    9800GX2 nvlddmkm Whose responsible?

    Well if I said I was pleased I'd be lying. I bought this back in August of last year 08/14/08 to be exact. $459.99 total paid, but what the heck, this is what you pay for emerging tech, hugh? Almost one year later I finely get a working unit. About the time I would normally upgrade. Upgrade...

    9800GX2 nvlddmkm Whose responsible?

    Well I called tech Thursday 05/14 those guys are really friendly and very helpful. As expected I had no trouble getting an RMA. As suggested by others I did way more than was required but I would hate getting a new card having the same issue and it's not the GPU. I would feel pretty stupid at...

    9800GX2 nvlddmkm Whose responsible?

    Yes I went up to 105 and tested again with same result. I guess I forgot to mention it if you can believe that with all the above verbiage. Honestly I never have had to touch it before below a 4GHz clock and most my test were at stock speed all components. I lost faith with EVGA tech when...

    9800GX2 nvlddmkm Whose responsible?

    I have thoroughly tested with memtest 3 different pairs of memory on the setup at stock speeds and then tight timings underclocked and loose timings overclock. Memtest minimum 6 passes zero errors with all clocks. At this point I'm ready to RMA again but, here and a couple other places I...

    9800GX2 nvlddmkm Whose responsible?

    Regarding Overclocking the GPU at this point all is stock. Underclocking is not an option IMO even if it works. @mhouck your comments are welcome and underscores my Q Whose responsible? Yours works fine as I suspect do many others. My bad luck aside this tells me what I concluded in the all...

    9800GX2 nvlddmkm Whose responsible?

    Although I got the replacement GPU from EVGA RMA a while back it's only now that I've had a chance to get her back in to a system for testing. The good news is both cores show x16 which one core in the previous card showed x8. See www.evga.com/forums/tm.asp?m=647374 thread. The bad news is...

    Monitor Dead, what is the problem?

    If the 15" CRT works fine I presume your using a VGA connection so you've ruled out the system If your video card has a VGA port it's working so you've ruled that out. Now if you used an adapter and your GPU has only DVI connection then you've ruled out DVI as the root of your trouble but you...

    Is there any way around to allow FEAR2 (steam) to install on any other drive but C?

    First best solution is to buy a larger hard drive or repartition the one you have. Image C:\ I use Acronis True Image and place the image on either the new larger drive or larger repartitioned C:\ and your done. The second and problematic in Vista solution involves some registry hacks...

    eVGA 780i Chipset Mobo....., Ok, it's not so bad!

    Doesn't ESA stand for Excluding Simple Adjustment.... lol don't get me wrong I have a 680i and a 780i EVGA board and I think there both great boards but not for extreme overclocking. The bios lacks fine adjustments found elsewhere same chipset. The corruption issues are Nvidia related IMHO and...
