swt...dunno why like cannot post properly one..wanted to post something just now but got redirected back to main page...

yeah, flash cannot do stress test la, normally hardware decode doesnt stress GPU so much one..

off topic a bit..legion movie how? i heard it sucks from friends and internet

@want: u see..folding, i don consider stressing GPU also, gives me a mere 82C on average...and HD playback, 1080p somemore, my GPU temp is just 69C...so u can pretty much get the idea of how much work ur GPU does la..
i even use EVGA Precision to trace GPU load, i think it's never higher then 20%

err...air con room...
mine before i bend the heatsink was around 76C ler..with the 195 driver..

at least got warranty la...and after change also, i think they will extend few months for the graphic card warranty..or nego a bit can 'transform' ur s41 to s41.5..then no worry lo

actually it's a good alternative la..u see, u get more performance, no worry on kaput GPU also..but heat wise..err..if you're ok with peak gaming temp to be somewhere near or above 90C, then that's totally no problem with it

DAO should be same as the original one?

alright...updated my siggy...hope my score will increase fast..haha

lol..calm down...s42 is good enough

using for 2 months, selling 2.8k, check his siggy

lol i came home and notice my GPU was at 92C folding temp...i guess is too hot for too long liao..haha

omg....u ok??
about the laptop..try to tell them it's accident lo..prolly benq got accident warranty also?

if got the part, can finish in 1-2 weeks time la
but if don have, have to wait the part from penang, or ship ur laptop to penang fix and send back..those sort prolly take 3 week or even more

@want: u using what laptop again? and which driver? iirc DoX's driver by default don have physX one..maybe if u are using it, that's why GPU-Z shows disabled...u can try download it from NV site

btw: it's monza, *ahem ahem* not mia, and he is always that early..haha

Added on February 4, 2010, 9:26 amwow...today check my siggy here, then only notice my folding score raise till 1.8k liao..hehe..
too bad today slightly overslept, no time turn on laptop..hehe, saturday i fold both laptop and desktop..hehehe

lol i think i stole from someone else last time also...so go ahead..i even forgot to change my CPU model until 2-3 weeks later suddenly notice lol

actually can use physx also with DoX's driver, just need to download the physx software driver from official site and install it, can download separately one...

so far i don think have any la, but s42 cannot handle physx one...u install also no use, see slideshow in game

yeah...our card is not barely powerful to be a physx dedicated subcard(means just calculate physx only), let alone rendering both physx claculation and graphics together..

that alienware, for now, it would be CPU bottlenecked, but in the future, it will not..as games move more and more to GPU, and also, with OpenCL existing and look promising, GPU can also help in general processing, so CPU would have far less task in future gaming

shader processor, a.k.a shader core

still waiting GF-100 to come out..since they mention it's more optimized for folding..

oh ya, if i get a GF-100 card, let's say GTX-460, will it be bottlenecked by PCE-E x16 1.1?

but then cards like 4870x2 would require PCE-E x16 2.0 right? i just sked later got bottlenecked..haha
thanks a lot, now i can safely wait for fermi to come out
