Racedriver GRID got some issue with Vista?? Just OK played in Xp, but go application not responding in Vista..

Helo guys... its been a long time since my last visit.. bdband probs..

Got some Q here..
I'm planning upgrading to i7 by this year end, ive done my calculation, around Rm5K to be spend on i7, meaning i gonna biuld the setup from sratch..

OR if i just upgrade my GPU to...say.... GTX285?? And a HDMi 24" LCD Mon...

Which one is more considerable??

Is it worth go from my current CPU to i7???

COZ ive just read at some other forum says that upgrading GPU is more advisable than spending more on i7 (standard speed)... coz they say E6600 OC to 3.2, 3.5 even 3.6ghz is enough to process todays latest games.. because games is more utilise GPU rather than CPU...

U guys can see my sig.. ive manage OC my old E6600 to 3.26ghz.. more than that, it'll crashhh...

GT300??? Never heard that news.. so busy working and bdband kong...
I'll try google now..
If its true.. whats the price tag than?? 2k??

And i guess im gonna quit SLI for a while... Coz a single GTX285 is on par or more slightly than my current SLi'ed 8800GT rght??

Some probs here..
Ive just update my GPU driver to ver. 190.38 whql.. it went fine but i cannot tune the gpu clockspeed in rivatuner..
Is this normal or i just need to get other OC software?
Can u guys reccommend me any?

IC....
Is this software can control gpu setting like rivatuner??

OK!!!
I will try donlod it now!
Thanx Regentcid!

NIce tip there bro.. thanx..

Anyway.. this is my future plan: can or not my current PSU to support dual gtx285??
I'm using Corsair HX620 and do a little OC on my system...

So need to get at least 850w psu?? If single GTX285 no prob is it??

Well in that case i just gonna get a 1kW Psu and a GTX285 then..... thanx for the oppnion.

Helo bro..

What the diff of GTX285 between Asus and XFX?? It has the same spec but i saw at lowyat plaza the price diff is around RM200+-

Bro... if u have the ringgit then just get the 1k PSU.. like they say, FUTURE PROOF...

Helo guys...

Has anyone here experiencing probs with SLI setup in Win7??

Mine, i just upgrade to Win7 as u guys can see at my siggy.. but i cant seems to enable my Gpu to Sli coz i dont know some how no Nvidia Control Panel available at my start up or anywhere..

My current driver is 195.62 whql just dwnload it from Nvida webs...

And for u guys info, i found in google says that Win7 has some issue in SLI.. lot of pips out there asking the same kind of probs.. no SLi in Win7!...

*stevenlee
Tried that.. no cant see it there...

Well i try reinstalling my chipset driver and the gpu driver... now im waiting driver 195.81 from 3dguru finished.. its beta, but im gonna try it..

*Demonic
Coz, when im installed ver 195.62 which i got from nvidia webs, sys says not recognize it.. but i just click on ''continue anyway''.. i guess that might be the cause of the probs..

@DEMONIC

Mine is desktop.. i have use driver sweeper to clean all the drivers including chipset.. but still no control panel for Nvida allocate anywhere.. even in the sys control panel..

@demonic..

Ive done ur tips but still no Nvidia control panel..

BUT! ive clean up the display driver and reinstalled it.. the installer give a msg: 'the system has not being modified. please install the driver later'. what is that suppose to mean? When i cx at gpuz yes its stated 195.62 there.. how come? i try reinstalling the driver 2-3 times but the msg still appeared.. even after rebooting..

I had enough la with Win7 ... this new windows is superb in loading speed (less then 30sec it load up win) and i very like to its slideshow wallpaper.. but.. sads to say its so buggy with Nvidia gpu.. (like mines)

Myb the newer gpu dont have the issue on it with win7 but for a 8800gt user and older gpu like me, i guarantee so much probs will occur..
Not just that, i found soooo many user/forumer outside there (in the webs) are facing the same probs like me.. such as, no nividia control panel, cannot enable sli functions... hang up when gaming in sli's, ect.. And almost all their question, don have the right solutions.. even Nvidia techiess didn't reply the posts, now why is that??hisshh thats it lahh..

If u guys dont believe me, try surf at nvida.forum or google Win7 Sli prob..

I revert back to my old Vista 32bit... its quite slow moo but... so stable in gaming and sli's..
I hope those NViDIA techiess will counter this issue later on.. but in meanwhile, i choose Vista is way more SLI FRIENDLY for SLi gamer like me..
SO, from my point of view, just 2days with my Win7, i would say that Win7 is FAST BUT, for SLI USER LIKE ME, U guys better stay away from Win7 for the time being...

Until they (nVidia) figure out something (or nothing)

Guys

Ive decided to wait for GT300 series to come.. then myb i go for it and plug Win7 to my Rig.. hehehe

But one Q, is it a large diff if i use vista 64bit if compare to my 32bit now??
Coz we know that 64bit can utilize all my 4gb rams is it? I know theres some Q about this matter but no harm if can discuss it again right??

Coz im OC my proc always and oc my gpu when gaming only.. but let my rams at its standard speed.. cause if i oc my rams, BSOD occured..even ive add voltage to the rams and oso to the NB, so is it might be my rams is not fully utilize 4gb in 32bit win is the cause of unstable result when OC full sys?

Is it my current PSU cant support such setup?? But ive done calculating use PSU calculator but the result is sufficient..

Ive don memtest on my rams and it is in good shape.

But.. sometimes when shutdown my PC, its go to BSOD. its not so frequent but sometimes only.
