    I7 930 stuck o/c

    They say there is no fool like an old fool!! A few weeks ago I installed a program from AVG called PC Tune-Up. It has an option to select from Economy, Standard or Turbo. I had selected Turbo which among other things like shutting down unnecessary programs had also adjusted the the power saving...

    I7 930 stuck o/c

    My I7 930@2.8GHz is overclocked to 4000 kHz. When not running a game it used to run at 2800kHz or thereabouts. Latterly it is always running at the o/c speed which does not seem to be causing any problems but it is obviously running hotter and presumably using more juice. I have not touched...

    OpenGL

    Prior to this GPU I had a GF7800GTX which ran all games OK. I changed to the current card to obtain better performance and support for a new 22" lcd monitor. I didn't run a driver cleaner because I read somewhere on this site that the current nVidia installer for the newer drivers...

    OpenGL

    Since installing a BFG GF9600GT card I have been unable to get any OpenGL games to run. These are not just older games but some more recent ones. I defrag daily (in the background) and always have the latest nVidia WHQL drivers installed. All games and applications running DirectX run very...

    OpenGL problem

    Thanks for your response. I have done as you suggested and have updated the drivers to 175.19. I have not made any adjustments to any settings either in the control panel or in ntune as I guess you may perhaps wish to offer further advice! However the changes thus far have made no differences...

    OpenGL problem

    Hi guys I have a GF9600GT card which performs very well on DirectX games but seems to have problems with OpenGL games. I sometimes cannot even load them or if I can they run at 1fps! I have the latest drivers 174.74 installed. Are there any known problems with this card and OGL? All the OGL...
