If you hate the new control panel, then try this registry tweak to bring back the good 'ol control panel! Navigate to [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\NvCplApi\Policies] "ContextUIPolicy"=dword:00000002 Change the value to 1 (worked for me for the 169.21 drivers) enjo...

Update: Got it working...seems I had edited the .cfg file incorrectly :s mackme So, in summary, to get it working w/ the GTS, add 600h to the G92 line under [GPU_10DE]: G92 = 610h-61Fh,600h Then under the power user tab, add the value "3" to RivaTuner \ Fan --> AutoFanSpeedControl, and res...

Question for you guys...I recently bought an eVGA 8800GTS 512 (G92) card. Installed the 169.21's & then Rivatuner 2.06. Since this card is so new, you have to tweak the rivatuner.cfg file so that it sees the card. I've done that, and then added a "3" in the Power User/fan section to en...

Ho Ho Ho, send it to Santa I'll deliver it in a couple of weeks!

I never got that Colecovision back in '84, you bastard! :lol

Abit seems to be making a nice comeback w/ the IP35 series. The -E version is going for 95 bux shipped @ the Egg. There's rumors of a Dec $20 rebate, too. Then you're all set for Penryn, etc. Asus is on my sh!t list. I have a PCIe 6800GT that recently had resistors or god-knows-what literally fallin...

Sorry you got screwed by those Sheisters. Tks for the heads up, will avoid 'em like the plague

Just curious who you bought it from. If it's an e-tailer like Newegg, you may be able to get your $$ back if you complain. Worth a shot.

LOL...I wonder how may customers they lost to that Paypal fiasco.

Nice to see the forums are back! arty

11 mhz? that's pretty weird... must be a bug

Yep, I'm running SP1 too. btw, the vid card's headed your way...lmk when you get it. Thx!

Hey there Nuby, Yeah, I'm looking at an Assrock 775 Dual-Vsta, a 6400 and 2 Gigs of DDR2 (not sure what brand to buy, though), WD 320Gb SATA HD & keep the x800xl for the time being. Will re-use the Audigy & the NEC burner. (According to the Anandtech review, the Assrock wasn't the greatest o...

Yeah, I second FP's suggestion Interesting that one can run those cards in SLI. Joey, have you tried benchmarking your setup with some of the newer games (ie Doom 3/HL2)? I'm curious to see what framerates you're getting with that SLI setup. Thx man

I get 44.9. Not bad on this old card and my old P4 2.4 with 1 gig of pc2700 LOL. Yep that's about what I was getting with (your) 9800 Pro on system PC1 :) Even though I'm getting 74 FPS, the timedemo doesn't seem to reflect real world gameplay. Even when just siteseeing & walking around in the ...

Thanks Charlie!

Not bad for a backup card, eh?

Sold to Executioner!

Prices lowered. Nobody wants a cheap 9800 Pro? D'oh...
