Nvidia GeForce 8800GTX

[jonasa]

I think its either:

1. a drivers issue
2. a max issue
3. a graphics card issue
4. a OS issue
5. an issue

6. Global Warming

jonasa I had this problem yesterday and I found reloading the texture solved the problem

[jonasa]

yes - reloading does indeed help... just a bit inconvenient - and also... I am curious to why this happens.

jacksc02, are you on latest Nvidia driver as well?

[jacksc02]

im running a geforce 7600GS with the 91.47 drivers

[jonasa]

im on 97.92... maybe this driver is still buggy with the 8800GTS

[DaForce]

Maybe, although I have been using that driver now since it was released, havnt seen that problem... "yet".

[werticus]

da force: as capacitors get older they lose capacity, so given your PSU relies on these things - your PSU actually is only able to produce so much power after so much use...

i believe you lose 10% every year. so your 680w psu is really 612w one year later!

[DaForce]

true true.. good point.

Well might just buy a 1000w one or something

lol over kill.

[EricCamper]

well...got my computer and everything...except....the Dell 690 only has ONE power connector for the 8800gtx. Did you guys plug two in or is one ok?

[DaForce]

Well if you only needed one, thats all they would put

You WILL need to plug both in. However you can use the supplied molex to 6pin adapters and plug molex plugs into them and plug the adapter into the card.

[EricCamper]

hehe... Well...I searched the box and did not see any adapters....But we already ordered a new 1100 Watt power supply that supports the extra connectors and etc.

Thanx

[jacksc02]

did you order the power station that goes with it?

[DaForce]

Eric, this is what they look like.

The little adapter thingys on the right.
If you didnt get them best to contact the place you got the card and hastle them
