omg fix it i need to get my fix!

I expected this to be released like two weeks ago.

I was having insane hitching problems with this game that I was able to fix last night. I did a clean driver install of the new offical nvidia drivers, defragged my harddrive, and then turned off autosave in console and that was it, no more problems. I know that a lot of people say there is a...

Daaamn... "Oh no you didn't!"

I would lower the resolution to get a locked-solid frame rate but I haven't noticed any stutter and I have a 2001fp, so 1600x1200 is the only way to go :p

To answer the actual question: 1600x1200 with everything maxed out. 8xani 2xanti. Or you could just go with the settings that have * on them (recommended) but that will be the same as above.

Sooooo worth the wait. I played this game for an hour last night and was blown away. Doom3, Halo2 are both great but this game is fantastic. Amazing visuals, amazing physics, I don't want to sound like a sales man, it is so good. I can not wait to play again tonight. If you don't play this...

I had this problem and it was a result of an improper installation of the CPU/Heatsink. I would just redo that and see if it works. The other option is that your drivers are screwed up and do a clean install.

Wowza, that sucks for you buddy. I just sent my eVGA6800gt back to newegg a week ago and got it back seven days later minus the Farcry game, but then I called and they sent that back too. So... yeah, wow, sucks to be you.

I have the 2001fp too and I game at 1600x1200 high everything all the time in any game and don't notice fps dropping to anywhere near problematic. I think a 6800GT would do you nice.

Tell me about it :p It all really makes sense now too. I could play CoD for almost 30 minutes or so fine, but if too much happened on the screen it would lock. But that game isn't so CPU intensive. I would run Sims2 and it would totally bork my computer after five minutes. I would run...

The heatsink was put on right, but maybe I did use too much AS5. The real question though is why did everything work for as long as it did at the temps that it did when things were goofy? That is what perplexes me. I think that undoubtably I erred on the AS5 treaments or heatsink...

Hi, Okay well this is the situation. I just built a new system, my first. I was having lots and lots of crashes in all 3d games and sometimes with WMP10. Because the large majority of crashes happened in games I blamed the new 6800GT. Everything, however, tested fine! The memory passed...

Hi again, well here is the update. The RMA went swimmingly, they turned around my card and had it back to me a week after I sent it back (newegg). The new card works great however I just figured out that my graphic card was not actually at fault. The new one locked up the same way the old one...

When I open up a folder with preview icons of 700+ meg divx/xvid files the entire system starts chugging, similar chugging to a really slow computer but this thing should not be chugging, then maybe one preview file comes up and then everything inside the folder dissappears and then the system...

I wonder if this is the reason that my windows media player freezes up my entire system everytime it tries previewing a large divx/xvid dvd. Damn...

The error is nv4_disp.dll? If that is the only error you get and it is consistent I would bet you aren't using driver cleaner to remove your drivers properly. If that is true then ask or search how to do a proper driver uninstall/reinstall. If you do know what you are doing and getting this...

What brand? Where did you RMA it?

That I can agree with, but you damn [H]'s got me so worked up to oc everything lol. When I get my new card I do not intend to oc and I will definitely make sure it works to spec before I do if I so choose later. If I then actually break the thing oc'ing it I will not complain and I will get a...

Oh I'm sleeping very well, provided I get my new card ASAP. I see your point about the GDDR3 but the fact is I left a pretty wide margin for my cost analysis. If people want to nitpick it then that is their perogative. The fact remains the same, these cards pay for themselves many times over...

Thanks for the vote of confidence. This is the first system I have ever built and believe me, I have not done anything insane to damage the thing with overclocking. I RMA'd this morning. I would also like to say that on a personal note I see what you are saying with the overclocking breaking...

I'm sorry, I'm really glad you are trying to help me, but I am not going to RMA my cpu and memory when everything about them seems fine unless you can explain to me why I should in a way that is more than, "something similar happened to me, I tested everything and it was fine, and I got them...

I appreciate the sentiment about the oc, however I will take it as a lesson learned if anything, not a financial hit on my bank statement. These cards cost at least three times currently what they cost to make so I don't feel like I'm ripping off anybody. Sorry, just the way I feel about it...

Nvrmind the flaming monkeys above. Flashing your card is the process in which you overwrite your videocard's (or any hardware you flash's) bios chip with a new one. The bios is stored on a different kind of chip that in simple terms retains information stored on it with out power. It is like...

I concur. I got my RMA approved from newegg. I'll be sending that back to them fedex standard overnight tommorow and hopefully I'll get a new one by next friday or the following monday. I really can't fault eVGA as they have been great on the support side and have a very flexible upgrade...

Yeah, I've done a clean install, so a new harddrive isn't going to fix anything and this drive is running perfectly anyway so it isn't a problem with the SATA drive. Like I said above, I don't have another card which is why it sucks so bad to RMA this one, but at this point I feel I have tried...

Yes I have run memtest and memtest + and both passed with no errors at all. So not memory related. I would try to use the card in another computer but I don't have one, sorry.

Nope, fresh build. All components are new, and like I said I did a fresh format install of XP about four times now.

Yeah, sorry about that, I don't have it overclocked at all. That is just what I had tested it at before I got games and realized none of them would run even at stock for more than a few minutes without locking up. I also forgot to mention the sims2 doesn't work without crashing to the desktop...

Okay so here is the scoop. I have tried four different drivers, finally sticking to 65.73 as that gives me the fewest crashes. I have tried all kinds of tweaks to my BIOS (motherboard, not graphics card). I have had my apeture setting at every different level. I have enabled/disabled...

Aren't the official Nvidia 61.77 non WHQL?

Yeah, I thought it was pretty damn high too. Not using anything that I would consider a tweak. I did a clean system install, refused to install SP2 again, ran registrymechanic, that was about it. I can't think of anything else I did that was out of the ordinary. I'll try and run another...

65.76, 3.0c, gt @ 350/1000 first run got 4495.

Huh strange.... I got 4495 with 65.76, 3.0c stock, gt stock @ 350/1000. That's the same as your system overclocked.

My main board? What is that? Different than my motherboard? I checked my probe settings, threshold is at 600, I can't imagine it is below that :)

Yes the power unit works fine. I have read that the power fan can run too slow for the Asus probe to detect it working, but I would assume that would make it say "below threshold" and not "not detected". I don't know, I'm puzzled. I guess it could just not work, not that it really matters...

Hello. My problem is since getting my computer up and running it has not been able to detect the power fan speed. I have an Antec Trupower 480w blue and it has a three pin connector that I connected to the power fan monitor connector on my motherboard (on the left of the heatsink) but it...

I had lots of video problems with Windows Media Player 10 after installing GordianKnott codec installer. That might be the problem if u did that.
