Plug your PS line into a fan, make sure the current is flowing, then make sure the card's molex connector hasn't been knocked ascrew, loose, or anything like that and plug the line back into the card (always ensure the card is all the way in the AGP slot). Which driver are you using?

You see, you have to tell us things like the word Ultra, when it is used in identifying your card. Leave something like that out and we give you the wrong advice : )

I think you are talking about the extra three pin connector on your card, yes? Because your card is a 5200 card, it should not have a four pin molex connector anywhere on it. In fact, your card being an albatron card, shouldn't even have a fan on it. Do NOT plug your card into your PS...

today, the only comparable card is the 6600GT, and if you are buying new today, buy the GT instead. If you already have a 9800Pro, keep that, the 6600GT is equal to it but not really better. Cheapest AGP one I see right now is this one...

If you have the WinFast version, then I have to agree with the other post, it's not worth it. Actually, if someone told me that your leadtek cooler worked better that the nv5 I wouldn't even be surprised. That thing is massive copper. If it's not working good enough you could buy a faster fan...

He got ripped twice, the card should be 500mhz AND only cost him about $130 now, not $200 for 325mhz.

I believe that the 5500 is clocked at 270 with a fan on the CPU, and the 9200 is clocked at 250 with no fan... The 9200 is 8.1 and the 5500 claims to be 9.0 (but we all know that that isn't true for games). However, changing from one card to the other consists of changing brand names with...

The stock reference design for the 6800GT is an aluminum block, you lose about 5-10c just by switching to an all copper block and and keeping the reference fan casing (see eVGA's reference design copper block market item for an example). I'm betting that the MSI's larger fan, all copper...

Was it the early edition reference design cooler that came on your MSI card or was it the all copper modified version (you know, big circle and a fan)

That's your monitor, not your video card nor driver giving you that error. Set your resolution to a smaller level and then reduce the refresh rate to something more managable, like 85 or less, and then install the newer driver. Afterwards you can put the refresh rate and the resolution back...

If you insist on ATI, how much is a x700 pro XT or otherwise in canadian money? I don't think I would buy a x600 but the x700 is fine and fast and cheaper than the 9800's and better... But if you were smart, I think you should look at the @220 or less 6600Gt's as well.

The 6800 plain jane is a good bet at $250ish, but so is the 6600Gt and x700 series (pro or xt) for about $200, great cards for the money...

I just now played it again, and I'd already played it twice before I posted originally, but I had to play it again because I had to make sure that I wasn't completely nuts, the way some of you guys were saying that the graphics were only so-so. But I'm sticking with my first assesment, the...

You have got to be kidding?!? What are you talking about? I've played FarCry extensively with many different settings, and it looks great, fantastic even, but I noticed immediatly that when this game booted up the first time that this was a step beyond... Did you play this demo or are you...

My system - 3200XP Athlon speed, eVGA 6800GT at default speeds and the 66:00 driver: Game set at 1280x1024@85mhz FRAPS says a good steady 43 when I turn everything in the game on and high, and the driver set at 'application' for AA and AF and High Quality. Nice demo, nice videocard...

You say it's old? Can you still buy it?

I'm looking to buy a game for myself and my kids, I'm looking for something to let us use the forcefeedback joystick and do some flying. Preferably a game that lets us practice in solo mode and then play online against other pilots - however, I don't care what war it is, I don't care what...

I use the 1.2 patch still - I've enabled the SM30 stuff in the game and I'm using a SP/1 w/DX9.0c (I haven't downloaded the SP/2 thing yet) and I'm using the 62:11 driver. I have zero problems with the FPS and image of FarCry... eVGA 6800GT at stock Asus Dlx nForce2 3000+ (@200x11) Windows...

I think you guys are being too conservative, in this card series (both companies) the new cards are nearly twice as fast as the previous generation so I think something new will happen. The 9800XT and the 5950U should both be at or less than $200 on July first. If they are not, they will be...

Did you actually read the quote you posted? You seem to be reading between the lines so much that you forgot to actually read the lines themselves.

Thank you Merlin, I was starting to think I was crzy with all this talk about people arguing over being able to (or not being able to) see the diffence between PS2.0 and PS3.0 stuff. My understanding for the reasoning behind PS3.0 way back when, was that you wouldn't be able to see the...

Marklar...

That's not proof of anything - it doesn't show the resolution: I can get scores in the 11,000 range now without even overclocking by lowering the resolution to its lowest setting and forcing the lowest mip-map level... On the other hand, it could very well be a real score, but my point is...

I noticed this as well, however, I don't know if they are doing it because they have to or because they want to - I kind of like the effect- because the LCD screens are naturally too bright for my eyes so the duller textures make it better for me, and then, with a CRT screen, I compensate easily...

Even if they used overstocked 9700Pro chips, a four-chip solution with 512MBs of DDR3 RAM would cost how much to produce? And therefore "how" much at retail for the end user? So, a $500 newly designed card from NVIDIA or a $1,200 R500 ATI card? And likely to be a card with no driver support...

Actually, that was the 56:64 driver, the 56:72 just came out today - plus, in regards to that mouse lag thing, it seems that the people that were having that problem had Ti4200 or Ti4400 cards and a Creative Labs sound card (live5.1 or audigy etc.,). I don't have any idea if it's been fixed...

I downloaded the english version, it is not WHQL certified yet, it is marked 3/24/04... However, everything seems fine so far - with x2x4 vsynch off and options on quality - I gained a minscule amount in Aquamark3 and mark03 over the 56:64 driver - otherwise, I've got nothing to report...

http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_56.72 I can't believe that I'm the first one around here that noticed, where are the other posts? Issues Resolved in Version 56.72 Significant issues resolved in driver version 56.72 are listed below: • GeForce FX 5200/FX5900/FX5950 Ultra, Windows...

A compaq? You're going to let Compaq build your AMD64 system? Okay, I'll help you out, but this isn't going to be easy... The Compaq version of the AMD64 3400 is in their 8000 series computers, the mobo in it is a compaq made nForce3 150 .... and I think they actually offer their own 5950U...

After days of looking, found this one.... http://www.chaintechusa.com/tw/eng/product_spec.asp?MPSNo=13&PISNo=266

Well then, that's not much help now is it?!?! On the other hand, at least its a response and that has to count for something :D So I thank you. lol Plus, I'll fix it now :)

Anandtech is testing the references design, and says things like we'll see them in a couple of weeks, but which companies are making them and when are they supposed to become available? I can't find anything at the tradition sites - nothing about release dates and/or features etc., not even...

About six months ago I stated my suspicions in this forum (first forming ideas that I couldn't substantiate yet) that the cards behave differently depending on what type of system you put them into - and I was dismissed out of hand, insulted and/or laughed at for my naiveté etc., however, good...

$2400 with sound then? :D

Okay, fine, with all the rumors about hardware to be released next month, and assuming that they do half the things they claim to be able to do, how much money am I going to need on June 1st to build a 939 pin 64 bit computer with a nv40 or R420 (depending on which one is actually released and...

No! Don't destroy the Inquirer! Without it, and others like it such as Weekly World News tabloids, how else would I be able to follow the adventures of Bat-Boy? How would I know that Saddam and Osama spent Christmas together wearing santa hats while playing FarCry on their stolen gf40 and 420...

You might need to reinstall your driver, I'm not sure. However, I can play BF with any amount of AF as I want, without effecting the text, but if I try anything more that x2 AA the text becomes more and more unreadable. I think it's all the AA, nothing to do with AF as far as I can tell on my...

CGA (four color) Epson II 8086 with 8mhz turbo speed - to svga 16,000,000 color with 4mbs of video dedicated RAM... Okay, so I'm old : )

I don't know about dropping FPS with the 56:56, I don't see a drop, but I'm not seeing an increase either. However, the 56:56 WHQL driver is MUCH better than any other driver I've ever used. This is not a driver for benchmarking madness, this is a driver for game players. Anyone that says...
