    8800GTX freezing issue in WiC

    I get the same thing and it's not just confined to WiC. In fact, it seems to be most DX10 apps I've tried running if I think about it. When I alt-tab out, I get an error message saying that the "Display Driver Has Stopped Working" but that Vista recovered (though the game never does). EVGA...

    Baby's First OC (With Voltage Questions)

    Wow, I feel retarded...... Apparently CPU-Z was right and my multiplier HAD been dropped. I didn't do it, so I don't know exactly when it decided to drop, but I've knocked it back up. As of right now sitting at about 3.4ghz (which I'm still happy with). I just feel like I wasted a bunch of time...

    Baby's First OC (With Voltage Questions)

    Thanks for the advice on the voltages. Like I said, 1st time doing this so I don't know what to expect. If that's a pretty good run, I'll keep them there. Temps: I think I probably applied too much (used the stereotypical Arctic Silver 5) looking back at it because the initial application...

    Never tried to OC before, and I'm lost

    I found this guide to be incredibly useful and well written for the novice. Not sure if the 650i is going to be identical to the 680i in the Bios, but I would imagine they are close enough for this to be useful to you. http://pc.ign.com/articles/747/747606p1.html

    Baby's First OC (With Voltage Questions)

    Should I be worried about those temps? They seemed to peak at about 20-30 mins in where they were consistently around 70C. Now that Orthos has been running for an hour they seem to be steady at about 63C. I'm assuming they'll go down once the thermal paste has settled in a bit (the PC was just...

    Baby's First OC (With Voltage Questions)

    Just did my first OC. The FSB is at 1600 right now (wouldn't boot at 1640 and I figured 3.6ghz was a pretty solid OC and all I need/want). I've run Orthos so far (chugging along right now) without probs. Vista core multimeter monitor shows 100% on both cores and between 95% and 99% on the RAM...

    ATI Radeon HD 2900 XT @ [H]

    I wish I'd known a week ago. I'd have my GTX now instead of waiting for it to ship this week. Oh well, at least now I can be 100% positive in my decision.

    Actual Review of 2900XT! No Joke! VR Zone

    I just wish I'd done it sooner and not kept waiting even with the rumors. I have a bunch of free time now and I'd love to be able to use my new computer.....

    Actual Review of 2900XT! No Joke! VR Zone

    Skimmed through the 1st few results and then went and bought the GTX I've been waiting to buy for weeks. Company of Heroes (just like that other review seemed to point out) is the XT's best performing game. Here is the highest res graph for the XT's best performing game: Hope those of you...

    HD 2900XT performance, another rumour or is this the truth?

    But that doesn't tell me whether I should wait to buy a video card for the PC I just built that is now only missing a graphics card **sniff**. I can't play games without this new build, yet here I am waiting..... and waiting, to find out whether to throw in a GTX or an XT(or higher end if it...

    R600 Waiting: Pros vs Cons = 8800GTX?

    I'm running Vista (64) as well, but had heard the 158.18 drivers were fine. Part of the reason that driver instability wasn't an issue I brought up in my comparison. Are you running those drivers and what probs are you having and how frequently? Lastly, are those quotes (both from reputable...
