    Can you trust ATITOOL anymore?

    Hi, as the topic states, I get artifacts with any of the new versions of atitool within about 10 secs. The card doesnt even have a chance to get up to 70c in that time, the highest I've ever seen it is 73c after playing crysis for a couple hours. Now, is atitool actually going to support...

    Maybe my wife is the only one...

    Since no one's suggested this: Women know that men need to feel useful, so we ask them to do things. If we just do everything ourselves then they feel unneeded. (I'm female-Kypron's fiancee)

    Smash TV

    Never heard of Smash TV for the pc. I used to play that in the arcade about 14 years ago though. The closest thing is probably Alien Shooter Vengeance - I just bought it off of steam for 10 bucks, is really similiar in concept.

    Getting artifacts in games but it's not my video card!!

    Under my nvidia control panel, I left everything on defaults, which has the image quality on "quality". I have been careful not to force things like anis or antialiasing in the control panel as well. I agree that it doesn't quite make sense that I am still getting these problems, I hope it isn't...

    Getting artifacts in games but it's not my video card!!

    Hi, I have been having problems with minor artifacting in most games for a few months. The artifacts are always the same (seams showing, certain squares of texture on a wall flickering wildly, shadows flickering with polygons). I get these problems in: Assassins Creed, Medal of Honour Airborne...

    Can't overclock core2duo 6600 even 100mhz!!

    These sticks are all rated at 1.8v. Is it harmful to go above this? I know a lot of high end memory is rated for 2.0 v and above, but these sticks are cheap samsung. I should note, as well, that 2 sticks are slightly different than the other two sticks. All are 667 and samsung, but 2 of them I...

    Can't overclock core2duo 6600 even 100mhz!!

    Ok, I've figured out that it is indeed the ram that is the culprit. If I change it to 667 5-5-5-15 with no overclocking, the system hangs at the splash screen. I had to remove two sticks to get it into the bios, and lower it to 533. Looks like I'm out of luck for oc'ing this time around.

    Can't overclock core2duo 6600 even 100mhz!!

    Hmm, I'm not sure how to put a screenshot up. But it says under SPD tab all four sticks show as 1024mb ddr2-667 at 533 4-4-4-12 1.8v, at 667 5-5-5-15 1.8v under Memory Tab ddr2 - 4096 mb in dual channel symmetric 266.9 1:1 ratio 5-5-5-15 2T other info is greyed out...

    Can't overclock core2duo 6600 even 100mhz!!

    Hi, yes I have tested out memtest 86+ 2.1, and everything checks out ok for 10+ hours. I just tried to OC again but I manually set the cpu voltage to 1.25, and raising the bus from 266 to 276 causes immediate errors.

    Can't overclock core2duo 6600 even 100mhz!!

    Hi, I have never really bothered with overclocking before, but this morning I got the urge to bump up my core 2 duo 6600 from 2.4 to maybe about 2.7 ghz. Within the first 100 mhz overclock, though, orthos failed immediately! So I clocked it back down. I am running the newest 0803 bios with...

    Graphical problems with 8800 GT

    Hi, I have been having some troubles with certain games displaying strange shadows (flickering, pixellated, moving strangely), certain textures in a squarish area flickering quite noticeably, and also a very thin white line can appear in corners of buildings. Titans Quest, Medal of Honor...

    8800 GT give nv4 display driver infinite loop error

    Hi, I have owned the Asus 8800 gt 512mb (stock) in my sig for a month. It has played games great, except for a few artifacts in games I have attributed to crappy drivers. Yesterday, I was playing Titans Quest Immortal Throne, and everything hitched. The graphics went all weird for a minute...

    It's all so... confusing.

    You certainly don't need 3000 bucks to do something with that system. Since I don't know what country you're ordering parts from, I can't link to anything. But in my opinion.... Keep your Geforce 8800 GTX, 30" monitor, powersupply, sound card, and hard drives. Get either: 1. Intel Core 2...

    Second NWN2 Expansion coming

    I agree with you sirjonk. I ranted about the annoyances of this game on another post a few months ago. You forgot to mention how Okku the bear god always gets stuck on corners and blocks doorways with his fat ass as you are trying to run from a group of liches that like to continually teleport...

    Brand New Build for Gaming

    Unfortunately, my buddy needs to buy this stuff from a local store because his company is going to cut him a check after he gets a quote, they won't do this for an internet based sale, so yeah, it is more expensive but he gets to pay it back over a few years (with no interest) I am editing...
