Heat Issues with Nvidia FW 77.72

Sound suggestions, i think i will update my drivers. As for cooling, I wanted to wait until it was completely neccessary to say, replace the VGA cooler. Methinks i should have just gotten the 800xl Ultimate... Im pretty sure that 2D settings are set to default clock speeds (350/1000 for the...

Heat Issues with Nvidia FW 77.72

Perhaps this has been brough up earlier, but has anyone been having heat issues with there nVidia cards? Ive got an xFx 6800gt PCIe. Although I am quite happy with the performance, i find that the card runs a little hot idle AND under load (58c no oc idle to 85c max oc'd). I contacted xfx...

Doomed: How id Lost Its Crown

Far Cry is mediocre IMO. Storyline is kinda dumb. As for the Doom 3 engine, the point of the game was to create a haunting and tense enviroment and to set a certain mood. I seriously doubt, though, that only 1/100th of the engine goes to action, but i guess you are just exaggerating...I...

Buying an XBOX 360??

Man I STILL play that game :o With all game systems tho, I would probably wait till you see some good titles pop up before deciding. Unlike with PC's, consoles are defined by the games it can run. Of course, we can just hope that there will be both 360 to PC ports and vice versa :D

whats bluetooth for?

Yes, its a wireless connection to your PC, assuming you have the correct adapter. You can exchange info such as contach information and calendars. On a side note, wireless keyboard/mice using bluetooth have almost no input delay, a vast improvement on the standard wi fi wireless...

Ressurecting Zombie Dogs From Brain-Dead State

Well none of these experiments had animals that were THAT dead, imean, we all think of zombies as things that have been dead for a long time, with highly decomposed bodies. These animals where simply revived, its like that movie where a bunch of ppl "kill" and revive each other to research what...

Cool case?

If you want better cooling, a side fan helps. I vote for a thermaltake tsunami, or maybe a Xaser III Damier.

Will this RAM run dual-channel?

I'm 99% sure that their value memory (like most other value memory) isnt dual channel. If you want my suggestion, either get 2x512 mb DC dimms with a low latency rating (2=intel, 2.5=amd lowest) or get 1x1gb dimm and upgrade later. I'd honestly suggest 2x512, because upgrading to 2 gigs from 1...

Geforce 7800 GTX AGP Petition

I think that getting the type of bandwith that the 7800 needs to truly shine, with an AGP connection would waste too much time and money for nVidia. Sorry but i think your cries of help and bloody murder will fall on deaf ears. Good luck tho!
