Guys, I have a NVIDIA GeForce FX 5900 XT, when I connect my PC to a Sony TV using S-Video cable, for some reason I don't get a good quality picture on my TV. Is this how it's suppose to be. I thought you should get a clear picture on the TV too. How do I achieve that. Anyways I have the latest...

In the BIOS/VESA mode of 720x400, the card is at a 69hz refresh rate (??) vs. standard of 70hz. At this resolution, the only compatable rate is 70hz. Thus, I cannot get into the system BIOS to check anything (due to a scrambled screen). Is there any updated BIOS that I can flash or if I connect a...

Ordered a MSI FX5900XT 128mb and received a ZT version, the spec. looks about the same, anybody know the difference between the two. Not an avid gamer but will it work OK with doom3 / hl2?

I'm considering buying this graphics card: http://www.gainward.net/products/product.php?products_id=48 Under System Requirements in the datasheet: http://www.gainward.de/media/files/Specifications/7876_Bliss7800GS+_AGP_DD_512MB_GS_datasheet.pdf "A minimum 400W system power supply and two unused...

I have an 8600GTS connected to a Samsung SM223BW via DVI and am having problems whereby Energy Star power saving seems not to activate reliably. If I set a screen saver to activate then the screen will quite often work but the monitor will occassionally not go in Energy saving mode. I have...

I keep reading posts referring to bottlenecks...such as "don't buy this card, with your system the bottleneck is your processor etc. so the benefit would be lost"...or something along those lines. So where is the bottleneck? Or, at what point does a vid card fall behind/jump ahead of the processor...

Upgrading from the gforce 4 MX 420, 64 MB that came with built in with my circa 2003 Dell. Pretty sure my AGP slot is only 4x, but am not 100% sure. (Easy way to tell?) Now we are ready to beef up the video without spending mucho bucks. Best buy currently has these two models for teh same $150...

Looks like BFG has entered the fray with a 6600 AGP of their own, though the only place I can find for purchase it is he http://www.chumbo.com/info.aspx?id=239864 At $249, basically same price point as XFX, but with BFG's Overclock "boost". Specs from http://www.bfgtech.com/6600GT.html

Can somebody please help me to install the retail version delivered today as all i get is the steam software loading and bringing up their webpage. I cannot get to the game files to load or even get to the reg page, I only want the single player mode. cheers

I connected two Samsung monitors using DVI cable to my PCI Express GeForce 6600 GT. When the system is starting up, both monitors display the same screens. Once started up, the second display disappears. I go to Display Properties and change to dual monitor mode (clone, dual view, etc.) and then...

I have a dual head nvidia 6800 PCI-E with a DVI and VGA out and was under the impression that I could have a dual monitor setup. My OS is win2k. I installed the default Nvidia drivers and software (control panel etc). My issue is that the monitor shows the startup splash screen for win2k but...

Yes, this WAS the case. But now Asus has launched the A8R-MVP. It has the Crossfire chipset, but now combined with the ULi M1575 southbridge!! Check it out he http://www.asus.com/products3.aspx?l1=3&l2=15&l3=236&slname=ATI%20Radeon%C2%AE%20Xpress%20200%20CrossFire%E2%84%A2 This...

Maybe Im being a total putz, but I cannot select resolution greater than 848x480 in chronicles of riddick. Its like they dont exist. Im not doing anything unusual, and all other games work just fine at 1600x1200. Does anyone know how I get higher resolutions? Thanks

So after some searching of dell forums and google, it looks like the GTO is basically a 6800 on roids. So the biggest difference I see is that there are 12 pixel pipelines instead of 16. Memory and memory speed is the same as far as I can tell. Anyone have any thoughts on how far cry or...

Does anyone know anything about this card? Google comes up pretty empty... How does it perform? Is is PCIe? Thanks, B

Anyone know if/when nVIDIA will make or ship these guys? Thanks
