Elyon under clock the gpu to 875 mhz and see if that helps. but as far as the card goes it could handle them games with max settings with no problems.

[indianlove]

or and check your refresh rate

[Elyon]

@indian love, I did underclock it to 900mhz on the 275 driver and it seems to work fine

Also with the 266.44 driver it appears to run fine at full factory overclock. Appears the factory overclock is not compatable with newer drivers, this is the first time I'm heard of such an occurance though.

Thanks for the help guys

^ buy an SSD

or a 450GB WD Velociraptor 10,000rpm 32MB cache SATA III

wait does that 1366 board have SATA III 6GB/sec?

[Virus]

ABA Trading LTD as Duane 3NE 2NR said get an SSD a 40gb and yes 40gb is alot when you follow the tweaks available when i had mine after 64bit install and many programs later i was left with 16GB
Intel should push that number to 7.2 and with Intel® Rapid Storage Technology 7.4 so go figure

Get a good graphics card and you good to go.

New EVGA GT 545

[HCCA]

With them specs that'll be a good upgrade to a 9800GTX+ yes.

Might be a better Physx card not to sure about replacing a 9800GTX+ maybe a 9800GT the only good thing is more memory other than that blah!!!!!

Nah this 545 have 144 sp vs 128 on the 9800GTX+.

Can be used as a physics card too as well.

[Chiney]

Agreed but 192-bit bus vs 256-bit is a point seller still for the GTX+ but all in all great lil monster indeed i get it the physx seal of approval

[fouljuice]

Most sites say they expect the GT545 to cost about $150US.
If that is true, it would not make sense to get a 545 since a GTS450 cost less and has higher specs, or GTX460 which cost the same and has even higher specs than the 450

Yeah the price is the real dealbreaker there.

Was expecting it to be a bit under $100 US really.

HCCA remember this was supposed to be an OEM card so evga slide in and just brand it so you really paying for the name really, and the fact that you dont need a psu upgrade to use this bad boy, any card that might be evenly matched might still require a 6pin so i guess thats another way to look at it or not

[Chiney]

wen is it ready for resales?
