    8800gtx as secondary to gtx280...(three monitors)

    Everything works. I had some settings wrong for softth. But my problem at first was definitely a poor driver install. With the new drivers covering all nvidia cards, everyone should be fine with any pairing...

    8800gtx as secondary to gtx280...(three monitors)

    meh, no old cards, sadly. Argh. Will see if I can go pick up a cheap one. Should it be nvidia? Anything I can do in the bios btw?

    8800gtx as secondary to gtx280...(three monitors)

    I have updated to 177.79, and both cards get installed fine. Again, regular single monitor gaming is fine. Triple monitor gaming fails to run with softth. I actually get less far with this driver. Before, I could load the game fully (and across three screens) and it would crash when I entered it...

    I upgraded, that is why I have it. I might have to look for something else.

    8800gtx as secondary to gtx280...(three monitors)

    Jim, thanks, At first I *was* just trying to get it to work on just one monitor while both cards were in the machine. Then I was able to do so - games run fine on the primary screen. But now, triple monitors are my issue. Speedy, I will update the thread for sure. And will try to get to...

    8800gtx as secondary to gtx280...(three monitors)

    Hi guys, thanks! I am in XP. I have a p5n32-e SLI board, with fully up to date bios.The two cards are in the two blue PCI-E slots where they should be? As for drivers, I have the 177.41 drivers for the 280 installed. To continue from above, when the 8800 was not recognized, I installed it...

    8800gtx as secondary to gtx280...(three monitors)

    I installed a new gtx 280 tonight with the 8800gtx as a secondary for a third monitor, and games crashed right away, running on the primary monitor of the 280. From the start, I tried installing the new 280 drivers over what I had for the 8800 when I first booted up with the new card. I...

    Planar PX2611W 26"

    I have a dead pixel near center as well. I thought it would wreck my experience with the monitor when I first noticed it. But I don't notice it any more. Too busy working. It's very difficult to make out from normal viewing position, even when you're looking for it. I do hope my second Planar...

    Planar PX2611W 26"

    None, I did not touch contrast. I lowered colour gains some.

    Planar PX2611W 26"

    In my experience, this is incorrect. I calibrated mine to 150 and still have room.

    And welcome once again to analysis paralysis.

    Planar PX2611W 26"

    Ami, what did I say, when calibrated this monitor pumps out all the accuracy and punch you could ever want. Out of the box it's absolutely going to be perfect for regular users. Sharpness was also a massive, unexpected boon to me. It's like putting glasses on for the first time, and for the...

    Way hot 6700 idle with stock cooler....need help.

    Bill, thanks! I am a fan of sound quality, yes. Interesting you used to sell audio stuff. I have $5000 speakers paired with a $1200 receiver, and still need to feed the speakers better. I'm running the Klipsch reference 7 5.1 speaker setup with a Yamaha rx-v2500. My next receiver's budget will...
