Hey, this is my first post here, but I'm a long time reader of anandtech.com.
Ok, here's my problem (I have this problem since day 1) with my brand-new Asus 6800GT 128MB (2-3 weeks old) .... Every games, no that's not true, I mean every games that require a lot of video card power, like direct x 9 games(Far Cry, HL2, NFSU2), "hitch", "freeze", "hangs" or whatever you call it, for like 5-10 sec, then I can continue to play. These hangs, happen very randomly, sometime, I can play for like 30min-1hour without any hangs, sometime it happen every like 2-5mins. I'd like to be clear that the game only hangs for 5-10sec, and NOT totally freeze or crash like some people video card do. I never had this problem playing older games, or less hardware demanding games, (non-directx 9 games) like CS 1.6, Gunbound, Ragnarok Online ...
I've tried possibly everything, FastWrite Off, Sideband thing Off, AGP aparture(sp?) from 128 to 512MB, almost every nvidia drivers, asus video card drivers, and yes I was using DriverCleaner before changing drivers. My mobo bios is up-to-date (1006), nforce drivers 5.10 ... everything is updated.
That's about it, so, what do I do now ? wait for Nvidia/Asus to release decent driver ? or is there something I can do to fix it ? Thanks! and sorry for the long post ...
*EDIT* I didn't mention that I was desseperated(sp?)
