    9800gtx running like $%*$

    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...

    ordering today:9800gtx or 8800gtx?

    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!

    Physical size of the 9800GTX?

    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.

    Corsair VX550W longevity?

    $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.

    Does anyone think that the 9800 GTX is inappropriately named?

    Since I posted in one of the other threads I might as well post it here as well: 8900GSX Hybrid.....

    Bypass the nvidia 9800 series for now?

    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...

    I will buy EVGA all the time!

    ? How long after you entered your payment info, did it take to verify payment and send you an instructional email on what to do next. I paid yesterday and have not heard anything back yet.

    I started with 9800 Pro, now its 9800GTX....

    Funny I was thinking the same thing on calling it the 9800. Though the Pro was not my first card it was a good card. My first card was a Diamond ......? can't remember the name it had an INDY racecar on the front to show it was fast:D. I bought it so I could run the orginal Wolfenstien faster...

    Need HELP new PS3 isn't working right.....

    That was going to be my suggestion. Since you have no problems with your other games, I would think it was the disk not your PS3.

    Who's getting a 9800GTX?

    Yes I will get a 9800GTX just for the fact my Stepup ends in 5 days.Right now I'm in que #53 for the EVGA step up program. Stepping up from a 8800GT 512mb non X or S for $50 seemed like a great deal, rather than losing my step up privilage. I was going for the GX 2 but could not justify the cost...

    I'm new to the PS3 so I'm not sure if this is normal or not but, somedays I come home from work my PS3 will be turned on after I know it was off. Is this normal, is it trying to update because I have it setup through my wireless? My concern is when I'm not using it, its behind a glass door of my...

    Why did you stop folding (F@H) on your C2D/C2Q/P4D?

    I used to Fold for a different team, then I moved to Hawaii and my electric bill quadrupled thats all it took. Then after moving back to the mainland I donated my 6 folding rigs to friends, family. Just lost intrest as I do in most things that do not keep me entertained. Though I still have one...

    A little reassurance on my Step -Up

    From what I've been reading they are getting some descent OC'ing at stock cooling. So all in all I was going to step up to a 8800 GTX but for $220 less I think I'll be happy with the 9800GTX.

    A little reassurance on my Step -Up

    UHHH that would be Dell..lol. I just got through building my son's rig with a 8800GTX, I still needed a card, and I had a $99 credit with Dell so one thing led to another and BAM!.....overpaid!:rolleyes:

    A little reassurance on my Step -Up

    So I pulled the trigger on my EVGA step-up because I only have 5 days left, So do you think going from a 8800GT 512mb (non S or X) to the 9800GTX for $74.00 which includes UPS 3-day was worth it?

    xps m1210??

    I just got mine a week ago and love it. The only con I can think of is, make sure you get the larger battery upgrade. Yes it will stick out a little farther in the back but it is worth it in my opinion. This thing tends to eat up my standard battery in about 3 hrs but usually less...seems to be...
