Yes and here it is ...... Passive: http://www.sparkle.com.tw/News/SP8800GTpassive/news_SP8800GT_passive_EN.html They also have Dual-Fan in case it hasn't been mentioned.. http://www.techmessenger.com/SPARKLE-Unveils-New-Calibre-P888-Graphic-Card-For-High-end-Gaming-071029007.html

What's so funny about that? Gainwood makes really great cards, they're just a little too long though and don't fit my case well. Here is a review of a Gainwood Geforce 3 .... :) http://www.ntcompatible.com/Gainwood_Geforce_3_Video_Card_Review_s5925.html

I think they were mis-directed to the US. On Monday the EVGA's and XFX cards were everywhere. Although they did sell out quite fast due to the overwhelming demand. My EVGA SC 8800GT is arriving tomorrow. I'm sure they'll show-up here soon however since Gibbo is all over it.

Yes very. Also went Vista 2 weeks ago. The IQ is amazing and I'm running everything with max settings without lag. Even my kids older games look great. Only one casualty after installing Vista. (My son's) Ultimate Spider-man won't work anymore. Immediate crash to desktop. Tried everything...

Finally gave in and went PCI-E a little over 3 weeks ago. I now have an MSI HD 2900 XT in my system now. Almost bought a 8800, but I really dig Red-Heads ........:D even 3D generated ones :eek:

Here's an ATI link to Certified Crossfire power supplies ...... http://ati.amd.com/technology/crossfire/buildyourown2.html For some reason the Corsair HX620 doesn't appear on the Crossfire Certified list, but it does for single card operation. I would think it would be quite capable with 3...

ATI Tray Tools http://www.guru3d.com/article/atitraytools/189/ I think that about covers it. :)

You're welcome Tom. I didn't realise it either until I started digging into Ace's problem. I had used the previous fix of renaming it.

Good Call UKRaven. Glad you got it working Ace.

OK, point taken. Didn't see that other post of his saying that. If that's the case you can delete or rename that file as discussed or here is a link to an updated DLL which will supposedly fix the problem as well. http://www.sapphiretech.com/en/downloads/3dmark/updated-direcpll-dll.zip

RavenUK, from what I read renaming or deleting the direcpll.dll file fixes the freeze at splash screen problem. Ace is getting a different error so I don't think that's going to work, but I guess it's worth a try though. However, I do agree with looking at the .net framework 2 or 3. Read that...

Seems you're not alone. Try using the ATI Uninstall Utility to remove the drivers and CCC, rather than going through Add Remove Programs. This has worked for a few people.

Sapphire X1950 Pro 512MB is the best bang for your buck. If you want the fastest, although not significantly, the XT would be the choice for another $40 or so. As Pie-eater said, for either card, you should also be prepared to upgrade your PSU if need be to a quality unit - $70-$100.

Actually I do play Quake4, Prey, and an oldie but goodie Doom3, just to name a few and the ocassional lags I use to experience with my Sapphire X1950 Pro 512MB card are now gone. Trust me, I had my reservations on going from a 512MB card to a 256MB card, but I was very pleasantly suprised. The...

Well, I won't argue with you there, but I'm gaiming at 1680 x 1050 and doing just fine with 256MB of GDDR3. Perhaps my 2GB of system ram is making up for it.

Also worth considering, but I tried the 7950GT 512MB which is faster than the GS and it just barely kept pace with the X1950 Pro's at stock speeds. Overclocked it faired better but still lagged behind the X1950XT.

On my rig, the Gecube X1950XT easily surpassed the "currently available" 7800GS+ Goes Like Hell - 20 Pipe - Golden Sample. http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showpost.php?p=9074980&postcount=68 Now, if you were referring to the 24 pipe, 1500 piece limited run 7800GS+ which is outrageously...

Rev, instead of a seperate video card which will probably give you headaches, have you considered a USB Device which will do the same thing. I converted a number of VHS tapes to DVD in this way (For my personal use only). Checked OverclockersUK and I see nothing like it all, so here's a link to...

I had 2 of them and temps were influenced greatly by my room temps. When my office was on the cool side, my temps were 36-37c idle. When the house was warmer, temps at idle went up to 40-42c and under load same as yours. The card is working as it should in my opinion. I wouldn't worry, when I...

Yes, I haven't used a PCI-E card yet. :p I ordered the Bliss from here as matter of fact. Good and bad timing on my part. I had just returned my second HIS ICEQ3 V1 X1950 Pro, so I needed a new card and ordered the Gainward Bliss from here, then 2 days later the X1950XT showed up on NewEgg...
