Re: Good CRTs?

I picked up a 24" Trinitron (with a Dell label on it) for free a couple months back. 1600 x 1200. I use it as my main monitor and my acer 19" widescreen LCD as a secondary. This CRT takes up a lot of desk real estate, but I love it. See if you can pick one up on Craigslist or something. I ...

Graphics card artifacts(?)

I apologize in advance if this is in the wrong section. Not sure if there is a help section or whatnot. This isn't the first time with a problem like this, but I'm not sure what I did last time to solve it. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves: http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a94/xBKTx/_MG_33...

Re: Vista: Connection issues

Is Norton (anything) installed on the problem computer? Is DHCP enabled on the router? Have you tried a different port? Have you tried a different cable? No norton, firewall is off. DHCP enabled. I tried a different port, no luck. I have not tried a different cable, that's next on the list. I don't...

Vista: Connection issues

I'm having a little trouble connecting to the internet with Vista. I am on a wireless connection right now on the same router that I have the CAT5 cable plugged into, but that's a little weak, and would like to be hard-wired. I have tried just about everything I can think of, including this: http://...

The ATI program might well not work.


ATI tool is supposed to work for both. It's not ATI's program.


And tbe board is EVGA, if that makes any difference. All the programs have my card displayed correctly. hrm.

Why can't I overclock this card?

With my new GTS 512, I can't get any program to overclock it. ATI Tool, Sys Tool, Riva tuner I cant even figure out how to set the clocks. WTF, I must be retarded or really tired. In ATI tool, I set the clocks to whatever speed, and click "set clock" and the clocks just go back to 0, even ...

8800gts 512 is IN!!

And it's pretty awesome. I didn't run a whole lot of tests or anything, but so far, it far surpasses my 2900XT(X) 1GB. With the ATi, my 3dmark06 score at default settings was 11573, and I pulled a 124xx with the 512. Not too bad, esp. since this card should overclock a little better without getting ...

Dammit, I bought the new GTS because the GT's were waaaaay overpriced. I could have saved over $100 and picked it up myself. :(


That's ok, my GTS comes with Crysis. :-?
