Is Is It Better To Use 8800gtx Than 9800 Gx2 ?

Oct 20, 2009

I have currently as you can see in my system specs the 9800 gx2 card which has 2 gpu's that add up to 1gb memory when its in sli mode. My question is is it better for me to use my 8800 gtx then the 9800 gx2? both use pci express but the 9800 uses the pci express 2 or x16 whatever it is. My mobo only has pci express so im not really getting the full power out of the 9800 gx2 as it is. Looking for a opinion if i should change out for the 8800 gtx. Planning on a new build in a couple months anyhow with all updated parts. But for the time being i was curious.

Getting Driver For ATI Radeon 9800 Pro

Aug 24, 2009

Okay ive been searching the internet (and this forum ) for a driver for my ATI Radeon 9800 Pro.

I know its an old card.. but its still decent.

ATI have put it under the Legacy support list? but if i try and install that.. Windows 7 wants to tell me that the Microsoft Corporation WDDM Driver is better and wont let me install it.

is there a work around this?

And is it possible to get Aero Support with this Graphics card?

NVidia 9800 GT Problem

Dec 27, 2009

I just finished upgrading my g-card from a nVidia 9800 GT to a Radeon HD 5770, now when i turn on my comp, it gets stuck at the windows start up screen.

I tried putting back in my old g-card and it starts up fine, I also used driver sweeper and uninstalled my nvidia drivers but still no luck. I also cleared my CMOS, still no luck. I'm out of ideas!!

So I'm thinking about upgrading to a better GPU and I've decided that I want to try ATI. I find their model numbering system extremely foggy, so could someone point me in the direction of the ATI equivalent of the GeForce 9800 GT/GTX+?

Oct 24, 2009

Ok I am running 2 dual video cards, both by Nvidia, 9600 GT & 9800 GT.

Do I need to use both CD's to re-install the drivers for Win 7 64?

Or are the drivers already updated with Win 7?

Or do I need to go to Nvidias website and get the latest drivers?

BFG Geforce 9800 GT OC 1GB GDDR3 Card Video Ram Issue

Jun 15, 2009

OK, so I have a BFG Geforce 9800 GT OC 1GB GDDR3 card.

Now, onboard video memory is 1024MB, obviously. However, whenever I do dxdiag, it tells me that I have "Approx. Total Memory: 494 MB".

What the hell? That's less than half of what I actually have. I didn't actually notice this until today, when I went to play Prototype on my PC for the first time, and it wouldn't let me set my resolution to anything above 1024x768.

According to Prototypes read me, the resolutions are locked at certain levels.

Cards with less than 512 MB cannot access resolutions with widths of greater than 1280 or heights of 720. This means with a card of LESS THAN 512MB VRAM has these available:

640 x 480

800 x 480

800 x 600

1024 x 768

1152 x 720

1152 x 864

1280 x 720

1280 x 800

Cards with less than 1024 MB cannot access resolutions with widths of greater than 1600 or heights of 1080. This means with a card of LESS THAN 1024MB VRAM has these available:

The following are only available for cards with 512MB VRAM or more:

1280 x 1024

1440 x 900

1600 x 1200

1680 x 1050

1920 x 1080

1920 x 1200

2048 x 1152

2048 x 1536

2560 x 1600 Where is the rest of my VRAM?
