    Getting sound from DVI to HDMI on a GTX 285

    Solved: Everything installed incorrectly, I had the cable from BFG backwards- the GND was on the SPDIF/vice versa. Doh!

    BFG RMA questions/stories?

    So far nothing but good. I've had to contact them, the wait is ungodly horrible, but at least the folks seem to know what they're talking about. Email support is lacking, though- I've been playing Email Pong with someone there over the HDMI/SPDIF on the 285 GTX. Card runs great still...

    Getting sound from DVI to HDMI on a GTX 285

    Title says what I'm trying to do, the problem is the 'how'. Actually I understand the how pretty well, but something isn't working. I've got everything set up in my BIOS, on my mobo, and the DVI-to-HDMI adapter/dongle provided by BFG is there too. I get great picture, but no sound. My...

    Dragon Age graphics glitching help?

    Well the problems with DAO I now know are related to my gpu going up to 87C at 1920x1080p. In theory it shouldn't be a problem, but in practice...eh... I ran the memory tests, finally able to get my ram up to 78C (I'm telling you, I keep 'em cool) no issues. heat issue with GPU aside...

    Dragon Age graphics glitching help?

    Update: Rolled back to 186.18, same effect- system shut down. So far I've removed my Audigy4, ran several passes of memtest86+ (all passed), stress tested my CPU. Hehe oy.

    Dragon Age graphics glitching help?

    Will do and update. I've narrowed down a few other kinks with my system, namely my old Audigy4 card. The onboard HD audio from my Asus is better. Thanks!

    Dragon Age graphics glitching help?

    So others are having the fan speed lower down with the latest drivers, eh? Lame. I am using Rivatuner to adjust the fan. No worries, heh. Right now I'm trying to figure out why Stalker Complete 2009 is causing a system shutdown when my 'old' GTX 260 simply crashed the gave and gave me an...

    Dragon Age graphics glitching help?

    Well setting the fan to 90% keeps it in the upper 60s/low 70s. So can't complain there. However, the fan keeps slowing down over time- back to it's default of 40%. Hmmm so RMA or seek cooling solution given the above?

    Dragon Age graphics glitching help?

    Sorry, I've reproduced the artifacts in STALKER and The Void. CPU is always under 50C, ram is fine. So you think it's a bum card then? I just got this one as an RMA exchange from BFG, hmmm. And as for an aftermarket cooler, ya, I was looking at the Accelero Xtreme GTX280 which can with a...

    Dragon Age graphics glitching help?

    Ah, I've reproduced the error, and can keep doing so. It's a heat issue- if the card goes over 87% artifacts appear. Odd, as it's really not that hot, but I checked the CPU and ram temps, both very normal. At one point my CPU spiked to 49 degrees, other than that... So far I've set up my...

    BFG RMA questions/stories?

    ya after 2 attempts they may send it back, man. You need to get on the phone stat and ask them to hold it or redeliver it.

    Watercooling only my GPU?

    I'm pretty darn happy with my CPU temp, even under load it's maybe 37C at worst, using a big zalman 9500. Memory- no problem, cooled. I won't go into my whole BFG RMA, but I think I was having temp problems with my previous card (GTX 260) which I thought might only be due to the fan. This...

    Dragon Age graphics glitching help?

    Using the latest drivers from nvidia- 191.07 for Win7x64. The highest temp recorded by GPU-Z was in the low 80s, like 81C-83C, so I see now. But the supposed operating range for this card is supposed to be 85C-87C on a heavy load (which maxed out 1920x1080p might do?). Stalker was in that...

    Dragon Age graphics glitching help?

    Howdy! In another thread I detailed how I RMA'd my GTX 260 MCOCX and just (yesterday) received back from BFG a GTX 285 OCX. Cool. So I thought I'd hook up my 46" Samsung to it. Everything was fine...to a point- Dragon Age wants to flash these...artifacts- almost angular black things that...

    Issues/Problems/Questions- Using my HDTV for my PC and gaming

    How much smaller? Got any pics? As I get older I'm getting more and more blind, hehe, so the TV on desk thing is sounding pretty good, but at the same time I want to sprawl out like when I play console games (though I have a nice Herman Miller Aeron chair). My game room doesn't have a...
