Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Oh I'm well aware that's it's one of those two - that's what this is all about ;)
I've come to the conclusion that it has to be the video card by now.
Something I didn't mention was that before I got the 750W PSU I tried to run the card with a dedicated 510W PSU and that didn't work...
Ok I tried it in the older system
Nforce 4 MB (ASUS A8N..something)
AMD XP 3500+
1 GB DDR ram
IDE Harddrive
CD drive
Same error message, so I guess one of the parts is faulty... now the question is which one :/
I guess that could be a possibility I did consider it myself and I could try and rebuild my Nforce4 machine and see if I can get it to work on that.
I'll give it a try, thanks :)
Yeah I am.
And the card will run, it just gives the power warning message and the performance is low (however the GPU/mem speed doesn't seem to be lowered).
The PSU is specced at 18A per rail which apparently isn't enough, the 850W I mentioned in my other post is 30A.
I see that the Toughpower 850 is on the recommended PSU list, I guess mine wont do...
unfortunately I can't return the PSU since the label on it has been scratched so I'm getting rid of the 8800 - they really need to put something on the pages listing the exact requirements for using the card.
*SIGH*
I just purchased an ASUS 8800GTX card and I wasn't surprised when my current PSU didn't provide enough power for that card, I kinda expected that.
Then I went and purchased a new PSU that I think should be able to work, but it doesn't I still get the not enough power indicator :mad:
I...
hooa apparently doesn't know it only works with ATI cards - you have to use another utility to change the clocks - it can only scan for artedacts nothing more if you're using a Nvidea card.
I flashed my 5900 nu with a 5950 u BIOS but the ram speed is a bit too high, and I have to underclock to 940 - if one of you people can help with an editor it would be appreciated :)
I flashed my Sparkle FX5900 nu with the Leadtek bios and it works fine, my card couldn't manage 475 but apparently the core-voltage in the 5950 BIOS is higher, now it does 475 without problems, the RAM settings at 950 works fine in games but on the desktop there are some artifacts, but I just...
I would defenitly say get the 9800SE.
1. You might be able to unlock the extra 4 pipelines and get a 9800 PRO
2. The 9800SE is most likely faster. I have a Hercules AIW 9800SE, I could not unlock the 4 extra pipelines, but it oc's to 432 core 720 mem, I'm sure that it beats every oc'ed...
Well even if it's not listed I found the 1015 BIOS for the P4P800 here.
There is no new BIOS for the P4C800 at the FTP.

It does however not say if it supports prescot!!!
