I've had a 790i sine late April. It's a screamer when everything is working. The problems I had were with SLI - freezing when SLI enabled. I'm not sure if it was P06 bios or the 175.19 drivers or a fresh XP32 installed that fixed it since I did all three at the same time. I'd go with EVGA every...

Hi Heatlesssun: You tried to help me out with my setup back in April. Thanks again. Glad your setup is going well. I'm /shiver actually thinking about using EVGA's Stepup program to turn my two 9800GTX's into two GTX280's for $360 plus shipping. But I hesitate to give Nvidia any more of my...

Yupp... the truth you tell. That stinks. I myself have been yanked around by greedy management who make the people under them pay for their mistakes. Last September I quit my job and told them, politely, to take their job and shove it (pay was very good, taste was very bad). Took seven months...

Hello... renny? Helllllloooo... Nobody is taking joy in the possiblilty of people losing their jobs. The only people who should lose their job(s) is/are the senior management at Nvidia who are squandering Nvidia's reputation and market position. I paid $1000 for a 790i and two 9800GTX's on...

I disagree based on my experience and what I've read by the more knowledgable posters on the EVGA boards. I have a 790i and SLI 9800GTX's. I recommend installing one card, let Windows handle that and the boot into safe mode and let windows see the second card. That's what worked for me. I...

Check out the EVGA boards. I have 9800GTX SLI and a 790i Ultra. It just plain don't work in my XP32 system. I tested driver after driver. I bought new memory, Super Talent Project-X 2000. Tested all sorts of bios configs and mem timings. I'm so sick of it. 174.74 has the fan speed problem...

I used to get BSODs in Stalker too. Fixed. Let me guess... you installed the game... patch... patch... patch... patch... = BSOD. Do this... install... load game... exit game... patch-1... reboot, load game... exit game... patch-2..., reboot, load game... exit game... patch-3... reboot...

Heatlesssun: Thought I'd post to let you know that your idea to bump FSB to 1.45 is what finally worked for me. I was able to play Crysis on all High (except Objects - Medium) for hours yesterday. No hiccups at all. Stalker still BSODs sometimes and I didn't try COD4 or World In Conflict. But...

Hi again Heat: Bumping the NB up to 1.45V may have helped decrease the frequency of the video freeze and NV4_DISP.DLL BSOD's. But I'm still getting them. This morning I got a BSOD in Stalker after 5min in game and 15min after morning boot. There just doesn't seem to be a common thread that I...

Hi Heatlesson: Thanks for the suggestions. I had SPP up to 1.35V. On your suggestion I bumped that to 1.45V. My MCP was already at 1.50V. GTLVrefs are all at -25mV. My ram, 2x1gb, in the black 0-2 banks, is rated at 1333 1.75V 6-6-6-18... but the specs are extended to 1.8V since they have the...

I've got to put my two sense in on this thread. I have an EVGA 790i setup, Q9300, twin EVGA 9800 GTX's (sequential serial numbers). I went with XP to avoid Vistra issues. I avoided Raid-0 to avoid those issues. I wanted high end but I took steps to avoid possible issues/instability. Setting up...
