    Second Gainward FX5700 Ultra Gold Series

    Hey all. Remember when i had to RMA my fx 5700u gold? Probablly not right? well i did. The original card would detect as a 256mb, when it was really a 128mb, and cause an instant crash when XP started to load up. My new card (5700u gold) has arrived, and i get a new problem with it! Once...

    Gainward FX 5700 ULTRA GOLD

    Ok, thanks, i will drop it off on my way out. Believe it or not, this is actually my first RMA, and i order ALOT of stuff, i used to always get my video cards from XFX and never had any problems. Does Gainward have a bad track record for this?

    Screen goes black after boot...

    I have the most current Mvidia drivers (ref) 61.77 My monitor is actually on, i have a solid green light when this happens. I dont think the power supply is the culprit as i monitor its voltages often and they are very flat line and very close to spec.

    Screen goes black after boot...

    Hey guys. Just recently my computer has been booting up to a black screen when my windows log in screen should appear. This only happens once out of every 10-15 boots, but it concerns me because i dont want it to lead to future problems. I have not had this problem before SP2, but i have made...

    disappointed with Doom 3 graphics -- is it my Ti4200 or the game?

    The Ti4X00 line will make all skin look shiney and poorly shaded unless you go to your advanced driver settings and set performance to High Quality. This wont slow down your game to much at all, and it looks MUCH better. A good DX9 card wont cost you too much if you want to upgrade.

    Doom 3 on a 5700 Ultra

    I hope that you dont think that i think more of you because you played through a video game twice? I dont think I am a big enough nerd to talk on this forum if that is the case. Yes i have played through the game, and I am still Firm that the benchmark does not indicate your framerate on real...

    I want to play my Doom 3

    Not for nothing, but you dont need to proove anything to anyone on this forum, it was a wise @$$ remark for ScottSwingle Computers to assume you downloaded your copy anyway. Why would you waste your time on photographing a receipt for someone that has no bearing on your life whatsoever? lol...
