Cheers, my gfx cards fan does go into a frenzy come to think of it on those 3dmark tests. I read somewhere that you can buy pci slot fans that do exactly that, I will give it a go and let you know the results, i reckon my pc it too hot min temps of anything on it are about 40-50 degress most other p...

Heres my 3Dmark06 score, some of the polygons in the demo were mad i.e. looked like something seriously wrong? even though my gpu is not overclocked. http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n124/cloakfiend/3d06.jpg a pretty close score to yours Kenc51, yet you seem to be able to play your games with full...

Hi, I did the memory timing thing as well after a bit of research on the web and just entered the 2.5 3 3 6 numbers into the corresponding tras trp and trcd but nothing for the others(trrd, trc, trfc, trwt?), also i just thought i'd note that my machine reset itself whilst initialising the graphics ...

Ok I'm not sure now that there is a reset bios feature, there is a clear cmos thing where i had to move my ati card and pull out the battery and short the contacts by moving a jumper. Bit long!! much rather have a switch or something! any way did that 8 times in a row whilst rearanging ram slots etc...

I think I have already reset the bios, well upgraded it and then downgraded it from dos, because i got some weird things going on in Flatout2 graphically but it remained messed up even after i set the bios back so i just uninstalled it out of stress. I'll reset the bios again and try the two memory ...

Ok, i pulled out the memory and tested each stick in slot B1 as it says so in the mobo handbook, (it says only use that slot if you have one stick?) but i got the same results for both sticks of ram in that one slot, i dont want to mess the mobo or mem up by trying the other slots unless i know its ...

Hmm i was kinda hoping that the results from the BOIS-STD tests were the important ones, and that the BIOS-ALL tests weren't that important! Looks like its gonna be a long day. I did read though through memtests website somwhere that the asus a8n32 sli deluxe throws up errors but I that doesnt make ...

I hope this shows what i mean, i have no idea if its relevant but i also noticed that nothing came under the chipset section??? should it, it did on memtests home page? under my options it says html off so not sure if you'll see this? http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n124/cloakfiend/twinx2048-3200...

I got this board and all is fine apart from 3d/open gl/directx stuff i.e. 3ds max and Games run super jerky when they get a bit complex, i have 2GB of twinx corsair xms 2.3.3.6 RAM (1 1GB modules) and seasonic 600W PSU, amd 4400+ x2, sapphire Radeon x1900xt 512MB, winxp pro sp2, and i cant seem to r...

Hi yes i partitioned my drive and am currently going through all possibly variations so i determine exactly what is wrong. I had a partitioned drive and reformatted the partition that windows was on and did a clean reinstall and updated everything from the net inc catalyst 6.9. All mpegs and avis no...

P.S. What is the difference between the Sapphire x1900xt 512MB cheapest version (£220) or the Connect x1900xt 512MB (£370) or as mentioned in other post the HIS x1900xt 512MB apart from the cost as they all appear identical in terms of size, speed and memory? I have the sapphire for obvious reasons ...

Hi, I now know that there is clearly a bad problem going on (like i thought) Before i burn my computer (and i'll post the footage!), do you belive that i can play pretty much most games (except oblivion) with all max settings on a Saphire ATI X1900XT 512MB, 2GB Corsair XMS DDR3200 ram, AMD 4400+ x2 ...

Also i noticed that someone said that the shader was messed up in all the catalysts since 6.3, is that correct because in Just Cause when i would swim to the bottom of the sea or look down at my shadow, it would be all jaggedy and messed up looking? i guess thats what they meant. Im gonna try Tomb R...

Wel the Mobo thing wasn;'t what i thought so forget that. But i did a clean install and Installed directx from the web runtime thing on microsofts site, and installed just cause and Flatout 2. I then played them at 1600x1200 (max res) and the 1280x1024 with the default settings, i.e. no anti aliasin...

Cheers for the support! I was thinking over night that it could also be a bios thing on the MOBO, as i checked the web for hours about erratic graphics behaviour on 3d games and there were a couple of points referring to NB and SB, especially when a game runs smooth and then has moments of tiny paus...

I think I'm gonna get an Nvidia card, ATI sucks. I want GTA San-An to work.

Hi, I just downloaded the 3dmark 05 as my cpu (2.2Ghz) is not oc'd to 2.5 (can i get it to 2.5 safely as i have an arctic cooler 64 pro on my cpu?) i kinda dont want to o'c the ati as it noisy when it thinks hard. anyways, my score on 3d mark 05 1.02 are 10692, not sure if thats good or bad but is s...

Cheers for that, I'll give it a go, and post my score. And i have a Seasonic PSU 600W I hope i don't need more power i pay enough on bills already! lol. I'm gonna need to get some more Sata drives to move all my work across as i have them in a raid setup, and if i start all over again i dont want to...

Cheers, for the bad news!!! since i got the card online its gonna be tricky swapping it, how would i do that send it back? i havent got the box cover anymore only the card, drivers/wires/manuals and extra crap, do i send it to ATI or where i got it? damn im gonna be without GPU for aaaages! cant wor...

Hi, I rarely resort to forums but i recently bought a few games to see how they ran on my x1900xt as i mainly use my comp for 3DS Max work. I have an AMD 4400 Dual Core Asus A8n32 SLI Deluxe MOBO ATI X1900xt 512MB 2GB RAM As a GTA lover I bought all three as I love modding and the best gun is only a...
