Abit KX7-333 (doesn't have all bells and whistles but I don't need them just a good board that can overclock well)
512mb PC2700...
:confused: 6581 ..........using 3Dmark2001 SE...........not great but acceptable
My semi-outdated rig.......
Amd TBird 850@933
Abit KT7A
256MB Crucial cas 2 133
Sblive x-gamer
Radeon 8500 (no oc yet)
WD 15.3 HD
Antec case & power
WinXP
yes, does it with composite as well. Tv is a 27" trinitron just for info. Haven't really had time to play around with too much. Gonna try getting puter closer to tv so I can shorten the lenght of cable. Maybe disconnect home theater, lamps, etc. Then see if I can pinpoint the culprit...
Need a little more info. could number of things. What kind of monitor? Using vga port or dvi port? Using dual monitor mode? Is this happening when it posts or when in windows? If it posts fine and tweaks in windows then driver, settings, or install prob.
Hoping I could get a little advice on same subject without startin' another thread.
Just got radeon 8500 retail using s-video out 2 s-video in on tv. Looks very good except for interference bar that constantly starts at bottom and slowly goes up. Is this just how it is or is there ways of...
One more thing of note. I due recall reading some pc magazine (don't recall which one) having a 4 page article about the voodoo 4 & 5 in great detail a year before their release. This was a huge mistake as well. Anyone reading this would put their money back in their wallet and wait for a...
Going to buy a retail radeon 8500. Just seeing if there are going to be any dramatic price changes in next month or so. Staying away from oem bit too mysterious plus always love the bundled soft. with retail. Right now I think it's around $230 but not dropping much lately just need a heads up...
My advice is save some more money and get a gf3 or radeon 8500 nothing less. With the system u got it would be a waste to get anything less. Doesn't matter how much cpu or ram u got, if your video card suks your graphics will suk. Example: my friend got one of those bundle systems with...
Thanks for the replies guys, I was leaning toward the radeon but just had to make sure, saw some other replies saying it's video was
crap though I didn't believe this, had to make sure. Been using my faithful voodoo 3 this last week since my gf2 went down. Though the
graphics aren't even...
I posted a message earlier but I think it was too general.
Basically I'm trying to decide on getting either a "oem" radeon 8500 or gf3 ti200 both are around $150 -170 and just fit my budget. Fps
in games is important but not the deciding factor since both these cards will handle any game...
Hey all well my msi gf2 pro 64mb died, well I killed it, anyway need some advice on a new card.
Considering the ati 8500le $166 or gainward gf3 ti 200 $154.
I like to play games, in addition I like watching downloaded music videos fullscreen, and using the tv out as well.
One thing I noticed...
Recently I just started messing around with the tv-out of my gf2 pro. It's connected s-video out from card to s-video in on tv. Looks pretty good, not outstanding, but ok. Except for the dang interfernece bar that slowly starts at bottom and moves up to the top repeatdly. Is this something...
What do u have against third party software? Nvidia refresh rate fix is a great program set it up once and that's it until u decide to change the drivers. If u don't want to do this there is one other way with a pro and con. In dxdiag u can override the refresh to whatever u want so there's...
