![]() Downloaded new Drivers from Nvidia and no more overclocking problems.ĭDR2 has NOT proven to be a con with this card!!! Even beat my friends stock 8800gt in all benchmarks with AA in the same system.Ĭons: Not much! Included drivers worked great out of the box but didn't seem to like overclocking well. Amazing price vs performance but don't let that fool ya, this thing just kills it. The extra ram really helps with higher resolutions and AA (even in Crysis I got ZERO frame loss regardless of AA settings in the benchmarks) 3dMark06 scores over 11500 consistently with 2g ram and amd 5000+X2 clocked to 2.99ghz. Haven't tried to bump up the ram since it's DDR2 (still doin' some research on that one) I set the fan speed to 45% with Riv*tu~er and under load with overclocking it never gets over 55c. Overclocked core to 675 and shaders 1550. It's fairly large but nothing that anyone should be surprised about. I have an acrylic case that has 4 case fans and my system temp rarely goes beyond 32c, and my processor cores rarely reach past 47c.Pros: Runs Crysis gpu benchmark all settings on high, Directx9.c, 4x AA (could do 8x) 25-30 FPS AVE!!! For the cash this thing really gets it done. I did 2 different mem tests and both say my RAM is fine. I have proper drivers for everything installed in device manager, i even back tracked a couple of drivers with my video card/chipset to see if the problem persists and it does regardless of what dates i try. I am using the latest drivers for my video card from NVIDIA (XFX drivers seemed to exacerbate this freeze issue). My Bios/chipset are all updated by MSI website. In basic mode i notice it happens when i play a movie (any video player does this) and decide i want to fullscreen it, only then does it happen, when i resize a video being played. Now i am noticing that if i have to use anything related to directx or direct3d my screen freezes with crazy pinkish colors and then my video card just turns off. ![]() ![]() I am currently using the basic theme setting so i can still use my computer. Ok before i begin i will state my system specs off the bat Antec Earthwatts 650w K9N2 SLI Platinum Mainboard AMD Phenom 9650 Quadcore cpu XFX GeForce 9600 GSO 4GB DDR2 RAM Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500G I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit clean install and for some odd reason i can no longer use Aero based themes (even with transparency etc. ![]()
