OK, got it working, for future reference. I ended up using the digital only cable and it would work off either port on the 660 GTX . I am still confused by this and need to read up on my DVI specs.

Forceman, I did try safemode but no luck, I will try complete boot then attach monitor tonight.

The funny thing is on the 660 the second DVI port is a digital only... I think anyway from the pin-out. I am going to bring a DVI Digital cable home tonight and try it. I am stumped:confused:

I am wondering if anyone else has seen this issue, I had a Gigabyte 6850 with one of the Korean IPS panels(27 inch catleap) and it worked perfectly. I just upgraded to a Gigabyte GTX 660 video card and it will not display to that panel. It will show post and Windows splash screen then blank...

Mine is very random, similar to your conditions as well. I have been procrastinating the 7 install. I really needed a reason to make the switch... Gaming has been fine though, I went from a 9800gt to the 6850 gaming seems quicker/smoother but I only play BF2.

Yeah I am experiencing the same thing, I guess I am going to have to finally install Windows 7 that has been sitting on my desk for months.

If you have a recent backup/image - I would try to hit it with the latest firmware when the bios sees it. Usually destructive to data so be warned. Patriot is usually pretty good about warranty replacement. They even upgrade a dead Torx for me to a Inferno via RMA:)

Put my name in the hat.

Can you get any S.M.A.R.T data off of it? You can find utilities that will read the total hours on for most drives, as well as other usefull data.

I am running the synthetic read/write benchmarks to use as a gauge, I know my drive performance is much better in day to day use, I am just trying to quantify it. If you would like to dissect CrystalMarks testing procedures more power to you. I believe he has the source available on his...

I posted a follow up test in this thread, I have not run the trim utility yet. I do not seem to have taken a big performance hit after three weeks of use. I am the exact opposite of you as do I not like to take the time to reinstall/configure my system, I have actually not scratch installed...

I count you asking four questions about this benchmark in this thread (not one as you claim)? It does seem somewhat obsessive to me. Sorry if I hurt your feelings, not intended. I originally tried/tested CrystalMark as an apples to apples comparison to others with the same drive...

I did not author the software so I am not sure how that data set is implemented. I would suggest you contact the creator for more information. It is a fairly small download, you could google and test to try and satisfy your curiosity. You seem somewhat obsessed with it? Do you have some...

Test size drop down. I am using this benchmark to compare to others on the G-Skill forum using the same test.

From the Crystal Mark Website - Key Features ◦Sequential reads/writes ◦Random 4KB/512KB reads/writes ◦Text copy ◦Change dialog design ◦internationalization (i18n) Important Notice ◦"MB/s" means 1,000,000byte/second. I believe the results are...

Still very fast. I have not trim/wiped yet seems to be holding performance perfectly. This is my main home rig so it gets 5 or 6 hours of average daily use. I wanted to check to see if I should run the trim command. Just a update for people thinking about Indilinx based SSDs

I only really play Battlefield 2, Load time is way down - I have not timed it yet but if I made a guess Raptor = 25 to 30 seconds load vs 6 to 10 seconds on the SSD Falcon. I have only had it installed for a couple of days and played a total of 30 minutes of BF2 on it, I was usually close...

Have had it installed for a couple of days now, all I can say is WOW, It surpassed my expectations. Great Product. One more benchmark.

Can you fix the title in my post to read - G-Skill Falcon 128gb Quick Benchmarks In the Data Storage Systems section Thanks Wayne

Got my 128gb Falcon today, updated to 1571 firmware first, then ghosted from my raptor 150. System Specs Gigabyte p35-ds3l Ver 2 E8400 CPU 3gb DDR2 667 Fat32 XP Pro Native Mode Sata on in Bios Ghosted with mini XP Shell and Ghost32 AHCI OFF First Impressions are WOW! Program...

I get my Falcon 128 today :) I plan on having a 500gb data drive for Torrents, Downloads, Videos, Zip, Rar, uncompressed and ISO files. I am leaving my OS and Programs on the SSD, I want the overall performance increase in day to day use. I can see your point about working data files...

They had Acer 17 inch LCD's. I would have loved to do a three monitor setup but I already have a 24 and they would have killed me...

They came to $206 with shipping and tax for 3. Wife and Sons Desks(not great Pics) Going to keep the last one for me.

Dlink IP security cam with motion detection, sent to me via email.

Thanks to the OP in Hot Deals. Seems like never get in on these, well the sun does shine on a dogs ass every once and while.

Homemade rack mount - that never quite looked rite, it's strong but never really turned out. Home Depot angle iron, tried painting it- paint flaked, put in 16 port switch - switch died. I might try and redo it and tidy up the cables when I finally go to gigabit at the house.

You know that movie well it seems, random shot with no main characters. - Nice

My E8400 does triple duty, HTPC, Gamer, Work. The Klipsch still pumping hard after 8 years, expensive back then but worth it.
