Pretty nice pricing if you don't mind dealing with MIR's................ :mrgreen: I hate waiting for them (if they ever do show up at all)..................... :shock: If you have issues with any of our rebates, please start a support ticket at http://www.xfxforce.com and PM me the ticket number. ...

If you are in clone mode, meaning you have the same image displayed on both monitors you will not take a performance hit. If you have a different image or application one each screen then you will.

Just wanted to let everyone know that today we officially launched our 8800GTS 320MB Fatality video card. What sets this card apart from the rest are its speeds of 650MHz on the GPU and 2.0GHz on the memory.

If that driver is giving you problems try using the new NVIDIA beta driver. Also keep in mind the driver release notes state that at times it could take up to a few minutes for the NVIDIA control panel to respond after the driver install.

These cards do run hot and are dependent on case air flow. Try removing your system case cover and see if the temps drop. If so you may want to look into providing better air flow for your system to get lower temps.

Usually a low performance with the high end 8 series cards is due to either a underpowered or failing PSU (We all learned this the hard when when the 8 series cards first launched) or sometimes drivers. I recommend testing with the other games like you have talked about. Make sure when testing you d...

Nvidia now has the 162.22 driver for Vista. This is a unified driver so it will work for 6,7 and 8 series video cards.

I agree 81c is nothing to be worried about.

Do you hear the system boot into windows? Are you using the video card in your sig or a new one?

Thanks for the replies, As for SLI'ing anything, i seriously doubt that. You need 2 identical GPU's for SLI, so you can't SLI a 6600 and a 7900, that simply wouldn't work no way, slower clocks or not. Solinari is correct, in order to SLI two video cards they must have the same GPU. Its also best to...

I am not aware of an aftermarket fansink that does a better job then the factory one. Anyone seen or heard of such a cooler?

Keep us posted on the progress.

It sounds like you are on the right track. If you have tried each card in each slot with no luck in the second PCI-E 16 slot then it may be the motherboard. I would contact Asus and look for any additional troubleshooting tips or possibly an RMA number. I know on some of the A8N boards you have to f...

I did try the demo with an 8800GTS and it worked, to answer your question.

I knew when we launched our new modder friendly warranty I would see customers do some strange things with their video cards, but I wasnt expecting the experiments to involve a BBQ. Once again nice job thinking outside the box and delivering an interesting read!!

It’s good to see such positive feedback from you guys. I did want to ensure everyone knows this was just us "poking fun" at EVGA and not a straight forward insult as there is no bad blood between our two companies. If fact you would be surprised by our competitive friendly relationship w...

I noticed this as well. Ntune relased a newer verion just the other day: http://www.nvidia.com/object/ntune_5.05.38.00.html So I downloaded that, but still no luck with controlling the fan speed. You can still monitor the temp but you will need to got to the Nvidia control panel, then under performa...

After running some benchmarks I found the 7600GT to run much faster then the 8500GT. If I had to pick between these two for gaming reasons, I would go with the 7600GT. I recommend you look into the 8600GT as this will outperfom the 7600GT, is DirectX 10 compatible and will not break your wallet. XFX...

The exact reason escapes me, however I would guess to poke fun at EVGA in a friendly manner, competitors perhaps but we like to joke around with each other.

Its actually there on many of the boxes, believe it or not.
