I bought one from mwav.com for $149.98 ($159.98 less $10 for using google checkout) But having it UPS'd to New York bumped it up to $176. I'm not sure how far you are from their pickup location in Walnut, CA....but then you'd only have to pay tax.

I dual boot to oem versions of 32 bit XP Pro and 64 bit Vista Home premium. Last month I had to call and reactivate when I upgraded my graphics card and sound card. And then again two weeks ago when I upgraded my CPU and added a hard drive. So the other day when I replaced my GA-965P-DS3 with a...

AS ceramique is as good as AS5, but it's safer to use on video card ram because it doesn't conduct electricity. The link below comes with 8 ram sinks and on long strip meant for some other card's voltage regulators. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835186016

It's a good 2" wider than the card. So if you have a fan on your side panel, you might have clearance issues.

Yep, I had to boil off the stock tape they came with and then I used a dab of ceramique and a little crazy glue to stick them on. And I used my dremmel to cut the long piece of heatsink they give you into smaller pieces to cover the other chips that the stock HSF unit was touching. (but now it...

I'm so glad I got the S1 + Turbo Module. ($32 from newbegg) Sure it was a pain to put in, But nothing beats it when you consider the cost/performance/quietness. Temps in a 21C room with from 54 idle/ 74 load to 37 idle/ 51 load. [/URL][/IMG]

I ordered a Gigabyte GV-NX88T512H-B from pcclub.com. (they still have stock at $269) It looks like the standard reference HSF. Maybe it will have the better voltage regulation like the GV-NX88T512H-P?

ATI is crazy not to put out an AGP x1800 to get back some of the high end market share they lost out on. I know I'd buy one. Then I could get another year or so out of my P4/ DDR1 and then build an Athlon X2/DDR2 system once the M2's are available. P.S. According to this poll, 64% of us...

HI, I posted the score for my desktop a long time ago. Here's one for my laptop : http://service.futuremark.com/compare?3dm05=1085713 It's the dell 9300 in my sig with the 6800go running at 366/750 4412 3dMarks

I had problems with Everquest2 running in slow motion, but only when I was running on battery power. I fixed it by going into the Powermizer section of the Nvidia control panel and raising the slider all the way up to max performance. Not sure if you're having issues on ac or battery, but I...

My 9300

I'm 40 and gaming has been my favorite past time since the magnavox odyssey days. Now that my son is 16 and hanging out with dad isn't considered "cool", gaming is one of the only things we can do together for some quality time. Gaming certainly hasn't made him violent in any way and he's an...

Great, it's autosensing, so it should work. Thanks!

Hi, I have 3 unused ports on my Netgear WGT624 wireless router, but I need to hookup 5 more wired PC's this weekend for some LAN gaming. I have access to a 24 port linksys switch from my office. Can I just plug that switch into one of the router ports to add more PC's? Thanks

Hey Mentok1982, If you should happen to update the list again, could you please replace my original score with this one? I posted it a while back, but I think it got lost in the shuffle.....thanks 5619 6800GT@440/1.15 P4-3.0@3572 66.72 drivers...

I normally run my Gainward at 420/1100 with 2D fan speed at 60% and 3D fan speed at 85%. Idle temp is normally in the low 50's and load is in the low 70's. The highest clock rate that autodetect has ever...detected was like 413/1100. The highest I've ever clocked it was 440/1150 to run...

I like my Gainward. You can run it at ultra speeds without voiding the warranty or higher if that's not a concern. (I also run mine at 420/1200 normally) I haven't heard of any others, but my friend just got one the other day and it was DOA. Plus I know there a few motherboards that it won't...

Thanks for the responses. The place he bought it still has stock so he's gonna RMA it. I guessing his PSU is ok after all.....the fan speed problem was in the bios like jonavin suggested. And since we have the same card, his should have worked in my system.

Hi, A friend just built a new system and we can’t figure out what’s wrong with it. From the first boot and throughout the loading of XP, the graphics have been screwed up. In the beginning of the boot process there are hyphens all over the screen and once windows loads the...

I just got a Gainward 6800GT Golden Sample....it's working fine with my LCD.

Sorry, no v-mods for me. I'm too much of a chicken shit to screw with that.

Just got my Gainward 6800GT Golden Sample yesterday. So far it looks like 430/1.2 is about where it maxes out. (12,917 3DMarks) http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=3012489 Time to play some games!

There's a thread on these pauses at nVNews. Most people think it's caused by high temps, having 2d and 3d set to different clock speeds, or this one which seems to make the most sense to me : I fixed my "pause" problem by setting the low-power 3d and performance 3d clocks the same. Seems my...

I ordered one of the last ones newegg had the other day for $430. An hour later when my friend tried to get one, they were out of stock. Zipzoomfly has them right now for $449.

I got this email on 8/16: The item on your above order number is no longer available from the vendor. Please visit us at www.gateway.com to place an order for an alternate product since this order will be cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thanks for...

Beats the hell outta me. Guaranteed Ultra speeds without voiding the warranty, one molex connecter, and only a few bucks more that the average GT. (and it looks cool too)

There's a review for it at GamePC.com. I gave up on my x800xt pre-orders and ordered this card from newegg yesterday. Hopefully I get the newer, quieter version they refer to in the review. Otherwise I'll probably have to switch out the fans for something less noisy. Newegg is out of them...

I ordered mine verbally with my account rep Friday around 11:00AM est and I got the email with my order number around 15 minutes later. The order status says says it will ship by 8/23 and hasn't changed since. We'll see.

It know it sucks to have your order cancelled like that, but it's pretty obvious that someone screwed up and priced them as GT's. If they had only sold a few, maybe they'd accept responsibility for their error and sell tham at cost, but not 150. And legally they cover their asses with their...

I ordered one from my Dell rep this afternoon. He claims that it's in stock at some distributor they deal with. He would only say that it's not coming directly from ATI or Dell and this distibutor definitely has the cards. I'm not gonna get my hopes up too high yet or cancel my other...

I think the darkness makes for some very scary moments, but it's a little over done. You'd think the marines of the future could have some kind of light on their damn weapons. Once a mob jumps out of the dark and scares the crap outta me, it would be nice to be able to see him enough to shoot him.

Excellent Guide. You guys covered my current system almost exactly AND the card I'm waiting for too! Thanks, you guys rock

I ordered my xt on 6/22 and the expected date was 7/21. So yesterday, right as I'm calling up my order status on their site, my phone rings. I'm sure it was just a weird coincidence, but it was some girl from Gateway customer service calling to tell me my item is still on back order with a new...

Will the R420 or NV40 ever be available in a 512MB version?? I keep hearing that the next gen R500 and NV?? will only come in PCI express.

He shows $600 for the price of the 800xtPE?? Retail is $499. There really is no street price since you can't find one right now at any price. And most places taking backorders for them are in the $450 range. I'm waiting (and waiting..) for one from gateway for $434.95 delivered and no tax...

Even if I trusted Tom's Benchmark scores, which I don't....they only used 4xAF and didn't run at 1600x1200. Useless info in my opinion.

The shortage must be with the 600Mhz chips. The gt's and the Pro's only use 500Mhz memory chips, right?.
