QUOTE(jeromeccm @ May 14 2007, 03:21 PM) ITW before this what card are you using? I am using a 6800GS 256MB ram. I just wonder if i change to 86GT whether got significant change or not.... if you have benchies for 3dMark 03,05,06 can share with here? thanks by the way i am on AMDX2 4600 on HT RAM before this i was using 6600gt 128mb galaxy zalman... already not functioning... ok i did some benchies for 05, everything in default mode... mayb is my old athlon64 1.8Ghz lowered the performance... i think need some1 with am2x2 series or core2 to run 3dMark again...

Asus 8600gt 256mb 1.4ns ddr3... core = 540Mhz, memory = 1400Mhz (700) stock setting... image from asus website... This post has been edited by ltw82: Jun 6 2007, 11:21 AM

QUOTE(ccm @ May 17 2007, 09:47 AM) 8600gt running everything default on lostplanetdx10 driver version 158.18 snow: 24 cave: 31 8600gt is a very good midrange card, can run almost all games i have on max setting with 1680*1050 res.. oblivion, stalker, cnc3, dark mersiah, dawn of magic, gothics3.. ) vote for this card;)) tht's nice... then i can play new games now... lost planet...

Regular Senior Member 1,166 posts Joined: Feb 2006	QUOTE(bata @ May 31 2007, 04:44 PM) IMHO, XFX offered much superior warranty lifetime warranty for 2 owners mean if you sold the card to the 2nd owner, they'll still get the warranty for BFG and EVGA, the warranty only applied to the 1st owner if you sold them right away, tadaaaaaa....the warranty is gone Chow. is tht neccesary two owner's warrenty...? change of new gc is so darn fast, wht's the point having life time warrenty...? later icchi hand sure go change new gc again, seldom see ppl use it for so long...

Regular Senior Member 1,166 posts Joined: Feb 2006	QUOTE(Eoma @ Jun 6 2007, 11:54 PM) OT: To play HD-DVD and Blu-ray titles on the PC at native high res, a HDCP supporting display and HDCP enabled display adapter@GPU is required. The content is encrypted, so the HDCP support is required both at the monitor@LCD and GPU level to play back the encrypted content. If either one is not HDCP compliant, the video and audio will be "forced" to play back at a lower quality scale or not at all. thx for the clarification on HDCP supporting specs... i wouldnt expect it require both LCD + gc to be HDCP compliant... guess i miss out HDCP feature for taking the 1st batch 8600gt...

And none of them has been rejected while RMA after changing heatsink fan and changing thermal paste. If you wanna change to 3rd party HSF, sure can, just remember when you wanna RMA, put back the original HSF lah, then send it back to the shop where you bought it. Put original HSF back on, then the warranty goes on like normal. Why you guys are so scared of it? It's not like they have the time to check 100% of the card either you did something to it. juz wan some confirmation from expert here oni... 1st time do this will be scare wan lah... RMA is one big headache for me...
