So there's still the possibility that the video processor could work? Here's hopin'.

So does this mean that Nvidia is full of it? Because the 66.93's did nothing for Step Into Liquid.

Still no confirmation on anything?

Wow, Anand posted an article on DVD burners at the perfect time for me. Looks like I'll be going for the NEC 3500A. I still can't believe how cheap DVD burners have become so quickly. That's basically a top of the line burner and it'll only set me back $96.99 CDN. Very nice.

Really? I know it's not like the Ultra which requires two slots and two molex connectors, but I though I had heard that even the NU eats up a fair bit more power than previous gen cards (ie. te 9800Pro). It's good to know that it won't fry when I install the HD and DVDRW. Speaking of...

PC Gamer UK gave it a 96%. Regular PC Gamer gave it an even better score - 98%. That's a tie for the highest score they've ever given out (the other being to Alpha Centauri).

I've got a 380 Watt Antec TruePower (comes with the Sonata) powering the the system you see in my sig. In the very near future I'm planning on throwing in a 2nd hard drive (200 gig IDE, either WD or Seagate depending on what's cheaper at the time) as well as an inexpensive dual layer DVD...

I got the impression that the DVD decoder should function now, while some of the other features will only function once the new drivers are released in late November. Are you sure that's not the case?

Wait a second, WinDVD should be able to make use of the card's hardware decoder for DVD movies? Then why does my CPU generally range from about 13% to 35% when playing dvd movies while the GPU temperature doesn't seem to increase at all?

I've emailed Leadtek a few times now and they keep telling me that my problem most likely lies in the software I'm using. They claim that Windows Media Player doesn't support hardware decoding of any kind and that I should contact Microsoft. Is that complete garbage, or what?

I have the exact same problem as you do. Very similar system (same GPU and power supply, almost the same CPU) and I get those same blotches in the firefly test. I I also get similar problems at the start of the CPU tests. I'm hoping that it's just the 61.77's and that an official new...

I also get artifacts in the second GPU test, as well as at the beginning of the CPU tests.

Don't the 66.70's have problems with certain games? Because I thought I heard something about them not working with Tribes: Vengeance and UT2K4, for example.
