HELLO ! My little brother wants to upgrade his video card ,and NV will release a new card GT 240 in recent days.Therefore, he wants to change his card from 9600GT to GT 240. How you guys think about that ? In my opinion, this card is fine, but he had better wait until the price goes down.

BTW, his equipment is good enough to support this card.
THX

Here are his choices

I’ve just spent the last few hours reading articles about this problem however none of the solutions i’ve read have helped my situation.

i originally thought it was a memory problem, then i thought that one of my 8800gt’s were defective, but now after all this research im starting to think the board might just outright be defective.

the notorious problem with nvidia 7 series chipsets and video artifacting has plagued my system.

mind you my bios settings are all stock (ram voltage and timings set manually because this board sucks)
the machine would work fine for a while and then start to display green artifacts and lines all over the screen. when it first started, i could make it stop by restarting the pc. after time though, restarting the pc had no effect on the artifacts. more recently, the artifacts will be displayed starting at the POST screen. i can make them go away by loading bios defaults and rebooting however.

after i do that, i will get into windows and mess around for a few minutes and then the artifacts will come back. just now, they actually showed up, disappeared after 3 minutes, everything was fine for 10 minutes (played some video), and then they come back.

i tried running only 2 ram sticks and the system stopped giving artifacts. i ran 3dmark 06 twice with no problems however my second video card was not detected. after a bit of hassle, i got both cards to show up and SLI enabled. upon reboot however, the system was running very sluggish and locked up on me twice. since the bios settings were all auto at this point, i manually set them to what they should be and now XP will hang at the splash screen. safe mode will boot though.

so i went into safe mode and uninstalled all the nvidia drivers thinking its some driver issue thats preventing xp from loading. and when i reboot, boom artifacts are back starting at the post screen. ***!

if anyone knows this board they know it has alot of issues. that being said, i think this board is actually defective. should i RMA it or what?

I just got the new mobo today. Installed it. Im curios as to what this second pcie slot is for?

Its a x4 slot, however.

Heres a picture.

UP ^^ There you can see the second slot has visibly less lanes than the first.. It says in the manual under internal I/O: PCI Express x16 and PCI Express x4 slot, both hybrid crossfireX ready and both pcie 2.0 compliant.

Heres another photo of something unrelated. But still on the motherboard none the less.

Im buying a card on the “for sale” forum and i see the 4870 being sold at 100-120. the 4890 however go up to the 160-180 maybe a little more. anyways just asking is it really worth and extra 40-60 bucks??

Hey.

I done some fiddling in the BIOS and couldn’t figure out how. That was a week ago. Today I was suffering from BSOD and realized i changed something in the BIOS. FSB:RAM had gone from 1:1 to 5:6 causing my RAM to be overclocked..

I don’t even know what I changed to do that but I want the opposite. I want to Make my FSB larger and keep my RAM running at 800MHZ.

Help. All Gigabyte have at least similar BIOS so if you are experienced with them that is good.

Edit: My tweaking thing in my BIOS is called MB intelligent tweaker

Hi

I’m about to get a modest graphics card upgrade to a Palit GTS250 1GB, which I intend to w/c and o/c (and probably SLI in future). I’m battling to find water blocks that actually specify compatibility with the GTS250.

I would like to use the ZM-GWB3 for the GPU and the ZM-RWB1 for the memory.

Will they work? And should I get another memory cooler for the back of the card if my Palit has double-sided chips?

Well, I purchased the 4 pack via steam and I have one left.
