    Forceware x 100.30 VISTA 8800 out!!!

    Sweet, can't wait to get home to try it out :P I'm rather interested in running some tests, and seeing how well the 64bit version handles things. There hasn't been a lot of manufacturer support for the 64 bit version (still need like 6 drivers to get my system back in working order), but...

    New 8800GTS, no video in Windows but fine in DOS/BIOS?

    It's the DVI port, my 7900GTX didn't give a crap which port it was plugged into, the 8800GTX is finicky with which one you use to boot up with. Facing the back of the case it's the one on the left, if I remember right. I had the same issue :P

    8800GTX 2D extremely blurry on DVI-1 and 2

    Try the latest beta drivers? That seems to be the one a lot of the sites are using to review with.

    Why not to trust the Inquirer

    Boggle.. the Inquirer never claims accuracy. it's a blast to read and a lot of the time they have some pretty cool inside tracks on things. See the ATI/AMD deal.. as well the negioations between Nvidia and Intel. Personally I love it, I take it for what it is.. and accuracy isn't what they're...

    ATI vs. NVIDIA in terms of reliability and stability

    I've never been a fan boy of either product, but ATI burned me really really bad. There was a bug with my 9700Pro (Affected other ATI cards, mine was the 9700) and World of Warcraft for over 11 months, I don't know how many bug reports detailing exactly how to reproduce it, how it worked, why...

    New Nvidia GPU coming only 4 days

    Because the high end is lucrative and usually sets the hype to sell the mid range chips where they make their money. The whole performance crown crap has more to do with setting a mindset in consumers then it does about selling high performance chips, you give the customer the illusion that...

    our top got its (deleted) kicked by Intel (FX-60 @ 2.8 vs Conroe @ 2.66)

    So you're saying that they can't release a faster processor because of what? AM2 offers nothing in terms of better memory performance which is the whole reason they wanted to move to DDR2, most of the comparisons people are reading are simple processor conversions 4800's on a DDR1 platform vs...

    165 OC, Am I missing something?

    I used a64 tweaker because my bios doesn't have the 183mhz option, only 166. The memory runs fine, I did two 800 meg prime95's to test memory and they both ran for over 6 hours. I'm not sure what chips are used in the titanium, but mine seem to overclock just fine. And yes I am aware that every...

    our top got its (deleted) kicked by Intel (FX-60 @ 2.8 vs Conroe @ 2.66)

    Intel takes an unreleased chip and compares it to the best that AMD has to offer today. Meh is all I have to say, when the product is out the door then it's a valid claim that they have the best processor around. By the time conroe rolls out the performance gap will be much smaller, if not...

    165 OC, Am I missing something?

    Passively cooled ram, but as I said I did a massive underclock on the ram to no difference. Timings are 1T, it's not the ram =( That's the stock cooler and I don't think it's quite set yet with AS5 hence the slightly high temperature =/ I think I'm done with the OC'ing business ;) if it likes...

    Best video card of all time?

    Voodoo1 was the biggest leap for me, going from like a an ISA trident card to GL accelerated graphics was a massive improvement ;) As many people stated once you saw GL you had to change your pants, was just such a massive difference. 9700 Pro was also a big leap, this card cleaned up and...

    165 OC, Am I missing something?

    650mhz is still a decent overclock I guess =) Oh well, I guess I tapped out the cpu at that speed, it was still worth it.
