Hey all, I been a long time NVIDIA user but decided to try out an ATI crossfire system this time around. Only problem is, I am getting confused by all the numbers and XT's and XTX's and crossfire edition/crossfire ready.
If a card is "crossfire ready" according to newegg, does that mean I...
HTT was and is still set at 4.
I went with a Thermaltake PS because it got reasonably good reviews. I wouldve gone with a more powerful powersupply but I did not relaly have any intention of overclocking when I first built the comp about 1.5 years ago.
The powersupply is acutally my...
I bought a new computer for the office. Everything works fine except the clock on the computer keeps pushing itself back 3 hours after I set the clock correctly. For example, I would set the clock at 12:00pm, and in 10 minutes, it would read 9:10AM.
This happens when u reset the computer...
i dont mind spending 50 bucks on a cooling solution if it will increase the power of the card substantially without making the whole computer sound like a helicopter. I'm pretty deaf, but I still have memories of the old 52x CD Roms that sounded like a vacuum cleaner.
I'm the type of guy...
well. tbh, i wouldnt mind using this unfortunate turn of events to start pushing my overclocking skills. I stopped my previous overclocking of this card because the stock heatsink just wouldnt let the card run stable at any faster speeds. Guess i'll start researching GFX heatsinks. Any...
well, it is functioning at 120c. entire polygons are blacked out or look like TV static, but it is functioning. I also get a cute msg from the card saying "warning, your card is reducing its performance to keep your temperature under 120C." Not that this reduction in performance really helped...
i normally would not be alarmed by such things, except my counterstrike FPS got cut in half from 100 to 50. Probably because these cards are made to slow down performance if it heats up over 120C.
hey all. I gotta 6800gt for 1.5 years now. just did a fresh format of my comp a week ago and noticed the GPU core temp (not overclocked) was running at 81C with an ambient of 59C while just web browsing. Figured maybe the gfx card was dusty so i cleaned it out. After cleaning, the GPU core temp...
As anyone who has ever bought 5.1 or even 7.1 speakers should know, placing the rear speakers in an optimal position is a pain. Does anyone know of any rear speaker mounts that will allow you to place any speaker system's rear speaker in optimal spots?
I remember a few years ago, Creative...
can anyone confirm 6800s having problems with dvd playback? at this point i do believe it is a video card problem. i reinstalled my vidcard drivers and it helped. i also turn the image settings in display properties to 'high quality' instead of 'high performance' and the static is almost all...
update:
i installed the drivers through device manager. it didnt help.
i noticed that when i turned off my second monitor, the static diminished by about 50%.
i also noticed that there is only the horizontal static when the dvd is being played at full screen or nearly full screen...
hey i was wondering if anyone might know wut could be wrong. i just got a new dell 20.1 inch ultrasharp LCD and it works perfectly except when playing back widescreen dvds, there is horizontal flickering (resembling static) all over the screen. it only happens on dvd playback and never while...
These are my system specs:
AMD 3500+
MSI Neo2 Plat
6800GT eVGA
1gig ddr400 pc3200 ram
wd HD 74gig raptor
Thermaltake 480w ps
Thermaltake tsunami dream case.
Just wondering if anyone has any idea what a safe voltage would be for overclocking both the CPU and the AGP. I believe the...
