Hi all, My father bought an ATI 9200 graphics card, & it ran crappy in Linux. So I let him try my GF3 Ti200 and it ran great in Linux. So I finally went out and got a replacement card for my PC a FX 5700 w/256. For my GF3 I was running 30.82 drivers as I was told they were the last that were...

Trying to install a BFG GeForce 6600 GT OC AGP into my Dell Precision 530. It has twin 1.8ghz Xeons with 1MB main memory and a 460w power supply running a raid card with two hard drives plus a standby hard drive. When I turn the computer on, nothing happens and the monitor goes into standby. My...

I built a system using the Epox 8RGA+ motherboard that has the onboard GeForce4 MX graphics chip. After installing WinXP Professional and reloading all my apps I found that during screen changes in Links 2003 it would take almost a minute sometimes to switch to the next screen during game play....

I am building a new system with the Epox 8RGA+, AMD XP 2500+ w/Barton Core, 512 MB 3200 DDR ram (2 - 256MB sticks which will give me the dual channel feature) . I have a two year old 64MB ASUS GeForce 3 that I have loved since it's install. My question is: Would I get better performance assigning...

Hi, I know this comes up regularly, but I've read back over the last year's posts here, and still need some help. I'm currently running a 128Mb XFX Geforce 6800XT with a P4 3.0GHz and 2gb ram. My monitor is a Viewsonic 19" widescreen with a native resolution of 1440x900. I'm looking to...

Can anyone point me to a good place to find one of these in the UK? A PC mag recently stated that they'd dropped to £191, making it too tempting for me, but I can't actually find one for sale at any price! Any leads much appreciated. Cheers Rick.

Having long been a devotee of Nvidia I'm about to jump ship from a 4200 and install the HIS IceQ 9800 Pro. Once I reset to standard VGA etc, what drivers would you recommend using - those out of the box or from another source? If another source, can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks...

Hi - I'd really welcome some upgrade advice from people who know. Current system is a dual core E6750 with 2gb RAM and an nVidia 8800GT (320mb version.) I'm looking at upgrading on a relatively modest budget but am not sure whether to update the video card or the processor. The machine is...

I have a new monitor, and graphics card. Both have DVI-i and VGA connections. Can someone tell me the advantages of one over the other? The monitor is an HP 1755 Flat Panel, the graphics card is an nVidia 6600GT 128 AGP. Os is linux, kernel 2.6.10 with Xorg 6.8.2. Thanks, RickKnight

We're trying to nail down our decision for an AGP video upgrade. According to specs the ATI X850XT PE doesn't support SM3.0. How important is this for games like Far Cry and Half-Life2? Does SM3.0 make a substantial image quality difference? The question is horribly subjective but I'd still...

As per subject. Looking to upgrade a Radeon 9700 Pro on a 3.8GHz AGP system. Does (or did) Nvidia make a controller for AGP that's as fast as ATI's X850 XL?

I'm in the market for a high-end AGP card, and I'm confused by results posted in the various 3DMark databases. First I searched 3DMark2001SE, sorted by performance rating, to get a feel for DX7 and 8 performance, and ATI's X850XL PE is close to the top of the list, among other cards such as...

Hello all: Asus released a BIOS update (1802) for this board in March that actually works with a Phenom processor. Just to let you know mine is up and running with a B2 Phenom 9600. It appears to have fixed my SLI (horrors) problems as well, so good luck. System: M2N32 SLI Deluxe, 2ea Asus...

Hi All, I just received my EVGA nvidia 6800 ultra. I've just installed the latest drivers from nvidia. When I boot back into windows, there is a large amount of "snow" on the screen, so it appears that the screen is breaking up. Anyone have any ideas why this could be happening. I haven't done...

Has anyone went from an single 6600GT to an SLI config? How much more performace did you gain? Thank you Rick

I currently have an BFG6600, but my wife bought me an ATI 800XL for christmas. Would I get better performance by taking the ATI back in exchange for another 6600 and go SLI? Thanks Rick

I have a Samung 26 inch wide screen LCD on my PC but I cannot get games to play in anything other than 800x600. Is there a way I could force the monitor into a more standard screen rez without damaging the monitor? 1360x768 is the only screen rez I see as the default for this monitor. Games do not...
