Ok need some help. I picked up a PNY 6800GT from compusa to replace my 9800pro. I ran drivercleaner and then installed my 6800gt. Everything works great... I install the coolbits 2.0 reg file and get my overclocking options, but nowhere do I see a temperature readout panel on the 6800 tab in advanced display settings.... SO at the advice of someone from another thread I checked the coolbits reg file and everything seems fine. So I install the new version of speedfan... all it detects is my motherboard sensors... Does this mean my cards sensor is fubared? I did try overclocking and it auto detected at 417 - 1.1 and ran 3dmark03 at 10848..

Also I downloaded the nadu demo and it wont run... DO I need DirectX9c to run the demo?

Specs:
Abit AT7-Max2
1 gig pc 2700
AMD AthlonXP 2400+ at 2.167

Any help is appreciated..

Thanks!

Well I have put a fork in it cause its done... I will either be returning it to COmpUSA or RMA it to PNY. I tried everything.. another machine fresh install etc. nothing worked. ALso I downloaded some Demos from Nvidia's Site and they lock up 1/2 a second in to it. I also installed Quake 3 and it locks up when trying to change the resolution to anything other than 640x480.... Weird how DIrect3d stuff runs perfect... Oh well....

Have you tried different drivers?

Yup 4 different driver versions... In regards to PNY problems.. I still think they make a good product. OrionNT has 2 PNY cards that both do Ultra Speeds and mine autodetected as well at over Ultra Speeds... I think once i get a new one all will be well.
