http://www.omegacorner.com/ Intimidation over innovation? Good one, Nvidia. It's the beginning of the end. Time to wake up and see the writing on the wall (if it wasn't smeared by lowering the LOD settings in favor of better 3Dmark scores...) (waiting for the fanbois)

My PC sometimes crashes and I don't know so but I'm monitoring CPU and graph. card temperatures.. Do you know the exact good range of work for "NVIDIA GeForce 6200 LE" and if a high temp could block the PC as often happens to me? Thanks in advance, Mhaxx

Hi, I was trying to get my video card out and I broke a capacitor off. It is a MSI 6600gt card. I have been searching and I hate to get the wrong one. I have solder before on boards, replaced bad ones on an Abit board. Right now I am using an ATI card. I would like to get this card running again....

Just some FYI for anyone who is considering an 8800 purchase. I picked up an 8800GTS on an eVGA trade-up for my 7900GTO, since the trade-up window was going to close soon. First off, you can crank some unbelievable levels of AA and AF at high res on this thing. The Anandtech article was not...

I was very close to buying a 6600 GT last night, until a friend told me I'd need a 450W power supply. Since mine is only 305W, I'm wondering if what he says is true. And if this mid-range AGP card won't work with my power supply, what will? If it helps: I currently have a DVD-RW and DVD/CD-RW on...

Ok, so I have a couple Leadtek WinFast A280 LE AGP 8x VIVO 128MB GeForce ti4200's. I bought them for my machine and my girlfriends (back when I had one) and they cost over NZ$300 each new. They were a significant investment at the time, costing twice as much as the T'bredB Athlon XP CPUs they...

I have a question for the group to ponder.... My computer does not have an AGP slot (long story of miscommunications), so I am confined to PCI graphics..... (....No, I am not up for a new MB at this time) I have been looking for a new graphics card, and as far as I can tell, this is the best PCI...

new nVidea driver just released 56.72 http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp_2k_56.72

I write this at 7:42am - and i still havent gone to sleep yet. I've been spending hours tweaking this system in hopes of getting just that little bit more out of my system. After changing my Ram timings to 2-2-5-2, enabling 4-way bank interleaving and upping the pulse width to 8. Clocking the...

"Lecter" wrote in message ... They eat up two slots and are slower than ATI. The cost is similar, so why waste a slot. Most of the newer cards are back to one slot now.

I've recently upgraded my card to a 128meg model (NVIDIA GeForce FX5200). The system BIOS has an option to adjust the size of the "AGP aperture" on the setup page. Please can anyone advise what the default or appropriate settings for this may be - I have it set now to be 128Meg, on the...

Will be building new system (AMD XP2500+) and figure my old 3dfx V5500 needs to be replaced. After looking at 2,374 new video cards out there, I can't figure which is the best for price/performance. Estimated bankroll for the card is around $150.

Nvidia is still cheating in the latest drivers. Why why why haven't they learned yet? http://www.beyond3d.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8952 rms

Normally I throw caution to the wind like the Minster's wife at a pancake breakfast, but not when I'm working with hardware. Then, I am as cautious as a goldfish in a pirhana bowl. I expertly removed the stock heatsink and fan assembly from the 6800GT, it was cheap and ineffective. Worse, it was...

Does GF3 support custom resolution? Can you do it through nvidia's control panel? thanks I'm not sure what you mean by custom resolution. You can only use resolutions that your monitor supports. You can change the resolutions in the display panel, it will hide resolutions your monitor can not...

I've got a GeForce FX 5200 with 128 meg of memory. I can't get the agp texture acceleration to be other than not available. My motherboard is an asus P4C800 deluxe. with a 3.0gig P4 cpu. I'm running winME. I've updated the bios, i've added the intel driver update utility and updated all the...
