I installed the latest vista64 driver for this card and I'm having some problems. I'd like to go back to the last WHQL drivers but I cant remember the driver number. Can anyone help me out?

I can't seem to find a way to have a different wallpaper on each screen, is there any way to do this? I'm running the nvidia 169.25 drivers on vista x64, with 2 screens running at 1280*1024.

How can I turn on AA in this game? There's no in-game option, and forcing AA in the control panel has no effect. I've tried turning on advancedDevice=1 but I don't see any extra options in game. Anyone playing with AA? I am running an 8800gts 512MB on Vista 64 with the 169.25 drivers.

I installed crysis and played maybe halfway through the game over a period of a few days and everything was fine. Now that I'm playing it some more, I have a big problem. Whenever I do a quicksave, or the game saves at a checkpoint it takes 2-2 1/2 minutes to save. This is making it pretty much...

What are your temps? My xfx 7900gs xxx edition (600/1600) runs at 68C idle, and up to 105C (!) load. This seems ridiculously high. I have good enough case airflow and I've tired reseating the heatsink/replacing the TIM. Does yours get this hot?

I have an e6400 on a gigabyte ds3 rev1. I'm not overclocking. At stock volts (1.325) idle power = 105W. At 1.3000, idle = 114W. What gives?

A few years ago I played a game at a LAN cafe that was set in WWII and had vehicles in the multiplayer. Just recently I've been trying to find that game. I thought it was COD1 but I've tried a few maps and I can't see any vehicles. Is there an option I've missed or have I got the wrong game?

I ordered Oblivion afew days ago and it's just arrived on my doormat. I know that Oblivion has tons and tons of mods and I'd like to install a load before I start playing. Main things I'm looking for: 1. Mods to improve the graphics 2. Mods to make it less "consolish" (I don't know how consoley...

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum. I currently have a 250GB drive but Iim soon going to upgrade to a 500GB one. I'd like to avoid having to reeinstall windows, drivers, games, apps etc, so I was wondering if there's any way to tansfer the whole contents of the old drive to the new one...

Does anyone know if/when an Arctic Cooling silencer will be realeased for the 8800 series of graphics cards? My card gets very hot, even heating up the whole back of the case after a long gaming session. For me this is the first card that has actually made a difference to the load temp of my...

Anyone else seen anything like this in game? I'm running an 8800gts all setting max, no AA.

Has anyone managed to get HDR + AA working in far cry? If so please post how.

I have the 97.92 drivers and the "Adjust GPU settings" is all mucked up, see below: (Note the 2 ticked radio boxes, greyed out sliders and 0MHz clock speeds) If I click "Find Optimal", the screen goes black and I have to hard reboot. Should I try reinstalling the drivers?

I have an 8800gts and it gets pretty hot under load (82°C) and I heard that applying AS5 to the core can reduce load temps by ~10°C. I'd like to do this but im a bit concerned that removing the cooler and replacing it will reduce the effectiveness of the ther thermal bond between the ram chips...

Has anyone managed to get AA + HDR working in far cry on an 8800? If so please explain how to do it.

I've got the latest version of quake 4 (1.3 i think) and whenever i change the graphics settings in-game, the game tells me they will take effect next time i load the game, so i close and re-open quake 4, but all the settings are back to the old values. Any ideas how to fix this?

In the nvidia control panel for my bfg 8800tgs 640MB, it has "Quality" set by default under "texture filtering". There is also a "High quality" option available. From the [H] review i got the idea that AF quality was excelent at the default setting, so what exactly does high quality filtering do?

I live in a house with 3 other guys and we all have pcs connected to a router. I have 2 pcs in my room and i want to be able to share files between these 2 pcs over the network, without making them available to everyone else. What's the easiest way to do this? Both pcs are running xp pro.

Check it out: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-039-BG Under £200 for a bfg 8800gts OC is a damn nice deal in my opinion, now I have to wait till the reviews to see how much the loss of ram affects performance.

I just bought quake 4 today and i'm trying to play it online but i can't. Whenever i try to connect to an online game it comes up with a window that says "connection denied" and "punkbuster needs to be enabled". Punkbuster is enabled, and i'm sure its installed as there is a "pb" folder full of...

I have a Gigabyte DS3 and I'm trying to control fan speeds with Speedfan, but it doesn't seem to work. If you have a DS3 and Speedfan works for you, please tell me what bios you are using and which bios settings allow fan control. Thanks!

My friend gets ~23,000 in 3dmark01 with his p4 3.2 @ 3.5 and a 7900gs. This seems low to me as I scored only a little less with my a64 3500+ and 9800pro. Is this just an example of a very cpu-limited situation or is something wrong?

I am running an e6400 at 3.04GHz on a DS3. I'm trying to cool it as quietly as possible without it being damaged. At the moment I am getting load temps of 49C on speedfan and 59C on coretemp. The CPU is being cooled by a passive Scythe Ninja (with a 120m exaust fan right behind it). Now I'd like...

I tried running super pi 32M on both cores of my e6400 (380*8) by loading 2 instances and setting core affinity using the task manager. After just a few seconds i get a "not convergent in sqr05" error on one of the cores (the other core keeps running fine). The thing is orthos runs for hours on...

Does anyone know of a program that can display the chipset temperature on a Gigabyte DS3 mobo? All the programs I've tried just show cpu/system. Where is the system temperature sensor anyway?

I bought an Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro for my new core 2 duo system and I se it has pre-applied thermal paste (silver in colour). Should I just use this stuff or clean it off and apply some AS5?
