That is a little scary that you get arifacting in safe mode, as the vid card drivers are not loaded in theory. Nevertheless, even though it says they are loaded properly, as a starting point I would still uninstall the drivers, use drivercleaner utility to clean out the graphics drivers, and...
Yeah, I figured I was screwed. I've been hanging here wondering what the heck I can do. I am hoping things boot up when I reboot. When I get mainboard info from sandra it still has the date of the original bios. I am very dumbfounded as to why the flash isn't working. I've used winflash...
I have been trying to flash the bios of my DFI Lanparty UT nF4 SLI-D mobo with winflash for about an hour. The latest bios gave me "flash block verify error" after the main block. So, I went to an earlier bios version and the same thing. I have gone all the way back to the initial bios and...
I guess I have been lucky to have never had to test the warranty of a manufaturer. I am of the opinion that for the most part, all cards using the same GPU are essentially the same. A lifetime warranty is nice, but to me it is overkill since I try to upgrade before I would need it. A...
Has anyone ever ordered from futurepowerpc? Decent reseller ratings and says it has the PNY 7900 GT in stock for $309. I just ordered from them, 2nd day air for $322 total. Why no other takers?
I emailed him friday and asked about compatibility with nforce3 and 4, got his reply today which was not a yes or no, just a paste of the chipsets he had listed on the auction. So there you have the "catch".
That RAM is high density. It will work with 128 x 4, as well as with [presumably...

I checked it on an XPS for fun. It worked when I customized a high end XPS, but not when I did a lower end XPS??? Anyway, you can customize the high end to a lower end and it works. Not all that great (about $2K for an XPS configured to...
A google search wouldn't give me much insight as why the author of this particular thread on this particular forum didn't include the 9600XT in his list.
The author of this thread understood what I was saying, and that was my intent. Your canned "search for the benchmarks instead of...
Nice of you to take the time to do the list :)
Out of curiosity, why would you not consider the 9600XT a good sub $150 card? I just bought the kid one for his machine this Christmas and think it is a good card for that price range.
Got my 3000+ 939 today. It is late and I won't do some serious stress testing until later, but I match thier results, and I have not tried any higher. The picture below is probably small and hard to read, but here is a summary:

I was considering the XPS when searching for a laptop that could handle gaming, but I ran into extremenotebooks and picked up one of their models, which are Pro-Star (Clevo) notebooks.
Theirs have the 17 inch widescreen and their mobile 9700's are outfitted with 256 MB dedicated ram. They...
