Has anyone ran into this? I recently ran into an issue, forcing me to goto x86 Vista, from x64.. I install the nvidia software and reboot and this is the case.. I've also tried the default vista drivers.. I'm not sure what could be going on, as it was fine in x64 vista (odd that it has issues...

HD3850 AGP announced: http://vr-zone.com/articles/Sapphire_Released_HD_3850_AGP_Card/5479.html For anyone interested. By far and large it will be the fastest AGP card ever made, when it goes on sale. -- "War is the continuation of politics by other means. It can therefore be said that politics...

http://en.expreview.com/?p=160 Very interesting card, especially with the oddball 192-bit memory interface. Performs ~30% worse than 8800GT 512MB at high res with AA. Would be interesting to see how this competes against the HD3850 512MB. The board vendor calls the 8800GS series the "GF8-era...

Hi All Am looking at new motherboards and am interested to know if it is worth getting a SLI motherboard. Are they basically good for gaming only or are they benificial for 3D applications also? Thinking over getting an Intel chip set over a nVidia chipset.

Hi, I still use my 11 year old Dell 17" CRT monitor for gaming. I was thinking about getting a new 22" monitor. If I am gaming at 1180 or 1024 is there any point in getting a bigger monitor? Or am I wasting my money? Thanks

I have an nVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 card that came with a computer I got off eBay. No problems with the card, but I happened to discover that the driver CD is damaged. I went to the nVidia site and downloaded XP drivers for it. But the name on the driver CD is Xelo, not nVIDIA. I found there is a...

When not using the nVidia 7950 for gameplay, the second GPU on the card just draws power and gives no benefit. Is there a way to shut it down or at least minimize its power draw in such cases? -- Will

In the GEForce 7 family, the 7950 was an interesting card because it combined two GPUs connected by SLI directly onto a single card. Is there a similar product for the GEForce 8 family? Is such a card planned or announced? -- Will

I am having a problem with a scrambled display in Vista. Here's what's happening: If the computer has been idle long enough for the display to go into standby mode, once it is reawakened, everything seems normal. That is, until you do something that requires UAC, or a 3D game. When the UAC...

Hi all quick question: which card would be better in my partner's p4 2.8ghz out of a ti4200 or a 5200? I know the 5200's got a bad rep but it is newer and supports dx9... any thoughts gratefully received

I have a 3d (edimensional) system for my computer. I am using an FX 5500 card. I had this all working two years ago then I upgraded to XPpro and after several system crashes later decided I wanted to reinstall my 3d for gaming. I am using driver 162.50 forceware and 162.50 stereo. I can't...

I just installed a 6200LE and Rivatune 2.06 (latest versions I could find) says that it has no data for my drivers and I need to update Rivatune. Anyone know of a later version? Ten minutes into my game Rivatune claims the core temperature is 100 C. Is that normal for this card? The heatsink...

I just saw the first 5 minutes of AvP-R. Seems very scary. It's not playing near a local scenema near me (?) Anyway the soundtrack seems to be pretty cool and suiting. I wonder if the scenema's made a major mistake. Because if the movie is as good as the soundtrack, then WOW.

Okay, that's an exaggeration, but I'm VERY disappointed in the performance of my recent modestly priced upgrade. I went from an Abit Socket A system to an Asus Socket 939 A8N-SLI with PNY Verto 7900GS video because I wanted to play LAST YEARS games, let alone the latest, with decent speed at 1280 X...
