    finally my gf3 ti200 11k for 3dmark2k1

    Amen! I loved my GF3 Ti 200. I don't really know why.... I guess b/c it was the first with VS and PS so the graphics were much improved. I have upgraded to a R9500 pro fairly recently to replace the old card. I like the new one but I still get that warm fuzzy feeling when I think back the the...

    Speaker sound on shutdown

    Ok, so i've kinda asked this question before but I didn't get a great answer. When I shut down my computer with my speakers on there is a relatively loud noise that comes through my speakers. It sounds kind of like a capacitor discharging (like on a camera flash). I think it's relatively normal...

    Quick xp1600+ o/c question

    I can't remember the week and stepping but i think it's something like.... 0224 or 22?

I know this ram will...

    Quick xp1600+ o/c question

    I know there is a thread about it already but I have a quick question about my AGOIA. I bought one of these 1600+ chips from newegg and have been testing it out. I unlocked it and have been trying to push it. I have a Soyo Dragon+ board with a top multi of 12.5. My chip works great at 1.6 ghz...

    What upgrades would you guys recommend for xmas? Specs inside..

    First of all do you want to "upgrade" or start all over? If you want to upgrade then: Ditch the processor.... I don't know for sure what your board will do but I would get the fastest AXP you can get. (Probably up to 2100+) It won't give you a HUGE upgrade but noticeable especially in 3d games...

    unlocked and trouble with warm reboot?

    Thanks for the adice but I must not have been clear. The problem isn't stability. The problem comes when I go to reboot. It doesn't post (i.e. beep) on a restart. If I then shut off the power then it will run all day long..... I'm just looking for a fix for this. Thanks again!

    unlocked and trouble with warm reboot?

    Hey guys! I have a agoia (or whatever) 1600+ and have unlocked it. I love this chip! It absolutely flies on my board. The problem is that sometimes it doesn't post when I do a warm reboot. Any ideas what might cause this? I don't have any problems with a cold boot but if I restart windows it...

    Strange sound on shut down, Please help!

    This is a recent thing that I've noticed and don't know wheter I should worry or not. My computer makes a funny discharge kind of noise when I shut it down. It comes through the speakers and sounds like the capacitor in a camera flash that discharges really quickly when the power instantly cuts...

    Any other GF3 owners feeling screwed?

    Well my sys isn't killer anymore but I don't consider it underpowered by any means. xp1600@xp1800 512mb DDR Gainward ti200 @ 200/450 I've pushed my card up to 230/500 but don't see enough gain in speed to justify the extra wear and tear. I first noticed in GTA 3 but I've read that it's mostly...

    Any other GF3 owners feeling screwed?

    Ha ha You guys must have a lot more money that I do! I won't be able to get a new video card for atleast 6 months. I still love my GF3 but I'm having GF4 envy! I just need a few more FPS! IMO I wouldn't recommend going from our GF3 to a 4200! They aren't that expensive right now but they...

    Any other GF3 owners feeling screwed?

    I know that it's the name of the game in the pc industry but I can't believe that this card is dead already! I have had it since January (which is a while I know) and It would run anything then smooth as glass but now..... I have recently tried Unreal Tournament 2003, NOLF2, and own GTA3 all of...

    Stupid Gainward bios!

    Hey guys I downloaded the newest version of the ti 200 gainward bios lastnight and when I flashed it it limits your overclocking! It sets the default speed to 175 core and 450 mem but only lets you go up to 220 core! Can anyone tell me an advantage of this new bios or give me the old one? The...
