    7900GTO Arrived! But I lost performance?

    I haven't noticed any big heat problems on mine so far, any specific utilities/tools I should use to overclock it? This lack of performance is really bumming me out.

    7900GTO Arrived! But I lost performance?

    Heh, I'd like to OC it but I have absolutely no clue how to bring that about. I did however notice that the temperatures on this card as opposed to the passively cooled 7800GTX are WAY lower.

    7900GTO Arrived! But I lost performance?

    Are the drivers on Nvidia's website the newest drivers? 91.47 forceware? Did the driver cleaner stuff and it didn't seem to help at all.

    7900GTO Arrived! But I lost performance?

    With my 7800GTX I used to be able to have plenty of objects on the screen (World of Warcraft, 40 man raids, Orgrimmar at peak hours, mass PVP) with no drop in FPS, but I've noticed a HUGE drop in FPS on the 7900GTO when there are other people on the screen, but about a 46 point increase in the...

    7950GT worth the money?

    That's another thing, I have a SoundBlaster XFi Xtreme Music on the DFI board, that card won't cause any issue with taking up too much space will it?

    7950GT worth the money?

    Well, I've had my 7800GTX for about a year, bought it with my DFI LanpartyUT UltraD and my Dual Core Opteron (1800+ I think, on the low end but meh it was an upgrade from my P3 600Mhz HP Pavillion from like 1995) and I hadn't had the chance to overclock it yet, even at stock speeds I noticed it...

    Best Ram for Overclocking?

    Thats horrible, so the only reason to get more than a gig is for e-pen0s and for possible future reasons? Guess I'll just have to wait until then to get more than a gig. Anyone got a specific alternative to the G.skill or should I just say fck it and go with that?

    Best Ram for Overclocking?

    Well I wanna make sure I can get the best quality for gaming and applications as well as getting an awesome overclock, though I've heard everything AFTER week 51 sucks horribly, so I'm probaby gonna take a while to look around for a 3000+ that is pre-51 unless the people I asked are wrong...

    MSi Neo2 Plat. won't post in Dual Channel please help.

    I thought the MSI K8Neo2 Plat only supported up to DDR333? It won't post on stock RAM settings from what I've heard so your going to have to OC the memory to get it to work efficiently. Either that or I've been fed misinformation...
