do you have a link? and im just wanting to uninstall an old 8600gt when i get the 8800. both are Nvidia.

[werth]

meh just uninstall the drivers via control panel, reboot, install card, install drivers, reboot

[DriveRaider]

heres the website for warranty info, it says VGA cards with Nvidia chipset have a warranty of 36months parts and 24 months parts and labor. thats pretty good right? also, i cant seem to find the cards Core, memory, and shader clocks anywhere. I wonder why ECS is hiding this information.

[DriveRaider]

ok, its been ordered. its coming in 3 days. ill post my 3dmark06 scores when it comes.

[pcgamer]

nice! congrats you will see a HUGE HUGE HUGE difference in game performance btw

[DriveRaider]

=D i cant wait to test this puppy. it should be here friday. i was abit skeptical about the price and the company but i heard that they are all made by nvidia anyways, this is just a reseller. and they are based out of miami, thats where i live. so if it craps out on me ill just light their headquarters on fire.

i was talking to some people and they were saying that my E2180 would bottleneck my CPU, do you guys think it could be that big of a bottleneck? my e2180 has a conroe core and is overclocked to 2.8ghz.

[werth]

meh at stock maybe at 2.8 it should be fine. maybe a SMALL bottleneck nothing to worry about. its all about the gpu nowadays as long as you have a semi-decent cpu which you do.

[DriveRaider]

does this PCB temp mean the actual temp of the PCB? because 190c is friggin hot

[werth]

why does it have 2 for each?

[DriveRaider]

iono, thats why im asking you

[pcgamer]

bug... it can't be 190 .. its not possible

just to make sure touch the card, if you end up with 1st degree burns then there is something wrong

i use this method on all my components

[DriveRaider]

also, there is this faint high pitch squeel when i play graphically intensive games. is that normal?

[pcgamer]

yeah its normal for some stock coolers... they blow ... i never kept a stock cooler on any of my cards (fx5200, 6600GT, 7900GS, 8800GT)

[DriveRaider]

i would like to change it too but it voids the warranty >_< ill just have to wait until 2 years is up. keeps it cool though, 45C idle 58c load
