advice required about updating video card by
thewalls
Just wondering what speed increase I would possibly get from trading my gf4
Ti 4600 for a gf4 fx 5900.
I have a athlon 1700 with 512 mb ram xp-pro os.
Or should I look at updating cpu and m/board?
Thanks,
Splat.

Need some advice please by
Atreju
I bought the eVGA e-GeForce FX 5200 Ultra.
Some questions:
Firstly, I've been getting the "Power indicator" warning from the
NVIDIA driver. Every time I boot the computer it warns me that the
card isn't receiving enough power.
Now, I have an Antec 380W TruePower unit in my computer. I did hook...

MSI 5900 Ultra (256mb) v Creative v Gainward? by
John M
After 3 weeks of system lock-ups, re-boots etc I've returned the crap
9800 pro I bought at Xmas for a full refund. Have been using Nvidia
for years now, with no problems, thought I'd give ATI a chance. Bad
mistake, now corrected!
Anyway, sorry about the OT rant, just had to vent it! So, I'm...

I've joined the ATI gang... by
Bobby
I've just purchased an ATI Radeon 9600 Pro card - which is a pity since I
liked nVidia cards. Good drivers and rock solid performance.
I wanted to upgrade my FX5200 card (I gave it to my daughter to speed up her
PC - which it has done) and originally bought an "FX5600". In fact, it was

For anyone unhappy with noise form their Leadtek (or other) GeForce... by
Nick (no dashes)
Get the Zalman ZM80C-HP.
I have the Leadtek A350 GeForceFX 5900 Ultra and was just fed up with
the noise. I have pretty top end PC, with Antec case, Antec PSU, Zalman
CPU cooler and case fans. All silent except the incredibly whiney, rough

5700 ultra a dud by
Brad
I have bought seven nvidia based cards. I recently purchased a 5700 Ultra.
What a mistake that was. My old Geforce 3 ti 200 beats it in every game
test that I have. The Geforce 4200 that I have beats the 5700 Ultra by
about 25 to 40 percent in frames per second. I swallowed my pride and
bought...

Hi people,
I used to own a Geforce 4MX board and replaced it by a Geforce 4Ti.
However, now some games crash and return to windows (crazy taxi 3, war

Built a New Abit System :-) by

Well, I'm smiling, but it wasn't really the best time to build a new core. My
old Abit KT7A-RAID is dead. sigh Me and that old board had some good times
together. But now I've laid it to rest. :-(
Financially I wasn't really prepared for this. But here's a comparison:

Advice - to upgrade or not by
--Jerry--
If you have any GF4 card you do not need to upgrade your graphic card for
next 3-6 months and then a new GPU must appear. All games are running OK on
full GF4 cards (NOT MX!!!). I tested Radeon R9700 and FX 5900 and I did not
notice any improvement in speed in any applications. All that was...
