    My new eVGA 6800 is performing really low... (3DMark03, Aquamark, JK3, etc...)

    Another wild azzed stab.... perhaps your OC has hosed up your AGP frequency. Check your AGP frequency in your bios... sometimes it is hard set (ie 66mhz)... or it may be a clock ratio (ie 2/3). Try putting your CPU back to the normal clock & multiplier for a test. Brutally stupid question...

    6800 Power issues

    AMD2500 1GB PC2700 Epox 8RDA+ <<-- that is likely it... I had everything else unhooked some CD burner some 80gb HD Nothing in the PCI slots. I tried 2 different 400W power supplies... as I mentioned one causes a far quieter tone than the other. I am also wondering if the ground on...

    My new eVGA 6800 is performing really low... (3DMark03, Aquamark, JK3, etc...)

    I have all of those ENABLED on my new unlocked 6800... with quality set to high. Getting about 9300 on 3dMark03 without any tweaking on an AMD2500... your system should be at least meeting that with your overclocked cpu. Are your mobo drivers installed & current... such as the AGP driver...

    6800 Power issues

    At this point I am certain it has little to do with the available wattage of a given power supply. I tried 3 power supplies with nothing attached other than the mobo & 6800. Differing loudness on the alarm is the only result... one blaring loud, one medium loud, and the other a whipser...

    6800 Power issues

    Very interesting. Exactly the same config I have... eVGA 6800NU and Epox 8RDA+. As I mentioned, my tone is now somewhat quiet now that I swapped PSUs... but is still there. A grounding issue perhaps? Later today I plan to cover up the 6800's speaker with a piece of duct tape... that...

    6800 Power issues

    Just swapped in a replacement 400w supply for the other 400w supply. Tone has changed. It is still there, but it 1/20th of the volume. One cannot hear it with the case on. So... deciding whether to RMA the 6800. Hmmm... this one unlocked with ease with no artifacts. But if I RMA it...

    6800 Power issues

    I am having exactly the same issue. When I plug the power supply into the wall, the speaker on my new 6800 emits a constant LOUD tone, but only when the PC is powered off. The PC powers on fine... the tone from the 6800 speaker stops. It ran just fine (without any tone) all evening. But...

    [DEAD] Evangelion Perfect Collection (Full Series!) - $39.99

    And where can you find a NERV parking sticker? I saw one the other day, but had no luck tracking one down.

    [DEAD] Evangelion Perfect Collection (Full Series!) - $39.99

    Never got into Gundam for that very reason. Was left saying 'wtf... that is it?' after the original Evangelion ending. The ending on the two movies was somewhat superior, imo. On a side anime note, wtf is 'Super Milk Chan' on adult swim? I expect to doze off to something amusing like...

    Long-Range Wireless Point-to-Point

    Ok. If I wrap a cat5 around my b1tch mother-in-law's neck and hang her from one of the trees, with a cantenna duct-taped to her skull, think that would help? ;)

    Long-Range Wireless Point-to-Point

    Hello all. I am getting ready to break ground on my new house. On the exact opposite side of the golf course lives my father-in-law. We have been tossing about the idea of trying to share my internet connection via wireless. Distance is 1800-2000ft. Any thoughts as to an antenna config...
