    x1900XT overheating?!? How??

    Sulaco, If you purchased the card through Newegg, then start there first. I purchased my ATI x1900xtx from Newegg and didn't have any problems. I hear they are really good about RMAs, so just contact them today! Let us know how it goes. Thanks

    Pics of my new Antec P180!!

    Dynamix3D, Great pictures. I have the same case and motherboard as you do and am wondering why you replaced the rear exhaust fans. Do they cool better than the Antec fans or more silent? Additionally, how where/how do you plug in the rear fans to the power supply? Are the cords run under the...

    Another Dell experience

    Hydrophobic, I feel your pain. I?ve purchased three Dell computers for personal use and recommended Dell systems for work as well. The last system I purchased from Dell was a new Dimension 8300. I also purchased a set of Logitech Z-680 speakers that arrived with a defective controller pod. As...

    Oblivion PC tweaks

    5150Joker, Okay, I modified the .ini file using the same settings as suggested by the developer. Looks great! I ran FRAPS and went through the same areas again: Frames: 4788 Time(ms): 104431 Min: 33 FPS Max: 55 FPS Avg: 45.848 FPS Seems like the average increased, but it's hard to...

    Oblivion PC tweaks

    5150Joker, What utility did you use to encode the files once you recorded them using FRAPS? I downloaded Xvid and I also have the Windows Encoder installed on my system. I never created an in-game video and just captured a small one using FRAPS and then used the Windows Encoder to shrink the...

    Oblivion PC tweaks

    5150Joker, Thanks for the video and information about your settings and FPS. I watched your Outdoors Video and used FRAPS to capture approximately the same sequence as you did with my system. I used FRAPS to capture a benchmark and here are the results: ATI X1900XTX Settings...

    GPU Cooler Review @ sudhian

    EndGame, Thanks for the reply. That was kinda what I thought. I'm using an Antec P180 with an A8nsli premium, so it would seem as though the fan would suck the hot air off the card in the direction of my two/top exhaust fans and cpu. I'm thinking the Zalman VF900-Cu would blow air...

    GPU Cooler Review @ sudhian

    suszterpatt, Here is a good hands-on review of the A2 by someone who purchased it to cool an ATI x1900xt - http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?t=91422 It seems as though the cooler didn't really drop the temps so much from the stock cooler as it decreased noise. The thread...

    Dell 3007WFP and BFG 7800GTX 512?

    yomafire, Have you noticed any ghosting with your monitor and are you still using the same video card? I'm thinking of purchasing this monitor to be used with a single x1900xtx. I've always used Dell p1130 Sony Trinitron monitors CRT and have wanted to go with LCD for a while, but heard...

    X1900XTX and Oblivion question...

    Eur, I'll have to check when I get home, but ATI's CCC is all set to "Application Specific" and I'm using in-game graphic settings. Would this be something I need to turn on using CCC or by editing the .ini file I've been hearing about? I haven't opened the .ini file. Does HQ AF really...

    X1900XTX and Oblivion question...

    EuR, I downloaded FRAPS and made it out of the sewers to the outside. I stood in the grass near some rocks after killing those two furry creatures near the camp. The grass had red and blue flowers and was swaying side to side. I started capturing a benchmark using FRAPS and walked to Fort...
