared to an average...

    Video card for around $50.00

    I have a GF3.... It was sent to Leadtek for RMA reapir. When I called them 3 weeks after sending it in they still have no ETA for me. I am writing off that card and getting a new card. Too bad too... that card kicked ascii !! Tim

    Need suggestions, which card is better for 2D???

    Definately Matrox. I have used them for 2d for many years. You simply cannot beat them! ATI is nice, but Matrox will still beat them on clarity at higher resolutions. Tim

    Video card for around $50.00

    I'm not looking for the best card on the market, just one that can get me by until later this year. I was considering an ATI 9000 or 9200, but don't know what the differences between them are. I don't know what nVidia cards would fall into this price/performance category either. I was hoping I...

    A7N8X DLX - Slow Bootup - Please Read/Reply

    I could understand a second or two, but since this takes well over 3 to 4 times that of my KT400 board... There's gotta be something else wrong. The bios is set for quick post. So it shouldnt take this long. The HDD dection routine shouldnt take nearly 30 seconds. It should happen in a matter of...

    A7N8X DLX - Slow Bootup - Please Read/Reply

    I think I already know the answer to this, but it takes on average 10 seconds from power up until the post beep, then 20 seconds to detect the HDD's and when the OS boots, it never gets anywhere. From power on until it tries to boot to an OS it usually takes over a minute (SCSI card init too). I...

    Why does 'DELTREE \WINDOWS' take so long?

    It is likely you are not running a disk caching program, i.e. Smartdrive. I have had it take over 15 minutes to delete the Windows directory when I had no disk caching program running. -t

    Fast LCD Monitor.. ?

    I am looking for an LCD monitor with the fastest response time for FPS gaming. I had read somewhere that newer and faster LCD's were coming out at the end of 2002. If you have any opinions, send 'em my way. I am looking for a 17" LCD. Thanks! Tim

    Asus A7V8X - Does it support 333Mhz FSB?

    Thanks. I guess I should have included this... Will it have the proper PCI divider support so that I am not overclocking my PCI and AGP bus when going to 166(333) Mhz on the FSB? Thanks! -t

    Asus A7V8X - Does it support 333Mhz FSB?

    SCSI setup.. Termination question.

    Always terminate the first and last physical device on a SCSI chain. So if a hard drive is one end of the cable and the zip drive at the other (external connections count as a continuation of the internal cable) you would want to terminate the hard drive and zip drive. If there were no zip drive...

    SCSI hdd and Parity Checking Question

    I run SCSI and I have parity checking enabled. It just adds a little bit to the end of the data for error checking. If it finds an error it re-transmits the data. It allows for higher data integrity across the bus. It _might_ cause a miniscule slowdown, but I doubt you will know it. Parity with...

    What sound card would you buy?

    I would like to get the best sound quality, but I dont have decent speakers and likely wouldnt notice the difference. I do play alot of games though. I hear Turtle Beach makes good cards, but what about compatibility? Do they still have the problems of SB compatibility, or does that not matter...

    KT7A and the AMD Thoroughbred ?

    Does anyone know if the Abit Kt7a will work with the new Thoroughbreds? I have too much invested in Muskin ram to dump it and get a nice DDR rig. Any help would be appreciated! I am referring to the version 1.3 or greater on the Kt7a. I know the older rev boards probably wont take them. Thanks! -t

    Need help with my new Visiontek GForce3 TI500 6964

    Which version of the drivers? Don't try the 23.xx ones yet. I dont recall seeing this as an issue with other cards, it might be that you were unlucky enough to get a defective card. :- ( -t

    Exchange Radeon 8500 for a Vsiontek GF3 ti ?

    If you get a GF3 ti500, try to get the Leadtek or Gainward variety. This will ensure you get the best possible 2d IQ with a GF3 chip. You could always _try_ the Visiontek and see if you like it. -t

    What I think about the ATI Radeon 8500

    I went thru 4 different GF3 cards in search of crisp 2d text. I finally found one. The Leadtek TDH GF3. This card is awesome, and while it may not beat the Matrox, (very close tho) it?s definitely better than the Radeon 8500 I tried (agonized) with. Nvidia seems to have better stability with...

    Video card with best 2D

    I just received my Leadtek TDH Geforce3. Everything looks great to me. At 1280x1024 @ 75hz it looks good. At that same res, using 85hz as a refresh, everything still looks good to me! If you were to get a GF3 I would recommend getting a Leadtek GF3 TDH. I dont know about the ti500, but...

    Video card with best 2D

    I have been running this gauntlet for a while now. The Matrox cards are great for 2d, but have no 3d features. Next best would be the Radeon 8500. I loved the 2d of this card, but its lackluster driver support drove me to take it back (way too many compatibility probs). I tried 4 different GF3...

    GF3 ti200 SUPER BADASS TROUBLE

    Your problem shouldn't be this hard to fix. I would guestimate that you have a bad card. Why not try to replace it? It would likely be easier than pulling your hair out, reformatting, trying different drivers every day, etc... -t

    Which Geforce 3

    There is nothing wrong with Herc, unless you like crappy 2d.. In this I mean that at higher resolutions and refresh rates the text will be fuzzy and quite possibly unreadable. If you run at 800x600 you will be fine. If you run at 1280x1024 at a refresh rate of 85hz then expect it to be blurry. -t
  32. T

    Which Geforce 3

    Stay away from the Herc card... it has aweful 2d at higher refresh rates/resolutions. I would get the Leadtek, but its too pricey. You might try the Gainward or Elsa card instead.

    should i get a redeon 8500???

    Which G-Force 3 card is the best?

    I have heard the Prophets are not that great. I had one, returned it. I think the best would either be the new Leadtek ti500's or a Gainward item. -t

    GeForce3 or Radeon 8500?? Please Help guys v.2!!!

    I had a GF3 card (a few of them actually) and now I have a Radeon 8500. I wanted to get the best 2d IQ at high resolutions/refresh rates. I must say this radeon does do that, but there is one major problem: Driver Maturity. If you want a gaming card, get a GF3. There are so many freakin bugs...

    2d quality - Radeon 8500 -vs- GF3 (My Findings)

    Just wanted to post a quick message. After going through 4 GF3 cards, 1 Matrox g550 and now playing with the Radeon 8500 I must say that the Radeon seems to have the best 2d quality (to me atleast) out of the roundup. The GF3's simply suck! I tried 1280x1024 @ 85hz and it was un-beleivably...
