Wow thats concerning considering my 9800 GTX just arrived today. I upgraded from a 8800 GT as well. I'm sure something is wrong, I hope it's not your card. Which MB and PS do you have? I'm going to install mine tonight, I'll let you know if I have similar problems. I have not run Vista on...
I was going to loose my setup, so I selected the 9800 GTX just for the fact that it was $200 cheaper than the 8800 GTX, maybe not as fast (close enough I won't notice) cooler running and less power... but overall it was the $200 difference!
When you pay little you get little. Get the best card you can afford you will thank yourself later...I mean how much is $30-$80 these days " A TANK OF FREAKIN GAS":eek:
The GX2 is 10.5" same as the 8800 GTX so the 9800 GTX is 1.5" shorter. This as I said is according to EVGA spec sheet for each card. Height is the same on all 3 cards.
Man I can't remember what the VIC 20 or Commodore 64 had in them:D
My first real card was maybe matrox or cirrus logic SVGA PCI card w 1MB or something like that.Man I can't remember now I'm really curious what I had exactly. Anyone know where I can find a graphics card time line listed by...
$50.00 for a Corsair, who cares how long it lasts. You will spend more money in a week on crap you don't really need which more than justifys the Corsair purchase. I have a Corsair 520HX paid $100 for.....its just as strong as the day I got it.
Well I choose not to Bypass....actually my Step-up was about to expire so I took the plunge. Going to an almost top of line card for $50 really not much to think about. Going from a 8800 GT 512mb to a 9800GTX I should see all my setting up higher than they are now... If I could just get off...
