NVidia Graphic Driver Problem

[GLH]

@Grumpy:

If you want to know it:

3DMark05: 2.425 / AquaMark3: 43.946
Before using Rivatuner

3DMark05: 2.613 (+188) / AquaMark3: 45.296 (+1350)
After using Rivatuner to enable two VertexUnits that was disabled.
There are also two PixelUnits that are disabled, but when i enable
them i get some graphic errors.

By the way... IT'S FAST ENOUGH !!!

By the way... IT'S FAST ENOUGH !!!

Good to hear, it should be fast too.
I am currently running a P4 3.2Mhz HT Cpu, 1gig Dual Channel Ram (soon to be 2gig) ati Radeon 9700 Pro but its only a 128mg card, (currently trying to track down the Radeon X800XT PE, its proving hard to find in South Australia). At the moment games run excellent but most only at 1024x768 and I want to be able to run them at 1600x1200. Using a Gigabyte GA-8KNXP Motherboard. Ive had it just over 12 months now and feel I am due for an upgrade on the ram and graphics card.
How are you finding the Nvidia card compared to the Ati cards you used to always use? Which ati card did you last have?
My old computer parts get handed down to my 2 boys, they are running the Gigabyte GA-8INXP, 1Gig Dual Channel Ram, 2.8Mhz HT Cpu, but they currently only have a Nvidia Ti 4200 graphics card. They will score my Radeon card once I update which will probably be late next week sometime.
The kids do quite well from my upgrades after all they have good system for a 10 and 7 year old.

My last computer was "only" a Notebook with a ATi Radeon 9600 mobility.
Ok, i was able to play HL2, but only in 800x600 and no AntiAliasing.

Before the notebook i was having a ATi Radeon 9600 Pro and i was contented with it. It was enough... at that time.

But now with HL2, FarCry & NFSU2 on my harddisk, i wanted MORE.

I'm very contented with my new graphic card.
But, when the ATi X800 would be not so much expensive (539,- Euro), i would have bought a X800 !!!

Here are the prices i have paid here in germany:
259,- Euro - CPU incl. Fan
244,- Euro - Leadtec nVidia GeForce 6800 LE
199,- Euro - Corsair DualChannel RAM
119,- Euro - Mainboard
79,- Euro - NEC 3500A(G) DVD-Burner
69,- Euro - Midi-Tower Case
52,- Euro - 80GB Samsung 7200 HDD (i also have a 120 MB HDD)
29,- Euro - FloppyDiskDrive with integrated 5in1 CardReader (Teac)
28,- Euro - Toshiba SD-M1802 DVD-Rom

(I think, at the earliest if my little son is old enough to play at a PC, I will spend money for a new PC. When my wife was seeing the bills, the first thing she said "i want new shoes" . But i have sold my notebook, so i only have paid 44,- Euro !!!)
