    Buying new card, worried about noise

    My XFX 7900GTX is pretty quiet. 4 case fans, a Big Typhoon cpu heatsink, and the vid card all combine to be significantly quieter than my old computer from two years ago from Boxx. It's quiet enough to sleep with it on, and I'm very bothered by any computer noise when I'm trying to sleep. Def go...

    Oblivion optimized 84.25 drivers are out!

    Could be. I'm no expert, but if they're beta, they may have conflicts with older versions' garbage that gets left when you just re-install and don't completely remove the older stuff. It's worth a try, it's only like 5 minutes to take care of and it might help.

    Oblivion optimized 84.25 drivers are out!

    Did you run Driver Destroyer or any other driver removal program to completely remove the previous drivers?

    Oblivion optimized 84.25 drivers are out!

    So I tweaked my comp last night and got some good settings, here's what I've got so far: 4400+ -> from 2.2 to 2.34 XFX GF 7900GTX -> from 665 to 680 core and 1630 to 1660 memory AF -> highest IQ -> highest All settings within Oblivion maxed, no self-shadows. Bloom + 4x (highest) AA, no...

    Oblivion optimized 84.25 drivers are out!

    Dunno if AF was on. It'd be nice if it was off and turning it on tonight helps solve the hideous texture swapping areas, if it blurred them a bit. Like I said, everything was stock, but the game still looked great so maybe I won't need that stuff.

    Oblivion optimized 84.25 drivers are out!

    I don't have FRAPS running but it was playable, it stuttered occasionally but I believe this was the game loading the next cell, like Morrowind did, I fully expect that to disappear with some optimization (like I said, this was a FRESH install, nothing tweaked whatsoever except to put IQ at...

    Oblivion optimized 84.25 drivers are out!

    Anyone with severe performance problems on their high-end machines have done something to their computer since their last format that is causing it. I just built a new machine for Oblivion and only got it up and running last night, I'm using a WinXP SP2 install with 84.21 drivers and Oblivion...

    SATA Drive format issues

    I'm trying to install WindowsXP on a fresh 250gig SATA II drive and Windows' format is only allowing me to make a ~130gig partition to install Windows on. Now, regardless of the wisdom of not installing Windows on a separate partition from my programs, please help me figure out how to reformat...

    84.21 Performance Boost

    What is the dual-core problem you guys are talking about? I haven't read about it and I am currently installing WinXP on my new X2 4400+ 7900GTX machine... it would seem you guys are referring to bugs with the 7900 drivers and dual-core but it's the first I've heard of it and I'll be quite...

    7900 Series Pricing and Availability

    I didn't originally understand what you meant by page 2, got ya now. It's odd that a site search for "7900" only turns up two results instead of all of them. It's also a good thing I bought my card when I did, I may have gotten the last of the $529 XFX's. There's still a couple others in...

    7900 Series Pricing and Availability

    Just purchased an XFX card from ZipZoomFly. I'm a bit perplexed as to why they aren't listed anywhere on the site except from those links that were posted, and I'm sad there wasn't an eVGA one available but glad that the XFX was. Was the poster of those links a ZipZoomFly employee, is that...

    New gaming rig - critique my selections / suggestions

    So I'll take your advice and get the other ram, I had just pulled that particular ram off of someone else's list and knew corsair was a good brand. As for the video card, between evga, xfx, and bfg, any suggestions as to your preference for best quality? I like Asus because I've always gotten...

    New gaming rig - critique my selections / suggestions

    So I think I'll go for the Thermaltake heatsink, thanks for the suggestion. I updated my motherboard selection to the A8N-E since it's got SATA II and maybe some other stuff but is only $15 more. Are you sure that the Thermaltake will fit on the Asus board? I assume it will since it's a...

    New gaming rig - critique my selections / suggestions

    I'm building a new rig to play Oblivion/HL2/etc and I want the fastest parts with a reasonable price. So for instance I don't think I really need SLI as I am not under the impression that the speed gain is earth-shattering (am I wrong?) and I don't need the fastest CPU when the next one down is...
