lol, you are merely repeating what RegentCid has stated.

I was intepreting RegentCid's statement since his statement is not that clear and yes, theoratically speaking 55nm is better but actual tests conducted by our fellow forumers shows that 65nm is more superior than 55nm in terms of OCing abilities bcos of the voltage control....

But Also Having 1Year Retail Warranty What.. Why Not Give A Try ?

Coz Not Cheap Enough Right? doh.gif

I have 3 cards already la.... What for I go buy???? Quad SLi ka???? laugh.gif laugh.gif

Even if I'm short of 1 card, I will not buy refurbished products.... Better save the money to get something else.... Here's the reason why.....

From my experience, refurbished products might break down more often if u get those that are repaired..... If customer returns, then different story la.... But what are the chances of u getting the better ones???? It's like a million to one.... So, better not risk it....

Can anyone suggest me a
nVidia GFX card for laptop.
Something in mid end.
256MB.

Just need FPS for my games.
*
I dun think this is possible since laptop graphics cards are always stuck together with the mobo although it is dedicated.... So, u r better off buying another laptop....

no problem dude
first test and see whether ure card can run

mine now is ftw..

y i like the evga is only because of the evga precision tools to monitor and control the gc temp etc..

last few pages a lot of rubbish from ppl who has so few cards and know nothing.
*
What's the frequencies of ur cards now??? So, how's the performance??? Also, how far did u try to OC ur GTX280s last time???

702.. about the same as the zotac amp version couldnt go higher
that time the voltage tuner thingy was not out yet so didnt try

Ic ic... Maybe I should try the voltage tuner if I hav the time....

a gtx280 can be overclocked as far as a gtx285 interms of cpu clock speed only
shader and especially mem speed.. gtx285 .. is king.
*
Ic ic... I think the only conclusion is GTX285 wins the GTX280 in terms of the shader and mem speed department, right???

Too bad u din try to vmod ur GTX280s to c whether can get better clocks.... Would like to c the results....

uik already got two for sli bro.. kekeke

one thing i do understand getting two gtx285 is really expensive
a gtx295 is 1.2-1.3k cheaper
a gtx260 tri-sli is also cheaper .
*
But performance will be better mah.... One thing I noticed about GTX295 is that it seems to struggle in keeping the FPS constant....

dont need
just vmod edit the bios and flash it.. whats so hard..
i normally hate software overclocks. cause its inconsistent and also depends on the software running int he background

yup gtx285, gtx260 55nm will never be able to ..
*
The onli good thing about software is that can test 1st before applying the settings to the bios....

I can't imagine going Tri SLI with stock coolers.

I reckon it is too hot with just two of them using stock coolers.

Maybe the GPU makers should stop designing cards that runs 70-80 celsius @ load.
*
It won't be too hot since they promoted Tri-SLI out of the box.... If like that, then NVIDIA can close shop.... I'll try that once my 3rd card reaches my hand....

may i ask....i need some clarification and opinions about BFG nvidia geforce cards..
worth getting one?
or getting nvidia geforce cards from xfx, galaxy, leadtek, zotac, gainward, etc are just the same..
apart from the pricing..
*
If u r purchasing stock clock cards, then any brand will do.... The onli difference is the warranty and also prices... If factory OCed, then choose the ones which are reputable...

The fans are more silent (altogether) than my Zalman CNPS9500 LED running at full speed or half full speed.

Unfortunately you won't be able to run Tri SLI with this, even dual SLI is a bit difficult if both cards use this cooler because it takes up slightly more than 2 slots. Also, make sure the casing is can accomodate it. I think most full tower casing would be.

Oh yeah, you gotta try Asus Xonar DX2 soundcard. It is a lot better than Creative X-Fi Xtreme Music I used previously. Clearer,crispier and not so boomy.
*
Then I hav no choice but to WC it lor.... Haihz....

Yeah... I know Xonar is better than X-Fi.... If I have the space, then I will try it... But for now, I think my SupremeFX is doing a great job.....

Is Deepcool blade heatsink better than Thermalright's Extreme 120?

Just asking because I remember that Deepcool Blade is like even heavier than Thermalright's one.

I'll upload the photo of the cooler in the casing later when I am free.

Yeah I guess you better go with watercooling. I probably go for watercooling if I were going for Tri-SLI as well.
*
I can say that the TRUE is better than this..... I'm already opting for WC... Now just waiting for my items to arrive.... Later I'll be thinking to WC my GCs... For now, CPU 1st....

Hi all,

Is there any methods / programs to permanent set my fan speed to 100% all the time?

Short of taking the wire out and plugging into the PSU. (I can't do this because the fan connector is different from the usual one)

Also, if I use the normal Nvidia control panel, the fan speed seems to revert back to 40% everytime I restart my PC.

*Please note that I am using the Nvidia Geforce GTX285.

Thank you.

U can use EVGA precision tool or rivatuner as stated and set the settings to apply during windows startup....

i have an old card which is the 7600GS. is it sufficient for me to play 1080p movies ?

i also went to nvidia's website to get a list of hdmi available cards but i think my comp got problem and the list didnt load. anyone got a list of graphic cards that are equipped with hdmi output from nvidia ?
*
I believe it is more than enuf just for movies.... Anyway, u dun actually require a hdmi output video card... U can buy a DVI-HDMI cable which directly plugs from ur video card to ur LCD TV since DVI and HDMI is the same anyway.... The onli difference is HDMI carries sound and DVI doesn't....
