WOW I get back from work and see this on my topic. And the reason for getting a 6600gt was to have something to use till I get something better. Like for 8 months or so. But Im not going to get it because it looks like the video game market is kind of in a mid point between some good cards, and...
Well I am thinking of getting some more ram, and waiting a month or 2 and then getting the 6800. My friend talked me into getting this http://www.zipzoomfly.com/jsp/ProductDetail.jsp?ProductCode=80098-21&ps=ho1
it would be better then my 512mb of crap ram.
And I was planing on using usps to...
Yea I was kinda thinging of saving up some money and going with a 6800 or maby even a x800pro. But now that my 9800 is I am using a ati 9000pro. and that's not very good for hl2.
I was just confused by some of the prices. 9800xt for 250 or so, and a 6600gt for under 200. that didn't make...
Well my 9800xt is no longer with us. So I'm looking to replace it, was thinking of just getting another 9800xt but the 6600gt caught my eye. I would like to know if the 6600gt would be better then my old 9800xt, or if a 9800xt would do better.
Also if anyone could recommend one about $200...
(tear,)
Oh man, I thought so. I was hopping for anything else but that, but I can't say I didn't see that coming. Sigh, I guess it may have slid just a bit when I was installing the hoses or something. I feel like crying!!! lol
The worst thing is I can't go up to my friends and say, "Dude...
Well I did install the stock cooler and there was no change.
As for the gpu,,, I took the heat sink off and noticed at the corner a very small "Scratch". So I got out my camera and took a pic http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v403/Merchise/DSC01133.jpg and in the pic it looks LOTS worse then...
No I havn't looked at the core nor did I remove the shim. The shim shouldn't need to be removed because the water block is notched out for the shim. And if the gpu is chiped is there anything I could do? Or is it trash?
and one thing is like the 5th time i reinstalled the card and water...
Well the block I was using was the zalman zm-gwb1. And the very first time it didn't seat right because I used the big one instead of the smaller water block. :rolleyes: but the second time I had the correct block installed but it still didn't cool. After a few reinstalls of that block, I...
So when I turn on my computer and my screen is WAY corrupted, does that mean my video card is bad?
Because it started doing that ever since I installed my water block on it. At first the water block wasn't cooling the gpu down, and it locked up. And since then it has kind of gotten worse and...
