    what drives a videocard (HD4850) during BOOT?

    I've checked again the card... I don't think the card is defective. the lines which appeared before were due to the "overscan" in the driver. Now the display is now PERFECT, card is working without problem... except for the BOOT. The weird thing is: BOOT works with Composite and...

    what drives a videocard (HD4850) during BOOT?

    Hi, I have no clue on what's happening. I've check my BIOS, checked the cables, drivers and msconfig for example. The card's display stays corrupted during BOOT sequence. Otherwise the card works under Vista. Quality is less good than the 8800GTS for video. Some lines appears. I...

    what drives a videocard (HD4850) during BOOT?

    Hi there, I have an issue with a Gainward HD4850 GS in a Shuttle SD39P2. I switched from a 8800GTS320 to my first ATI card yesterday... The HD4850 is connected to my tv (NTSC) through S-VIDEO/COMPONENT HDTV cable. First boot (after clean uninstalling the 8800GTS) and the card was acting...

    limited to 1366x768: 8600GTS enough?

    It's not a G5 but a P2. The latest model with a 400W power supply. According to every shops it handles a 8800GTS without modification. And talking about the 8800GTS, I finally succeed to get an Asus at a good price in another shop. Same configuration with a 8800GTS 320Mb and saving 200$ on my...

    limited to 1366x768: 8600GTS enough?

    Thanks all for your comments. Hunter33: I've been to Akihabara after work to check the cases. The Thermaltake is not bad at all. I considered again Shuttle cases because they are too expensive. I was able to saw that some other cases are more flexible, not so bad look and much cheaper and...

    limited to 1366x768: 8600GTS enough?

    I guess "she" can admit it's better than a big tower with LED everywhere :D ;) I like the Silverstone series too. Like this one but unfortunately too small for what I plan to do: http://www.silverstonetek.com/products/p_contents.php?pno=lc09&area=usa But, correct me if I'm wrong, the type...

    limited to 1366x768: 8600GTS enough?

    I think the G2 and P2 series are quite well built for what I saw. My first plan was about the Shuttle P2 but it's a bit over budget for me. Since I saw what these machines can do in silence and such a compact box, I guess it's the best solution for me. Compared to the AMD X2 5600+ would be...

    limited to 1366x768: 8600GTS enough?

    thank you for your quick replies I just checked that a game like STALKER for example seems not to be playable with a 8600GTS. Every times, the 8800GTS 320Mb seems to be a better value... The problem is that I cannot find a shop (here, in Japan) that provides an optional 8800GTS 320Mb for any...

    limited to 1366x768: 8600GTS enough?

    Hi everyone! This is my first post here! I plan to buy a new PC to replace my old but estimated Dell Precision M50. My display is a Sharp TV Aquos 32V limited to 1366x768 pixels. For the moment I have in mind a Shuttle SD30G2B, compact and silent. I usually play to Far Cry, O(ld)blivion...
