    PNY 8800GTS 320MB in game failures

    After taking everyone's feedback, I reformatted XP and bought a new PSU and another gig of ram. GRAW now runs flawlessly and looks incredible. In the end I think it must have been the PSU. Thanks all for your help!!!

    PNY 8800GTS 320MB in game failures

    Well, it did take a drive with it. Late last night, I started getting "hang" at startup after a clean install. The only thing that I had added to the mix wath plugging in my 2nd SATA drive. Soon as I unplugged it, problem solved. So I check the connections, because I was also getting strange...

    PNY 8800GTS 320MB in game failures

    Well, your voodoo has struck my system. As I was working on it tonight, the PSU ... FAILED ... GOD! Computers are a damn expensive hobby. Anyway, I got myself a Coolermax 650W extreme power duo and I am also reformatting WinXP as we speak to see if that solves that XP problem. More to come on my...

    PNY 8800GTS 320MB in game failures

    I am not sure why you would call my PSU a "low end" unit...It has been rocksolid since I got it and I purchased it based on 2 recommendations from computer builders I trust. Since XP was the problem and games run fine under Vista, I can only assume it was a driver issue of some sort. I have...

    Ditch the PNY 8800GTS 320MB for ATI X1950XT 512MB?

    Yes, the problems all happen in XP. So far no game is playable in XP which seems odd to me. So far the only game that experiences the same problems in both operating systems is GRAW. I just tried HL2 and Lost Coast and they look incredible and run smooth under vista. I guess it will now...

    Ditch the PNY 8800GTS 320MB for ATI X1950XT 512MB?

    So after all the the drama of trying to get my brand new PNY 8800GTS ($269 on sale) to work, I am now wondering if I should save $60 bucks and order up the Sapphire ATI X1950XT 512MB ($209 after rebate). Let the debate begin! My thread titled PNY 8800GTS in game failures has the details.

    PNY 8800GTS 320MB in game failures

    So here is the latest findings running all the same system components with the excetion of running under a single harddrive formatted with Vista Premium.

    PNY 8800GTS 320MB in game failures

    So I took back the card and exchanged it for an identical one. This time when I went into GRAW, I could start the first mission and it looked great...for a minute...then it crashed into a black window and shut down the video card. Then I tried BF2, would almost load into a game, but right...

    PNY 8800GTS 320MB in game failures

    I just bought this PNY 8800GTS from Compusa on sale for 269. Smokin deal right? Well, considering that my ATI 800XL has worked flawlessly in every system I have built it into...and now I can't even play any of the games in system...NO. The situation looks like this...System runs fine once ATI...
