While its not acceptable or otherwise ok, it kills me that people are shocked and surprised by the level of access they have. Seriously... this is like being surprised that Ford knows how to unlock your Prius.

Wut? :confused:

I kinda saw this coming with the 400 series launch (hence my EVGA card), but am still shocked. I had hoped they would go red and green but out all together? This makes Chromatik sad :(

Amen. I had been planning on picking up a Corsair 800D and could get it a little cheaper at a B&M here. After this, I think I'll plan on ordering from Frozen CPU. Consider it my contribution to the legal defense fund. Plus helping others in the name of justice is a better justification to blow...

I wonder if it will be Gears 3????? :) oh wait. I don't give a shit.

Forgot to link my thread and I don't see any edit buttons... http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1462586

Oh ok. Now they cop to this??? See my post here about this happening since 191.07. Maybe now I will stop having to use the Nvidia tools just manually set my fan speed on start up Dicks

Asus can afford it from all the money they save by not doing web server upgrades and not having customer service/ support. :p Note that I am an Asus customer and have been for about 10 years now :D

Apparently Asus will be releasing additional models this year as well. Please add to 1st post list. MG236 - 23 inch PG246 - 23.6 inch PG276 - 27 inch Source: http://techinstyle.tv/whats-next/asus-bringing-third-dimension-to-display-technology/ Edit: More on the PG276H variant with...

Yeah... I'll wait and make sure this release doesn't kill my 280's vram like the 191.07's did. Nvidia can create CUDA from the ground up but can't figure out how to throttle a fan in the drivers. Two different teams I guess ;)

Still waiting for my dream monitor, which is basically a CRT in an LCD form factor with perfect color I guess :D Moving from an SGI FW9011 to a BenQ G2400WD has been, and still is a challenge. :( Yeah... I was a spoiled bastard.

That LG looks like it might have some nice specs. Not sure about the speakers though.

Agreed. The Win update roll-outs happen eventually but due to extended pilots to ensure the environment won't break everyone ends up behind the curve. Its a double edged sword. Are you more paranoid about things breaking to roll-out updates, or are you more paranoid about security breaches...

Meh. This could never breach security at my company. We use McAfee! :D

Yep. My 280 died in the same way....http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1462586

Typically I wouldn't think drivers would cause hardware to fail, but the timing was entirely too coincidental for me. My card had zero issues for 8 months and within the space of 3 days it went from perfect to being unable to run any 3D applications. It seemed that anything that pushed the...

Not completely sure what the issue was honestly. I do know the facts are as follows My card worked fine since Feb 2009. Installed 191.07 on Win 7 RTM Within 2 days was getting system locks with screen corruption on every game. Additionally the cards stickers (all 3 of them) had begun to...

Currently I'm running the 182.08's for WinXP. Have been playing Mass Effect and Fallout 3 without issues since the new card came in a few weeks ago.

At this point I am running safely back on XP with older drivers. And a newly RMA'd card. I won't be going to Win 7 until Nvidia gets their shit together. Best I can tell my issue stemmed from failed VRAM. This is a card that worked perfectly since Feb 2009 and dies 2 days after the install of...

Wanted to post this over here as a heads up to those with NF200 based systems using the 191.07 drivers. http://forums.nvidia.com/index.php?showtopic=108974&st=0&gopid=604798&#entry604798 I have my own post below but this seems to be a growing issue. Trying to avoid fellow enthusiasts...

Yes. My temps stopped reporting with them as well. Many others have reported the same. All of the stickers on my card have come off due to the adhesive melting. My card is now unusable in any games and is in the process of being RMA'd. Hopefully my motherboard isn;t hosed as well. These...

My GTX 280 is now completely unable to run any game without failing. The second I load into anything requiring 3d my screen becomes a mess of ainbow colored corruption. I highly suggest you remove the 191.07 drivers if you want to keep your hardware intact. Maybe I'm wrong and my card dying...

I just got done flashing bios, clearing CMOS for kicks, then booting directly to Win 7 RTM for a clean format. After install of Win 7 I installed Nvidia 185 drivers and nothing else except UT3 (did not even patch) Launched UT3 and the second it hit the main screen (a 3d rendered background)...

Exactly. See my thread here: http://www.hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1462586 Is this the same issue you are seeing on yours Ironfists?

We'll see what happens when the RMA'd 280 gets here. The fan is still working and seems to be at normal speed (not slow rotating or anything). I really hope this is the card and not the board, but that is my worry. BFG support is awesome. Asus's is well... ask anyone here. I would expect to...

What driver version?

These issues did not start until I installed the 191.07 WHQL drivers. As it stands right now I can not play any games on my machine. 2D/ Desktop, basic applications work fine. When launching any games (Painkiller Black via Steam, UT3, Fallout 3 etc) and actually loading into them (ie loading...

Positive. The hardware has not moved since going from XP to 7. Also on the first tab of the OSD, the entire list is grayed out, ie H Position, V Position, Pixel Clock, and Phase are all grayed out. Probably going to throw XP Pro on a seperate partition to see if botting from it brings the...

I have a BenQ G2400WD and it would seem I am missing the option for display mode when using Windows 7 RC 64bit. Unfortunately the option for 1 to 1 pixel mapping is not working as a result (it was there in Win XP Pro 32bit). The OSD advanced settings show the line for "display mode" but it is...

Update: The issues have returned in full force. Yay. Blue screens related to memory addresses or memory management. The keyboard drivers decided to uninstall themselves and overall lack of stability. This machine will blue screen repeatedly then be fine for a few days. Seriously wtf...

Well here's the final report. The memory is fine no RMA needed. And the system is solid as can be now. I went 100% SATA (new DVD-RW) and disabled the IDE channel. Also tossed in my X-Fi Platinum PCI that I can no longer use to take on-board audio out of the equation (better audio that way...

Oh well. At least the board is ok then I guess. Easier to swap RAM then tear this thing apart again anyway. Other then Memtest this time out its acting ok. It survived a SiSandra 3 pass burn test at least. Will RMA the ram tomorrow and see how Memtest does with a new kit. I'll post updates...

I'm a complete noob when it comes to Memtest. Dual channel enabled or not? (its currently enabled) Also if 1 = bad Um... 5120 = fukt?

Ok so question about Memtest. How many errors/ In which tests is considered unacceptable for 4GB kit (2 x 2GB) of DD2 1066? Should I worry that there are errors. Opinions? Note. Prior to doing anything I set dram manually to 1066 with timings of 5-5-5-15 per Corsair spec

No I didn't. Right now chipset, audio, video, and lan drivers are the only thing not running off of Windows default drivers. IDE and SATA are Windows as well since I thought that mught be part of the issue. One more thing to try :) Also what is the consensus these days on using the CD that...

I plan on having a go at it this weekend starting Friday. The BIOS are current and that seems to have resolved the blue screens for now so I'm hesitant to go back to a previous version. I plan on clearing cmos and starting from scratch though. I'm also wondering if mixing an IDE DVDRW and...

I'll manually set RAM timings/ voltages tonight to corsair spec and see what happens. I grabbed the latest Chipset, audio and LAN drivers from Asus's site (it worked that day) and the rest are what came with Windows. After the last format and reload I didn't install anything else (SATA or...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, The OS has been reinstalled and drive formatted 3 times at this point (before and after bios flash etc). We have tried 1 stick of ram at a time with no change either way. The hard drive is brand new (WD RE 320GB) and we have not tried a different one yet...

I built the below for my wife recently and it has been a nightmare ever since. Multiple BSOD's, Windows update refusing to update, software Installs getting read errors off of new CD's/ DVD's etc. Flashed to latest BIOS and have not had any BSOD's since, but it randomly chooses what it does and...

Update: it fits perfectly with about 3/4 of an inch to spare :) I still love this case
