Get whatever vista x86/x64 8800gtx driver you need.

Download them on the connection you're using atm and burn them to disc or transfer then to a usb stick, even an mp3 player will do the job.

Jimbo - Can I just ask - Did you have any issues fitting your GTX into your P180? I'm thinking of flogging my GTS and getting a GTS with more memory as I've just bought a 24" Dell beast...

Only problems I had was I had fitted a fan on the heatsinks nb/sb and had to take it of because it wouldnt go in the slot. Other than that it fits just fine.

 

[TheDean]

Right - I get you - So on a 'standard' setup there should be no issues?

 

[Jimbo]

Nope no problems on a standard setup mate.

Cheers for that Jimbo - The reason I ask is I currently have a 320MB version and have just splashed out on a 24" Dell and want to play all my games at high res - I'm thinking of selling the GTS 320MB and buying a GTS 640MB - DO you think this is a good plan for another £80?

Might be worth getting the GTX if you've got a 24" screen. The differance between the GTX and GTS is more apparent higher resolutions.

Might be worth noting that your sig is over the rule limit, 4 lines max.

 

[TheDean]

My sig is fine me thinks.....Anyone? GTS upgrade?

er... lol, can't you see i was referring to the op?

 

[Jimbo]

I couldnt really comment mate, on wether its worth it or not. I just know my 8800GTX will kill anything at any res, I reckon at the end of the day its about how fast your core/mem is, rather than amount of mem on board. Just get the best you can afford.

 

[TheDean]

Yeah - I wish i could afford a GTX, but it's far too much....
