have a look through the TPU site, there are a list of GPU bios's last time i checked :) -Adam

Hi everyone, I'm currently having a problem with Nero that after 3 minutes the sound goes out of sync on the discs i have burned. All other programs are closed when Nero vision is converting and burning the video files. But the output on the output on the discs is a slightly sluttering on the...

Hi everyone, i have encountered a problem with nero vision. Im trying to create my own dvd-video as i have done many times in the past, tho since today i seem 2 have acquired a blurry band along the bottom of the video. This appears in preview mode and wen the file is completed onto disk. The...

for the time being i think im gona stick with Ketxxx's advice and keep my current x850xtpe. I'm just gona do a re-format on my sata hard drive, and use that for games insted, and possible build another one for everything else lol :D Thanks for all your help guys :) -Adam

thanks for all your help guys. since the introduction of vista is quite so close, ive decided to hold out till thst starts to get integrated properly. then i'll do my full upgrade, since it would be pointless to do 2 upgrades, when i can get away with one. Thanks -Adam

thanks for those links magibeg :) they have proved to be very helpful! seems that the 7800gtx beats the x1900xtx performance wise in most games, but the x1900xtx has more features. but that still leaves me with the choice of better performance or AA+ HDR features etc. but are all the...

im definately gona make it a x1900xtx because it is only £12 more in the uk than the x1900xt :p atm im still not interested in multiple cards, im still gona go traditionaly with a single card setup. I take it that there is a compatible AC cooler for the x1900xtx? cause thats what im hoping...

Hey guys, this is the third thread i have started, hopefully you guys can be just as much help in this one as you have in the other two :) I've decided to start on upgrading my current setup and im stuck between the two above gfx cards. They are both gona be 512mb versions, and i will refit...

Just had another look on overclockers, and think i've found some memory for the job. G.Skill 2GB DDR ZX PC3200 (2x1GB) CAS2 Dual Channel Kit (F1-3200PHU2-2GBZX) (MY-007-GS) is the stuff im looking at @ £140.94 with vat. only thing im wondering is if i need to get any faster that pc3200 to...

ok man, i'll try installing the nero disk that came with the sony drive, since the pioneer was an oem. i have firmware flashed a drive before, so i rekon i can do it again as a last resort lol :) i have had nero 7 before, but it had terrible lock-up issues, and always put skips on cd's...

First off i'll need to get an XP Pro, since i only have a legit copy of XP Home atm :o I think i'm kinda decided on a S939 since im gona have to upgrade the mbord anyway to incorporate either a x1900xt(x) 512Mb or a 7900xt 512Mb / 7950GX2 1024Mb. As for CPU its gona have to be a 4000+ or...

Ive tried differeent media before, but both the drives are still only recognised as capable of 40x on cd's and 8x/4x on dvd's :( I'm tempted to do the firmware flash, but there must be sumething else i can try first, because they are literally a few monthes old and i dont quite wana void the...

I had major problems with the fog effects on COD2, i ended up wiv a 1fps slideshop at certain points in the game. It also didnt wana play FEAR at higher settings, though sumtimes i can be a little extravagant with my settings :o I just dont seem to get any performance outa my current setup...

Well i wana spend as little as possible lol, im also trying to save for a car and lessons etc atm. If the CPU will surfice i rekon i will just do the gfx card and ram. My problem is that i'm so picky, i will only play games at the highest levels wiv everything maxed out. Once my PC doesnt do...

The new build will mainly be for Gaming, hence why i am setting up the Sata drive. The only problem wiv upgraded the CPU, would be that I would have to get a new MBord aswell, and most probably a new GFX card, since the current one is AGP :( Going to Intel is just not an option for me, and...
