With what reviews I have read, it seems that the best bang for buck is the GTX260 (216)... I wont go near ATi, have had bad experiences in the past so only Nvidia team for me. Which manufacturer would you recommend and what experiences have you had (if any?) from the likes of EVGA and BFG. The...

Hi, Just wondering if someone could shed some light son this for me. I am due to buy a new GPU soon, if I bought 2 x 9800GT's (512mb each) would this be the equivalent of a 512bit memory interface, 1Gb of GDDR3 and 224 stream processors and comparable to say the GTX260 or even maybe the...

Nice one for the fast reply. I only upgraded ealry last year in prep for crysis, so no plans as of yet to upgrade everything else. I am also aware that I will be limited on RAM as the system will have to account for the RAM present on the GPU, is that correct?

Hello everyone, Its a while since I last posted on here as I have not been on the pc scene for what seems ages. Anyway, time to upgrade from 7900GTX Sli to (and this is the part were I need you people) 8800GT Sli or GTX 260 216. Does anyone have any ideas? Much appreciated. Thanks in advance

8800GTS 512 These seem quite difficult to get hold of but how are they compared to the 8800GT? I heard a rumour too that they did not work very well in Sli, is this true?? With the small amount of memory in my machine will that be a bottleneck? Cheers

Thanks for the prompt reply, I have strayed away from ATI cards ever since buying a PowerColor 9600XT about 4 years ago and then it blew up!! I also was never convinced that the drivers were any good.. is this the case now!! There is this general perception all round that nvidia is the better...

Hi all, Anyone got any idea how these perform in Sli and would my system be faced with any bottlenecks? Was actually looking at having 2 x 8800GTX's but not sure if power supply will take it? My monitor is a Samsung 226BW so it has native resolution of 1680 x 1050. If I am faced...

Hi, Does anyone have one of these fans? I have run into difficulty with it due to the 4-pin power adapter requirement. My board has only a 3-pin adapter! I attempted to use the fan just using three of the pins - on boot-up the fan initialises and begins to spin but then stops and the LED...

It is the first time I have attempted it really. Thought about the possibility many times in the past but always opted against. Anyway recently I made some system changes which resulted in a serious system crash, so if that sort of thing can happen on a basic setup I have opted to just take the...

I have had a scour over the net and I don't appear to be the first person who has experienced this. I was under the impression that this file was something from the XP installation disk not the RAID disk. How unreliable are floppy disks!!

Hi All, I would very much appreciate some help - I'm coming to the end of my tether and starting to wish that I'd never bought this mobo. I'm installing Win XP Pro SP2 onto a raid (0) array of WD Raptor 74GBs using the NF4 SLi controller. I'm pretty sure that the bios is set up right...

Hi everyone, Hopefully someone can shed some light on this for me. Attempted to install latest nvidia display drivers yesterday and after removing the old 169.21 attempted to install the new beta 169.44, only to be met with the message "the drivers of this installation cannot find any...

FX-60 Multiplier now enabled :) Turns out the cool n quiet function is the culprit. Now my multiplier and Vcore options are available after disabling it. Thanks for the info guys much appreciated.

CPU is detected at the correct clock speeds as is the multiplier on the information page about the processor. I will try that cool & quiet disable option thought thanks. Strange thing is that on this information page it actually states that the maximum multplier setting of this chip is 25x and...

The option states this exactly: FID/VID Change [Auto] -'auto is by default by the way' The options stated below only then become available if the above option is adjusted to [Manual] Processor frequency multiplier [8x] - 'I cannot see this figure but it is default according to manual'...

That's just it, the FID/VID option is displayed but is 'greyed out' as though the option is not available? I am really dissappointed as the processor is definately an FX-60. I must be missing something? I have just updated to the latest beta bios in hope that would solve the issue. But still its...

Hi all, Hopefully someone can help here. For some strange reason my multiplier option is not highlighted in my bios and I can neither increase or decrease it? The motherboard came with the latest bios pre-installed and the only other one available from Asus is a beta. I was looking forward...

Does that mean it gets reccommended a lot? :confused: Cheers

Ooops think I have been caught out with that before. Thanks :cool:

Thanks for that info. Just another quick question. when I first began building my system 2 years ago, the power supply I was going to go for back then was the Enermax noisetaker 701A 600W (wish I hadn't changed my mind at the last minute now, wouldn't have this problem!). Would this still be a...
