lolz..."rock solid heart touching" is asus punya tagline, so definately it's a asus card.

i also wanna know. coz looking at 8800gt 256mb prices now, they're super cheap. less than rm500 only. my only worry is that will it run games smoothly at 19" widescreen (1440x900)? and futhermore, with newer games coming out soon, i'm afraid 256mb wouldn/t be sufficient for all the high textures used in those new games. now also got many models to choose from, 8800gs, 9600gso, 9600gt, HD3850, all around that price range.

1440x900 can be considered high reso? normally i dun apply AA in games, unless it's already applied by default.

mmm...good idea also heh..nearly forgotten i using sli board

thnx for the advice Is there a possiblity that 8800gt price will drop summore? since the new nvidia cards are gonna be out soon..

will a 380W psu able to power up the 8800gt? getting one soon, but i'm still stuck with my 380W psu.

i'm not sure about the amperagare wor..where can i find out? izit written on the label of the psu?

if not mistaken the figure is around ~10A for 12V rail. obviously not enough power for the card rite?

i'm having some problem here. i don't know why my 8800gt crashes whenever i play PES2008. it happens randomly, sometimes after 1game, sometimes after 2-3 games. weird enough, it only happens when i play this game. when i play other games this problem does not happen. there's one time i manage to see the popup message, saying that nv4_disp.dll has stopped working. i've reverted to older drivers, and drivers, from the manufacturer, and also the latest drivers. all still did not solve the problem. i ran 3d mark06 for few times, and also atitool artifact scanning for about 30mins, both ran smoothly, never produced any error. the sample of artifacts/ corrupted graphics is in this thread:

my gc is pre-oced to 660mhz..i got try a lil bit oc with ati tool, then did some artifact scanning and then revert back to deafult clocks, 660Mhz. do i need to downclock it? i heard some 8800gt got problems whrn oc

izit the gc running too hot until it auto shut off?

so you suggest that i downclock my gc?

after downclock to 600MHz core and 1800MHz memory no problem already, for now..hehe. i've also updated to msi's 175.16 driver. so consider problem solved, temporary..will continue to test with PES..

one more thing, how come must downclock only ok? what's wrong with the oc speed? i heard some 8800GT also face this problem. please enlighten me on this.

i also scared scared le. but it's factory oc-ed already wor. how come it happens like that?

yes, i lowered down the core and memory clock to 600MHz and 900Mhz respectively. so far tested with PES. played more than 2-3 games, no problems so far. so basically it's hardware issue? but nothing wrong with my gc rite? just that the chips can stand the oc?

i've tested mine with atitool, highest clock it can detect is 710MHz too..different ram chips have different oc-ability rite?

oh really? din know much about atitool, just recently use it only. got another question, how come only PES2008 is affected and cause artifacts, while other games dont? other games like vegas 2, dmc4,grid..etc

i see. can provide some links please?

yes. 175.16 got problems?

i had no problems with any other games no matter what drivers i use. seems to me only PES2008 is the problematic game..
