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!!
Im simply trying to install from vista 64-bit. This is my first windows install. it starts the install then on the first reboot it goes to a black screen with only a curser, ive been trying for ever and i just cant figure this out...
ive tryed mutiple times upgrading and custom installs but nothing is working.
ive installed windows 7 in c drive i deleted the hard drive first before i installed it. now my mouse keeps freezing every so often but when i press a button it refreshes for a few seconds before freezing again ive updated as much as i can i put in a old graphics card and windows seemed to run a little better although not by much i have a navidia 9800gtx+ gigabyte and have no idea what to do i have spent lots of hours looking for a solution on threads to this problem but to no avail if anyone could help it would be much appreciated.
I need to change the hardware acceleration settings, but when I go to advanced display settings trouble shoot tab the button is shaded grey and unclickable. I've updated to the latest driver and cannot find the settings in the Nvidia Control Panel to change the hardware acceleration.
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.
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?
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+?
I have nVidia Geforce 9800 GT graphic card and some time after my screen-saver started at once windows showed me message that my graphic card has stop working and that it recovered now. What is that should I be worried?
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:
I got motherboard: Asus m2n-mx se plus. Video Card : nVIDIA nForce 6150SE (6100-430), Onboard Audio : nVIDIA MCP61 , D-Link DFE-520TX PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter .
My Motherboard comes with Vista drivers, but I heard that even that are creating problems for video and audio. Should I download any specific drivers beforehand?
I've recently added a second Nvidia GTX 560 Ti graphics card to my system running in SLI mode however on random occasions on boot-up, the graphics drivers are not being loaded so I have to load them manually. I am also running dual monitors so when the boot problem occurs all my desktop settings are thrown out the window because without the drivers the system only recognizes one monitor. I am assuming this is all caused by my settings are not being saved on close down.
I installed the latest Nvida driver 190.38 for my 9600GT and I just noticed that I now have Nvida Stereostopic3D drivers installed under programes and fetures. I am never going to be using this so just wanted to know is safe to remove and will it affect anything thing else?
I have been debating between which one I want to go with for my next card. Apparently, AMD isn't going to be updating the driver for the 4800 series to Windows 8 (which really ticks me off...). That is why I'm considering nVidia for the first time. Few things I want to do with a new card:
- Gaming at 1920x1080 graphics maxed, or close to at frame rates of at least 60.
- Some bitcoin mining (nothing serious, just curious about it), and possibly some other GPGPU related stuff.
Also, the card needs to work well in both Windows and Linux x64 as I use both. The only nVidia Ive ever worked with was an old Quadro FX 1400, which I put into a Dell Optiplex GX280, and it runs great under Linux and Windows.
Okay so this graphics card has been used for say, a year? Then one day the fan started malfunctioning. It would spin for a bit, then stop. sometimes it still twitches a bit. Recently I cleaned the card but still nothing.
For those who are looking for more information on the recent Nvidia drivers supplied by the Tutorials here on Seven Forums can read this PDF file put out by Nvidia.
Msi FX600 (MSI Europe ? Notebook - FX600) laptop has two onboard video cards - one for games, other for desktop/browsing/etc. IS it possible to disable nvidia gpu in order to save some energy. As I know, at IDLE, when I am looking at my desktop, GPU is still working at 127mhz speed. How to absolutely disable it without removing it?
I have a brand new Alienware R4 with dual GTX 680 SLI. my computer often crashes when either trying to load a game or, when trying to run the windows experience index test.I read one post somewhere who said their problem was fixed when he/she reduced the windows color setting to 16bit. Well.. that worked for me last night but, this afternoon it has already crashed on me 2 twice. Once all on it's own, the second time when I tried to play Lord of the Rings Online.
I installed windows 7, but cant do any gaming on it as it only has the default driver for the GTX280 which is absolutely atrocious. Are there any Alpha or Beta Drivers released for Windows 7 so that people can really run it through the mill for gaming?
i have just built a new rig and i'm having a couple of problems. as i said in the title i have a msi 560 on a asus p67 mobo with a intel i5 2500.i've had the computer for about 2 months now and a few days ago, when i started the computer, a message saying "disk read error, push ctrl + alt + delete" came up. i restarted my comp' a few times and it eventually booted. then today the same message came up and i went through the same process and i got the computer to boot again.this i could deal with however, my computer now has been on for about 16 hours (no big deal) but now it wont play Internet videos and huge artifacts and random triangles and things com up in games like battlefield bc2. the reason i put the time up here is that when i first started the computer it was doing video things fine.
The spec of the new PC is as folows:HP Elite 340ukIntel i3 550 (3.07GHz)nVidia GT320 (1GB)Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit - OEM (original)I have attached the BSOD troubleshooting siles you recommend (I think).Seems like the RAM, NVIDIA or HD would be the most likely candidates, but I don't know.Have tried to run MS memory test, but it sometimes crashes?
I have been trying to find Windows 7 drivers for my 8800GT but haven't found anything yet. Are the Vista ones compatible or do I need Windows 7 specific? If so, do they exist?
When I first installed the OS I used windows update in order to install a driver for my vid card. I am now trying to use a driver from nvidia. I go through the entire process of installation smoothly, restart, but when I go back into the device manager the same microsoft driver is there.
cannot installed nvidia drivers, it says Installer failed and doesn't say anything else! what a crap error messages nvidia gives...I tried to ran in failsafe mode but doesnt lso tried drivercleaner and driver sweeper after reinstall the drivers but nothing.
