| 535951 | 2007-03-29 07:42:00 | Dude, I do not need technical advice on thermal stepping from you, I have been building PC's since 89.I am simply stating the FPS drop is NOT HDD related! understand! I didnt read too much into the o/s installs, he could of done a full format of the drive for all I know instead of a quick format. 320Gb x 2 full format will take a large amount of time. Well I felt like adding it. Yes I know that it is not... I never said it was :rolleyes: OPer, try different GFX drivers, not the latest but older ones and try other games to see if it is only that game... |

| 535952 | 2007-03-29 07:56:00 | Go to the steam user forums. Alot of people have problems with 8800 cards and vista. It's nvidia and your video card or steam and vista, or both according to steam. | Fishy (10540) | ||
| 535953 | 2007-04-02 05:41:00 | Found out that it was the ram causing all the pain. Apparently Asus don't know what they are doing and there bios cant support 4 GB. Hopefully they sort it soon. | kensei (12039) | ||
| 535954 | 2007-04-02 05:58:00 | Well, 32bit windows doesnt support 4gb ram anyway, only 64bit operating systems! | SolMiester (139) | ||
| 535955 | 2007-04-02 06:13:00 | Found out that it was the ram causing all the pain. Apparently Asus don't know what they are doing and there bios cant support 4 GB. Asus doesn't know what they're doing?!:annoyed: I think if you read their site about your board they will tell you it can't. RTFM |

And how did you find that out? Cause according to ASUS (www.asus.com) it supports upto 8GB of DDR2. It could well be why that was the problem with Win XP 32 bit, but Vista 64 bit certainly supports 4GB of RAM which leaves the question... Does it still have to problem with Vista 64 bit? if so, test keep looking for the problem | The_End_Of_Reality (334) | ||
| 535957 | 2007-04-02 09:04:00 | Huh, I guess no one really notice the problem with Nvidia 8800 series cards. The engineers are scratching his/her head how to fix the problem in the GPU, which is why 8800GTX want to sue Nvidia for this. It means it is going to affect first person shooters as well (FPS). :illogical I guess I have to wait for AMD/ATi R600 then. |

My god lad, you will really have to start thinking about what you say before you put pen to paper so to speak. A 7 yr old could construct a better sentence than that. Shame on you! As for the contents, 8800GTX want to sue Nvidia?, you really are starting to talk out of your ass. Nvidia are the manufacturers & designers of the chip, they are hardly going to sue themselves. If in future you actually have some relevant information, internet etiquette demands proof via reference/links to the statement...okay! LOL: |

| 535959 | 2007-04-02 12:10:00 | No, nvidia doesn't want to sue themselves - the actual 8800GTX chip/card wants to sue them for creating it! (well that's how I read it, anyway) I too cannot find where the board does not suppot 4GB ram. According to that link it supports up to 8GB... though it does say that with some configurations the total amount of ram usable will be detected as less than the actual physical installed ram due to SLI (or something of the sort) |

| 535960 | 2007-04-03 02:04:00 | Hi all thanks for all your hints and tips! It was definitely the bios. Upgraded to a beta 0802 that Asus have released and what do you know the problem seems to be sorted. Now Vista 64 bit is running like a dream with it's 4Gb of ram, and cs is mint to. Oh yea and test drive unlimited goes pretty smoothly as well. Nice:D |
