Geforce 8800gtx drivers.. No x64 XP support?

Ah.. thanks for the suggestion. I came across x64 versions of the 96.89 on Guru3d; just installed them.. Shows up as 8800gtx in NV control panel.. I'm gonna try out NFS carbon and Dark Messiah along with 3dmark 06. By the way, that links shows it's for vista.. Think that would work?

Geforce 8800gtx drivers.. No x64 XP support?

So I walked in to Fry's today and picked up a Evga Geforce 8800GTX for $649. This is the first time I've boughten a graphic card at launch. So I make some room in my case (the card is freaking huge) and locate 2 extra molex plugs and pop in the CD. Looks like they are shipping Forceware 97.02 on...

Need For Speed: Carbon Collector Edi. PC DVD $29.99

Well, I picked up a copy of NFS: Carbon from the best buy over in Westwood last night. So far, I like it. It is very similar to most wanted, regarding cop chases and crashing stuff. But the art design is more like the prior underground titles. Performance could be a little better. Running 1280 *...

I have the same monitor... It only says digital when the resolution changes. It goes away after a few seconds. Try running all your games in native 1440*900 and check the menu settings as well.

I need a Socket 754 PCI-e Motherboard...

I was in the same position a few weeks go. After much searching, I decided to get a ULI M1697 based chipset motherboard. IMO much better layout and desgin than most NF4 pic-e avaiable for socket 754. ULI has good OC options (even though my newcastle core and cheap RAM limit it) and it is very...

"Tomb Raider: Legend" Thoughts

Found this thread... thought I'd comment. So I have a socket 754 3000, 1GB DDR400 and a 7900GT CO, I keep experiencing hitches with next generation content turned on. Game is patched to 1.2 and running the latest forceware. I see that the game recommends a 512 video card, so I guess I need to...

Is this monitor any good for the price?

Well, the refresh rate is automatically set by windows. You can change it in the Nvidia control panel. For games, the monitor will automatically stretch the image. Every game I have tried, I've been able to use 1440 *& 900. Latest game I tried is Splinter cell 3 on x64 xp. I had to alter the...

I haven't messed with settings in the menu yet, no drivers on CD. Just a manual on the CD. Pretty much plug and play.

Is this monitor any good for the price?

By the way, I would have gotten the model with no speakers, but it was 10 bucks more on Newegg. It uses the same panel. Here is my review from Newegg. Pros: Well it is a very bright display (Factory defaults are maxed out).Colors are extremely vivid and lush. You will not find another lcd...

Yo PainhammeR: I just bought that monitor from newegg. Well I actually got the one with speakers since it was cheaper on newegg, but it is the same panel. Get it. I bought one and I am very impressed. I am coming from a 19' CRT and it is outstanding. No ghosting in any FPS games I've...

Purchasing a recertified EVGA 7800?

Well thanks for the feedback guys. It sounds like the 7900Gt is the way to go for 50 bucks more. So I decided to downgrade my lcd purchase to the Hanns-G 19 LCD w/dvi (5ms 1440 x 900 700:1) I think that will hold me over until the next generation 21 and 24 lcds come out next year. From the...
