    Low 3dmark with new 8800GT

    I doubt you guys are having psu problems. If you did you would be getting even lower scores - somewhere around 1100 or so. Interestingly, if you run Vista you might not get the warning dialog if your card isn't getting enough power. Here's my experience with a new/incompatible psu (Corsair...

    New psu (PCP&C 610 Silencer), new 3DMark score: 11,263. A little tweaking and overclocking of the CPU and everything should be running smoothly soon...

    Multiple rails and modular psu

    I've got a hx520 psu with 3 rails and modular cords...but no where do I see what plugs are on what rail? How do you know what plug is on what rail?

    Misery loves company, eh? :) You would think something like this would show up in any number of the tools out there (including nvidia's own control panel). But I swear I can't find mention of being in this "safe mode" anywhere except for the dialog that got popped up under XP (but not in...

    I've had no luck with 169.12 (I knew there was slim hope for it). Haven't found any older drivers yet either (links on nvidia's site are dead to the legacy drivers). I'm going to set up a separate XP partition and see what happens with XP and the XP drivers.

    Hmmm...found the link to the legacy drivers...but the page is down for maintenance...lol. On another note...I just noticed that 169.12 is out (just came out in the last few hours it looks like). I'm going to try that next...

    Is there a version or range of versions you suggest? And where can I get back level drivers from? I can't seem to find a link to them on nvidia's site...

    BTW, The card is a BFG OC2...thus the factory overclock. I've tried de-clocking it but can't seem to get the settings to stick. Am I missing something special to change the settings (I was trying to reset to 600/900 via the nvidia control panel)? I'll try the different PCI power plug on...

    - x16 looks good for PCIe in cpu-z - 1280x720 in Company of Heroes (auto settings) gets about 12 fps...that's the only game I've installed so far on this machine. - Haven't installed a dual boot of XP yet, maybe later this week. - I've also got another 8800GT coming for another machine...
