Also a PNY Verto 6800 from CompUSA. Was able to get 16p, 6v with no problems. FW 66.93 3DMark03: Out of the box: 8837 16p, 6v, no OC: 9637 16p, 6v @363/743: 10286 I got artifacts and eventually crashed trying 363/775. Much better than the 5194 I was getting with my...

Well, I think I got it sorted... For the benefit of others with a similar problem who may stumble across this thread in the future, here's what I did. There was a newer version of my motherboard BIOS on Soltek's Tawain server, which wasn't on the Europe server. (I'm now on W1.2) I had...

CPU temp is around 50*C... that should drop eventually, as I'm using Artic Silver Ceramique, and from what I've read, it takes a while to reach maximum thermal conductivity.

Sorry, DAPUNISHER, didn't see your post there... Don't know the temps on the video card, as I haven't seen them anywhere in the utilities. Do I need powerstrip or something similar? The 16A +12V is indeed from the Newegg photo. (I'm at work.) I'll check what the actual PSU says when I...

Well then, what card would you recommend. I didn't really want to spend too much, as I'm not a hardcore gamer... I just wanted to check out the current crop of games. The 5900xt already cost more than an Xbox or PS2. Yes, the graphics are a million times better on the PC.

My power supply is a 350W Antec. It came with my Antec case, SLK3700-BQE

Well, I installed the VIA 4-in-1 drivers, and a couple other sets of drivers which were on the Soltek CD. One thing I noticed... going into the NVidia control panel... it lists specs for the motherboard, GPU, OS, etc. Everything showed AGP 8x, but under the OS column, it said 2x. Seems...

Okay, that's good then... I was thinking I should be getting 20-30 FPS. So, I thought perhaps I had a crazy problem somewhere. But, now I have to figure out why my system keeps freezing.

So, I just put together an all-new system, and all seems to be well... except that my video card is _amazingly_ slow. Running 3DMark05, I only get a maximum of 5FPS. Mostly, it runs around 3. Then, about 30 seconds in, my computer freezes. When I try to run the Far Cry demo, the computer...

Thanks for the great thread guys! I've just put together a new system, and have been having freezing problems on my MSI 5900XT. It's driving me nuts! It freezes on the setup page for Far Cry demo.... I haven't even gotten to see any cool graphics. :( Ran 3Dmark05... ran at 3 FPS(!)...
