    How do you update the Asus SK8N motherboard's bios? May help with 6800U problem.

    The first time I tried it didn''t work, it said something like "No BIOS/Flash update information found" when I typed A:\SK8N1004.exe in Windows XP Safe Mode under cmd.exe/Prompt...All the files from the SK8N1004.zip file are on the Bootable, MS-DOS prompt floppy. Any ideas? I need to do this...

    My HL2 Video stress test (comes with CS: Source.)

    At 1600x1200 4xaa 8xAF, Full detail on everything, Video card set to Highest quality. 4xAA I got "51.44fps" on my system (below - in sig), using the latest leaked nvidia driver's. I'm testing it at the highest resolution now.. At 2048x1534(sp?) I got "29.98" FPS. So maybe with some...

    Counter-STrike SOurce unplayable at 1600x1200 4xAA, 8xAF Full detail on 6800Ultra

    What it says in the title - it's too slow overall, sometimes alot of slow down - this is with a decent ping. This is with the latest leaked nvidia drivers. I'm not necessarily the best test candidate because ive been having probs with the graphics card, but at 800x600 it's playable, very much...

    BFG 6800 Ulra causes freezes in all games :S

    My BFG 6800 Ultra seems to cause freezes in all games. I've tried turning off fast writes - all that does is make it freeze for about 5 seconds less, and slightly less frequently. Both games I've tried (Far Cry and The Suffering) freeze for about 5-10 seconds - in game, then you can play again...

    Counter-Strike: Source and Half-life 2 Benchmarks > by the end of the month Please.

    As it's using source it may also be an accurate indication of how Half life 2 will run as well. There's no reason not to do benchmarks of counter-strike: source by the end of the month, especially as CZ and ATI coupon owners will be able to get it by then. Also they're the benchmarks that...

    When are Nvidia's new driver's out?

    Does anyone know? I need to see how they'll do vs the x800xt's new drivers. If they're out in say a month or two I know which card to get now, however if Nvidia is releasing them soon then I'll wait...

    ATI's x800xt pe leads by far vs 6800Ultra OC in new Far Cry benchmarks, 2nd August.

    http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/leadtek_winfast_a400_ultra_tdh/ - posted 2nd of August. Now check out the 1600x1200, 4xAA one's - assuming full detail, which is all I care about: There's one where the x800xt is 19fps(!) ahead of the 6800Ultra, one of which I believe is OCed...

    x800xt apparently ahead in Half Life 2 [Latest News]!

    This was posted by ign.com today: http://pc.ign.com/articles/535/535268p1.html It seems as though you won't need much to play Half Life 2 on full anyway, compared to Doom 3, so maybe which ever is faster won't matter as you'll easily be able to play on Ultra/High Detail @ 1600x1200+ on a...

    PCI Express, DDR2, 6800Ultra, no performance gain?

    Is this true? I mean look at doom 3 on a 4 Gb system, with the 6800Ultra PCI-E vs the AGP equivalent - there's literally a 1fps difference at 1600x1200. Is it the P4 cpu holding it back? Would the same vs two FX-53's show one to be *noticeably* better than the other? So PCI-E and DDR2...

    How to Update the ASUS SK8N / How to boot into DOS with XP?

    EDIT: I'm having problems updating my SK8N BIOS. When I restart windows XP I press "F8" like I thought you were supposed to, but it just says "choose Boot Device" or something. Question: How exactly do I update my SK8N bios to version 1004? I have the SK8N1004.exe on floppy (I cut/pasted it...

    Can't id just send the hardocp director/Kyle Doom3 NOW?

    So he could do all the benchmarks for us (more), especially comparing the image quality (which hasn't been done), then we can choose the appropriate card...well I can :P ( ok you can delete the thread now :P )

    So x800xt is the best card then? Or the 6800u?

    With the benchmarks, when they're fairly close, the small FPS difference doesn't really matter . What matters is the image quality - if ATI or Nvidia has better image quality than the other then it's simply the better gaming card. Isn't it true that the x800xt has sightly better image/texture...

    Is there no such thing as a X800XT none Platinum Edition?

    Is it possible to get a none "platinum edition" or did ATI name all their x800xt card's that? "Sapphire Radeon X800XT 256MB GDDR3 AGP,ATI X800XT, VIVO, Full-Retail" This is the cheapest x800xt I've seen here in the UK, but for some reason it has no mention of "platinum edition" on the...

    Line running across CRT???

    I've just got this new CRT (Iiyama VM 514) and I notice this faint "line" running across it nearer to the top of the display, it's quite annoying atm - does anyone know what I'm talking about? Could the monitor be damaged? I'm not sure if this effects games yet....

    My FX an "AMD Engineering Sample"?

    The person I bought it off claims it's retail, I think it is - but why in my system specs does it say it's an "AMD Engineering Sample"? Do I need to update my bios or is this a bad thing, is it not the real retail version? Any replies answering the above would be appreciated.

    "Best" 22" CRT for gaming???

    I was looking at the "Mitsubishi Pro2070U 22ins FST 0.24 96khz" and "Iiyama Vision Master Pro514 22ins DTR 0.24dpi 142khz". [These are UK terminologies, not sure if the monitors are called something else in the US.] The latter (Iiyama) has been recommended by a PC gaming magazine I buy...

    DDR *500* Registered (4000) for Athlon FX?

    Is any1 getting this memory for their Ahtlon FX? The one imperfection in the system I was getting seemed to be the memory. Whilst it was still fast, at 3200 C2, I wanted the latest DDR 500, but it seemed as though I would have to settle with 3200 (which is still fine) because of the board...
