Well guys... thx for all the help but this POS is going back.

Nvidia sucks, back to ATI I go

Thats a shame. I'm sorry you had such a bad experience.

Sorry to hear about your troubles, possibly got a bad card.. I have a BFG 6800 GT and it rocks.. great overclocker 440/1150 up from 370/1000 which is up from the normal 350/1000.. scored 11905 for me in 3dmark03 @ 2.3ghz.. I've had no problems what so ever with my card..

im running the 61.71 drivers with XP sp2 installed..

you did hook up the molex right..? im sure but just asking..

 

[stratcatprowlin]

Which ATI card are you going to get?

 

[mattspalace]

Just curious, where did you get it, and who is the maker?
Are you SURE you have the AGP/PCI locked? What brand of PSU do you have?

oh well you get what you pay for.

I would expect more from a contributing member.. If you don't have anything helpful to say, the please keep your comments to yourself.

GUYS!!! You will never believe this one! At 2am in the morning, I was laying in bed and thought... maybe, just maybe... its not the card at all??? Soooo... I jump out of bed and toss it in the girlfriends system. And you know what? Works like a damn charm!

So... I cant blame Nvidia for this mess anymore and im not sure how the hell to fix the problem from this point on...

Thx for all the support! Any advice is great!!!

 

[stratcatprowlin]

lol great! have fun,I really am at a loss why it didnt work in your pc.

Have you tried a different PSU? Possible you aren't getting enough juice through your whole system.

Going back to what someone asked earlier, did you try it with ALL SETTINGS DEFAULT?!? You never answered that question for Nebulous. But that could also be an issue. Could be, I dont know intel systems that well. p3 was the last thing i messed with.
