Well it hasn't locked up at all today so far and I've minimized a bunch of check. So why would the animation cause it to lock?

Sometimes when I minimize programs windows will sort of freeze, music will keep playing, but it won't advance to the next track and it doesn't respond to keyboard commands and the mouse curser will continue to move unless I start clicking and then it stops and beeps at me once and I can ping it...

If you want to argue dual gpu configs even a 1800XT is much faster than a gtx 512MB with super aa since SLI antialiasing was just something to try to piss on ati's parade, lucky for ati their 1800/1900 composite chip does superb super aa so there's simply no comparison between the two. With...

Unfortunately my dad got me a 500W allied PSU which is not only a single 12V rail but lacking pci-express power connector despite having a 20+4 pin power connector and SATA power connectors (atx specs? who needs em...) So far so good, but the 12V rating is erm... 20 amps to my noisetakers 29...

3200+ winchester, 1 evga 7800GT (stock clocks at 445/1070), msi neo4-f, 3 hdds and 1 dvd writer. I ask because I'm having stability issues with a 420watt atx 1.3 noisetaker and enermax wants me to get a new psu (put a ticket thing on website describing my problem) as does corsair since 1...

Somehow I got a winchester a few days at a brick and mortor store even though they're selling athlon64s by their core- venice or sandiego www.mypcparts.com I just send an email about it since I figured I was purchasing a venice core cpu.. So if I can't get them to give me an exchange it for a...

Stock I idle are like 45C. The other day I checked the temp of the pipes and noticed the bottom pipes are much cooler than the top pipes. Should I try mounting it without a shim to see what it does to my temps?

Ati needs higher clock speeds? More like the chips are designed differently. The R420 and all chips based on that are huge on vertex shader speed, while the NV40, and chip based on that are huge on pixel shader speeds. I think anyone with a brain could figure that one out after looking at...

the 6800GT is usally less and performs around the same. However some people swear they won't use a 6800GT or 6800 ultra after using an X800 pro or XT.

6800. 12 pipes/ 256 memory bus.

Shuttle pcs have beefier PSU that your average PSU of similar rating. It has 16 amps on the 12V, don't worry about it. http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/shuttle_sn95g5_review/page2.asp

Where have you seen that?

Uh what? The X850 SHOULD be out there since the point is to get cards out there, which they are doing. The X850 *PRO* is the only card that should cease to exist since it's outperformed by the cheaper X800XL is virtually all cases. The X800XL is nothing like an underclocked X800XT since it's...

Not really. The higher clocks speeds of the X800XT/PE help it produce frame rates so similar to an ultra that saying an ultra pwns it is just you being a !!!!!!.

Fixed.

Do these have the problem with overlay saturation going to 0% when you start playing movies? I had to upgrade fromthe 67.03 to fix nascar simracing, and I've tried two 71.XX drivers, and 1 65.XX drivers, and all of them has that problem. :( :mad:

:lol: That's funny. Don't even goto the nvidia section, go right to www.nvnews.net Btw, you don't think your an nvidia fanbo1?

Ati from a business standpoint is fine. They're rollin on the dough. Don't even compare ati to 3dfx :rolleyes:

QFT 15 fps is destroying. If it wasn't, everyone wouln't tell you to get nvidia cards for doom 3:lol:

Innovative != slow. There is nothing positive about the FX, except perhaps people seeing that ati can wup on nvidia.

Old fucking news. I dont care if ati lied about filterting, there optimized filtering looks better than nvidias, and thats all I care about. That's a rather broad statement. Maybe in dark games, but in bright games you still need AA. 8Xs also happens to be slow as molassas, and makes games...

Um, no thanks. I dont cares what some article says, I can look at benchmarks and see how shitty the card is. What's the point of being able to run more instructions if you can't even run the standard ammount with any kind of speed? Linking to articles about the FX is focking pointless, it...

QFT. I call bullshit. Even with a new language, you can't get floating point precision performance from no where. So stop being an nvidia whore, OGL of DX9, FX is a flop, no language is going to magically up the FP performance. The FX seems to designed as a dx8.1 video card with DX9 as an...

Thats a load of bullshit . Simple? Throw SM2 code at a focking 9600 pro*purposely midrange card against a highend card*, and an 5900, and tell me which one is faster? And don't tell me about quality, since the 5900 is going to have to run FP16 for decent performance, and FP24 shows no...

System is a 6600GT agp, win2k3 with the proper workstation tweaks. Whenever I open a video, it resets the satation to about nothing. Is that just a driver problem, is is there some setting (in driver or the registry) that can fix them? Previous drivers were 67.03, but they dont work in nascar...

It can have huge gains in the future. There's some program that shows video ram suage, and HL2 was using 222MB- and HL2 doesn't even look that good, imagine with high res textures and such!

9800 pro doesn't do bad in CS:S http://techreport.com/reviews/2004q4/geforce-6600gtagp/index.x?pg=7 or far cry http://techreport.com/reviews/2004q4/geforce-6600gtagp/index.x?pg=9 or even 3dmark 05. Its really only doom 3 that it gets owned, But as you can see, the 6800 is really what you...

:lol: I see you have raised the bar for how much bullshit can be packed in one post. 3dmark 05 doesn't agree with the 6800U kicking it all over:p Neither does far cry, or any other benchmark. Can I quote you in the years to come when the X850 is still faster than the 6800 ultra? Nvidia...

Um.. unless it's getting artifacts it's fine. Video cards can run 70-80C i.e 158F to 186F and be A ok.

There's 6800s all over the place. You aren't actually looking for NU's are you, cuz NU is just a nick name for it, for some reason. I'd opt for an X800 pro if you can reach that far. I know the 6800GT is faster, but the quality isn't the same, and that's from someone with a 6600GT.

I'd stick with the 9800 pro, and get an X800 pro when it gets cheap I've got a 6600GT, and I play a few games that nvidia cards have trouble anti aliasing properly, and/or filterting, and seeing shots of X800 cards(same FSAA anyway) they look alot better. It's in the distance where jaggies...

I figured out the problem: for some reason when I uninstalled+ driver cleaned and rebooted, hardware accell was completely disabled. Oh well, the 71.81 are working for me. Also it got rid of the grainy look to nascar simracing. Now I just need to get good at it- those people who say nascar's...

700? I bet this card will be 800+

Gonna test em on my 6600GT agp, since I have a crashing problem with nascar simracing, and blue scren sys nv_disp. Didnt get blue screen before, guess problem isn't as bad, cuz before it just reset. oh well. edit- these drivers don't install right- install goes fine, but the driver doesn't...

6800? They bough the 5XXX series like a year ago or something.

Nvidia had had plenty of time to hack the shaders up to speed them up. just nvidia isn't as strong in HL2. Didn't valve basically have an auction, and ati won it?

QFT SLI is, and always will be an empty promise. Some things just can't be doubled with SLI, its not like voodoo 2 people, much more complex things here.

It did look bad since it wasn't doing anything special for effects. It looked like quake 3 or something right? http://anandtech.com/video/showdoc.aspx?i=2281&p=9

Valve aren't crippling nvidia cards as you say, using 3danalize to change nvidia cards to ati ones gains you like 3 fps. the 5200 is just a pos, it's that simple. Isn't it a 2 pipe card? I forgot how crappy the 5200 was :o

The total invensment is as I said, you you forgot about the PSU, again. I am right, admit it :rolleyes: You're still paying for the card you get down the road. And also, SLI can't work in every game, it's the nature of it. It doesn't accerate openexl hdr, it doesn't accerate NFU2, what's...
