    Looking for a low-cost replacement for my dying 9600GT

    Was just thinking about that... push the AA/AF up more than I've been able to on my 9600GT. Would be nice to have the headroom to push up the quality without dropping my frame rate too much or at all.

    Looking for a low-cost replacement for my dying 9600GT

    I think I have narrowed it down to either a 5770 or a GTX260 (Core 216). The 260 is a little more expensive (and uses more power) but it seems to be a little bit better performer. Both can be had for around $100 or a little higher. I just want to make sure that either choice would not be...

    Looking for a low-cost replacement for my dying 9600GT

    As in the title... i thing my 9600GT is dying. Often my display will simply turn off as if the computer has turned off and my monitor goes into energy saving mode. I have to shut down the computer and then reboot to get my display back. I have a Gigabyte EP35-DS3L motherboard which, according...

    Need a new GPU fan

    LOL... yeah that occurred to me right after I posted. Found several sites that had it in-stock for about $28.99. Definitely gonna order me one - love the fact that it doesn't need a fan. Thanks! (Now I just need to order some AS5 with it!)

    Need a new GPU fan

    Unfortunately they are out of stock for a couple weeks - don't think my card will last that long. Was about to order this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118050 Would it be OK to go with the Zalman or wait on the other cooler? I don't overclock any so all I...

    Need a new GPU fan

    I currently have a PNY 9600GT. The card is perfect for what I need but the fan is slowly dying. I have already sent the card back once for a fan replacement but once again it is failing on me. It is making a clicking sound and I can hear it speed up and slow down. My question is... are the...

    GUIDE: Install Windows Vista, 7 and 8 from a flash drive!

    I get a really strange message when I do the xcopy command - it copies about 10 files until it gets to /boot/en-us/bootsect.exe.mui. I then get the following error: "The target volume does not support symbolic links" and it stops copying. If I browse to that file on my CD something...
