I've got a video card that Windows identifies as an NVIDIA GeForce 2 MX, the owner's manual says it's a G2Pro Plus-T64D, GeForce 2 Pro 64MB DDR TV-Out (MS-8831 by MicroStar). I guess I'm assuming from the 64's scattered around the cover of the owner's manual that this card should have 64MB of...

I recently upgraded from a rock steady GeForce2 MX to a GeForce4 Ti 4200. I now experience random lockups ONLY when using games that are relatively new. For example, the original Unreal Tournament is stable, whilst UT2003 rarely lasts more than 5 seconds before crashing out. The crash takes the...

Hi there, I am fitting a Zalman ZM80D-HP 'noiseless VGA cooler' to a Gainward 960/Ultra graphics card. I guess as there are no RAM chips on the back of the card that I do not need to use the rear RAM heatsinks, but is it better to remove the Gainward front RAM heatsinks and replace them with the...

Hey guys, I've been looking around for a new video card to throw into my system and I think I've decided on the agp version of the 6600GT. But i'm not sure which brand buy. I'm looking for a card that has great performance (either stock or has room to overclock). brand name doesn't really matter...

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys would be able to help me pick a new video card, i'm pretty sure i want one of the nvidia 6800 cards but i'm not to sure as to which. I have 2 systems i'm going to be upgrading and they are identical: Athlon 3200+ oc'ed to 212mhz fsb 1GB 2.5CL ddr pc3200...

I recently upgraded from a GForce 3 card to a Chaintech FX 5600 A-FX60 card with 44.03 drivers, now the instrument panels in FS2004 will not show there is just a black area where they were. I have tried every thing to get them to show but to no avail, the virtual 3D cockpit works OK. I have...

when attempting to run X with the above i get the following error kernel: 0: NVRM: isr request failed 0xfffffff0 i am using mandrake linux 10 download edition, and had no problems with installation of the driver, just theres a strange error from somewhere

I'd appreciate your advice regarding graphics card performance. My previous card was a GeForce4 TI 4200 it did what it did and I didn't worry too much about FPS etc. A few months ago I decided to build a new system, a system that hopefully would be a great game rig. The specs. are as follows: P4...

I was hoping to try out the Nalu demo on my 5950 Ultra but can't seem to locate it on the Nvidia site. Tried enabling all active content in both my browser(FireFox) and firewall but nada. All I'm seeing is a wallpaper download. Anyone else been able to acquire the demo? TIA

Hi, I was trying to install the newest driver under Suse 8.2 and the install is complaining about a mismatched gcc between the kernel compile and the current version, when I do as the README suggest and cat /proc/version and gcc -v I come up with the same version. So, how do I set...

I assume that the 5600 is better than the 5200, but in my local stores the 5200 Ultra seems to be priced the same as or a little more than the 5600 Ultra? Is there any logic behind this? I am purchasing on to use in a Linux machine, any recommendations on which one to go with? Thanks, Chris

Hi, I was looking in the store today and the 5200 ultra is just a little more than a gf4 440 - for Linux which would be the best card to buy? Chris

this is driving me crazy - i have a Asus a7n266-vm motherboard and recently purchased a 5700 ultra and they do not seem to work together. i had a 5200U & 5600U that worked fine with this motherboard, but the 5700U locks the system up upon boot. i have wiped the drive and reinstalled XP 2 times,...

Hi there, I'm using a 32MB PCI GeForce2 MX200 in a linux box currently. It plays Unreal Tournament comfortably at up to 1024*768, but Unreal Tournament 2003 price has just dropped very significantly at the local game shop. Without a major interior overhaul (ie... new mobo -with- AGP) I'm limited...
