i have also tryed with an old Packard Bell monitor!

thanks buddy...but its all been done before. 60hz is the only mode it supports, and i can only change the res in safe mode.

i have also done the un/re-install drivers routine for the monitor and...

I recently connected a crt monitor to an old rig. It works fine up till after the windows boot screen (ie. logon)...where it loses its picture and is black. Turning it on then off will make a big "No...

well nforce 4's are the best by far so i believe it! damn i want one :D

ahh it appears you are right :D learn something everyday :D

RIVAtuner...ill try to get some more info for ya!

thats a bummer, as RAM needs to be in Dual Sync (or something liek that term). I mean like if you have 2x512mb and then a single 256mb for 1.5gig the .5 of a gig will be wasted! i really want a...

9.5! all you need is 4gb of Ram (its possible), SLI 6600GT's OC'ed, a seperate HDD dedicated to windows pagefile and RAID 1 on 2 other HDD's (15k ones :D )! dw bout that man, urs is fully sick :D i...

RCrev is right! 9600pro isnt a bad card and can deliver some results. make sure you are benchmarking on games like Chronicles of Riddick, Doom3 and HL2. However if the CPU isnt powerful enough the...

thank you very much :D

@monkey magic

Im up in bris. I got my system from Computer Alliance. However (@oenone) I only bought a CPU, MOBO, GFX AND RAM (the rest was from my other computers) :D so i guess i didnt "buy" a...

i only have a 6600GT!!! i though i told u guys, rather than spend that much on a card, i got a whole new pc without the $900 6800gt?

just re-installed doom3 on the new PC, OMFG...hands down the best looking game ever! full settings it is between 40-60fps *jaw drops*

i get higher than that dude!

personally im not a fan of AMD! i couldn have got a diff mobo and an AMD but in my experience Intel is more stable!

rather that buy that card i go this whole system!!!! only a few hundred more than the card! The Hdd is my own!!! good price ey?

thx a lot! ill post my clock speeds and benchmarks when i get it!

a carbon fibre case would be sweeet! im gonna get a 550w and a cobra case + the Gainward in a week! cant wait :D

@rcrev

do you think it would be good enough to buy the cobra case i listed above with the 420 watt? or buy the case and PS sep, like oenone?

will do, thx a lot!

well the card needs a mere 350, so if i get a 500+, what will be the benefits? Is it simply more stable? I havent ordered yet, im actually going instore. I want this case and 420w PS...

@nenone, the cheapest i could find was $847, but once again my dad isnt a fan of shopping online, i am paying $889AU (686.712 USD) at one of the store close to me, but am getting a discount because...

Gainward PowerPack! Ultra/2600 TV-DVI-DVI

what is a good price (AU or US $ will be fine) btw? cos i cant seem to find too many cheap 1s!!!!

yeah im starting to shop around now and find the best price and packaging (freebies n stuff) for a 6800Ultra!

once again, how do i find out my power supply?

damn, looks like i wont get the PCI-E version so no SLI for me! As for how many games need it, i just looked at the benchmarks and they are nothing great!

hmm, maybe ill just go Ultra because technology wont catch up to it that quickly and im going to have SLI on my new PC!

also, i think that only Ultra is SLI compatible, im not sure wehter you can SLI with the GT?

Although i know that GT is worse than Ultra, how much? IE. frames per second difference in games (i know every game is coded different but a rough guess will be fine)

well we get ripped of ridiculously here for hardware and i really doubt i can get one for 470-510US :( :( :( the only place i can find bfg is ebay and they are cheap but im not getting it off ebay!

the quoted prices are AUD! and that (i think) is actually quite reasonable, now that you know this, do u think its still bad value? Ill prob get a Ultra and save a little on the highest ATI cards...

but each card cannot be overclocked equally!!! the Ultra basically a clocked version of the GT, so therefore you couldnt clock it too much more!

awww, crap! my ga-8Idml-C motherboard only has AGP4x support :( i know i can still put these cards in at 4x, but how drastic will the drop in graphic quality be?

check this out, it was released, and i think i might buy one! btw, which of the cards on this page is the best a) performance and b) value???
...

ok, soo X850XT is out of the question, but looking at some benchmarks of the X800XT PE (plat. ed.) that card seems to be quite a match for the GT Ultra, just wondering wether anyone hasthe X800XT PE...

My local PC store said they could order me in a X850XT post haste, and because it is better in DX9 i might sway towards it, unless ofcourse its PCI-E, cos i only have PCI!

@dark_omen, i sure...

well obvisouly if thats the only difference you could simply clock the GT to ultra core and memory frequencies couldnt you?

i know that i can get a hold of an x850XT so that is not a problem. As for PCI-E, if it was only PCI-E then i couldnt just pop it into a normal PCI slot in my PC (not where the old 1 was, i want 2!)...

Hey guys. For christmas i am getting a new gfx card, and am certainly going to the top end of the market! Just wondering which of the two cards above i should purchase? What are the pros/cons of...
