new 186.18 doesnt give me ambient occlusion. summore after gaming my resolution is fcuked up. plus with 186.18 driver whenever i adjust ntune, no whenever i go in the "performance" tab my comp will bsod. im switching back to 185 drivers.

i see i tried the new 186 driver and its still the same...
but aparantly it fixed my prototype cutscene crash problem...

i dun dare try update driver
my mobo doesn't have integrated graphic card, uninstall old nvidia driver would make the screen become extremely ugly & hurt eyes
besides tat, last time after i updated driver Devil May Cry 4 will screen freeze sometimes during gameplay
now after i reformat whole pc, no more problems
i wait for u guys result & comment

Anyone?

cstkl1 had them SLIed b4.

Tried the new 186 driver...no sli profile for prototype.
what manual settings the best?

i skip it & wait till the next driver adds street fighter 4 profile

i felt that the first time when i switch 2 x1950pro from 8500gt last time still a nekkid card but the custom fan made it so huge and heavy don't know how the latest feeling will be when i switch 2 GTX from ATI

so far i have no prob
what games give u a problem?

haha.i switched frm dis



to dis



imagine

I don't have the cards yet. Contemplating whether to get 2 x MSi GTX285 SuperPipe OC, or 3 x Sapphire 4890 Vapor-X.

Do you suffer any micro-stutters in any games? I mean like, even if you get high FPS (which obviously you will), does if feel like it lags a little?

i switch from Asus 8500gt to Palit GTX 260 similar to u

I switched from Zotac Geforce 8800GT to Palit GTX285 earlier this year.

Had to replace the GPU cooler with 3rd party coolers, didn't really like the stock coolers.

switched from 8600gt to gtx285 too was looking for your particular 3rd party cooler and seems like there's only one in malaysia. the gpu is blocking and heating up my case airflow. making my northbridge and southbridge and proc temp goes very high, especially during gaming, my whole room is affected and feels like sauna. btw bro kianweic, have you tried out the latest nvidia driver? does the ambient occlusion work for you? it doesnt work for me tho.

Nah, I have yet to try the new drivers. Been busy working and working out.

I usually play games on the weekend.

Earlier today, I managed to replace my Zalman GPU cooler with Xigmatek Battle Axe for my dad's Zotac Geforce 8800GT.

Check it out in the Xigmatek thread.

currently the only available 3rd party cooler for gtx series (except 295) is the ac accelero xtreme gtx oni.and its not cheap + quite huge oso

How much higher can you guys overclock the cards with the 3rd party GPU coolers, as compared to the reference cooling?

And it's massive! Absolutely no SLI setups will be allowed with it installed. To me that's a huge deal breaker. I'd rather go for cards with manufacturer improved cooling, like MSi's SuperPipe technology. Better cooling (though not as good as the 3rd party add-on), with SLI capabilities.

I was using big huge Thermalright HR03 on my 8800GTX SLI no probs mar. Can even choose to put the radiator on top or under the cards. I was so sad to remove them for 3 way SLI. Superb coolers they were.

Are the huge 3rd party GPU coolers necessary though? I mean for moderate overclocking and gaming.

I'm hoping Sapphire's Vapor-X cooling will be enough for my 3 card setup

sapphire's vapor-x is good

but wait,i though sapphire only make ati cards ?
