9800GTX suit your budget

hye there all.

i have recently bought Palit GTX285

i've downloaded the latest Nvidia driver for my vista 64-bit. 182.08.

before installing,i already uninstalled the previous driver.i even disabled anti virus.then, when i tried to install the new driver,it takes about 5mins to install which is longer than usual.then finally,it says

"The system has not been modified. To install this program at a later time, run the installation again. Click Finish to exit the wizard."

after rebooting my pc, i can use the GPU as if the driver is installed properly.running 3D Mark 06 with ease.

what is the cause of the problem here actually?why it says system has not been modified?

try run some game..and try right click desktop..if got nvida control panel then already lor..just ignore the notice
otherwise reinstall

try redownload the driver and reinstall again, make sure all old drivers are removed b4 u do that. btw ur sig says Palit Geforce GTX285 1GB DDR2.

redownload??hmm..will do.right away!!

owh sry bout that.typo plak. =.="

btw bro,ur using palit gtx285 also? didnt have any trouble installing the driver is it? how bout OC? care to share a bit? thx..

Where to look my psu..??

And yea planning to upgrade my ram to 2GB too...

9800GT suit for u..but ur budget is RM500 right??
i think 9800gtx is the best one..price maybe around that..but make sure u OC your processor a bit la

9800GX2?..its rare item now..hard to find..
but your processor really weak..should upgrade to E7300/E8400

so u mean 9800GTX better than GX2??

btw, aiyya dun wan upgrade processor la... Budget only like rm600 only. But will my processor cost any trouble to nvdia GC??

celeron nia..2.5ghz..i forgot..is that dual core??u can wait other forummer help u about processor
nah..i dont mean 9800GTX is better than 9800GX2..9800GX2 is better..but where u want to find it??..last time check at lyp..all shop x da..

'celeron nia...2.5ghz...' Wat that means? Bad? Gud??

btw, its single core...

err..not good loh if u want pair it with 9800GTX/9800GX2..lets say bottleneck
your graphic card can run 100% but your processor only 1 core@2.5ghz..this will slow down your gaming fps almost 2x
so if u want your gc run at 100% perfomance then u should upgrade your processor

with RM600
E5200 =250
Asus 9600GT = RM350(maybe higher)

=RM600 fit

Aiyaa then want to upgrade ram to 2gb and increase my hdd to 90GB... Exceed rm600...e.e

btw, why 'Asus'... not 'nvidia'??

Asus is the manufacturer.
Nvidia is the one who make the chips ( gpu core ), and sell licenses to manufacturer like asus, gigabyte , evga, xfx, palit ... etc .

Dun forget the PLUS guyz...hehe..laster got misleading...

9800gtx EOL d...now replace with 9800gtx+..or even better new GTS250.. xD

haha, i havent even really used the card for a week, im currently in kampar, my rig is in johore. but i dont think i'll oc it yet, the card runs hot for me, i mean, i know 80C is normal for these kinda gpu but its still too hot for me btw my driver works fine for me. (previously i was using 8600gt, which was using the same driver as my gtx285, well i decided to uninstall and reinstall it anyway when i got my 285; what i did was, i uninstall nvidia physx, uninstall nvidia drivers, restart, go safe mode, delete the remaining nvidia folder, uninstall display drivers (in device manager), restart, install the latest drivers, restart)
ah, and oh ya, i didnt even install the bundled software that came with the box, i think its some palit software or something, never really bothered what's inside that cd.

ooo u did like that one? icic. i'll do the same thing then later.. i also never use the cd provided lol.

also should consider your PSU, will it enough to power up 9800GX2, it really Power-Hungry & need a 6-pin & a 8 pin power socket.
correct me if i'm wrong.
