BTW....my ATi Catalyst Control Panel Problems are resolved...no thanks to ATi :smt019 Problem turned out to be McAfee Internet Security 7.0 - specifically the Privacy component buggering up .NET applications that run as a .NET service. ATi Tech Support should have known this since they write/extend ...

EXtreme TECH: Video Shootout: ATi vs. Nvidia

This is something everyone who has used an ATi Video Card should know.

Actually I just got this response from ATI to my Support Ticket:

"We will be launching our later drivers today, please install the Catalyst 6.1 drivers it should resolve the issue that you are facing."

WTF...6.1? What happened to 5.14 to 6.0

Hope they fixed the $#$%#^%#@ Catalyst Control Centre

Drivers are Drivers! ......... IMHO i believe what ever comes with the defaults is what you should use, I have used both NVIDIA and ATI and as far as I'm concerned they both BLow chunks of stuff I usually flush! It's not complicated either way to just uninstall from the system hardware and re-insta...

Finally realizing nVidia is where its at!?! IMHO ATI blows, always has and always will. Especially their sorry ARSE drivers! nVidia has their fair share of Video Driver problems too. (I have two other computers with nVidia cards and they've had some issues with drivers - one's even my son's gamer).

GOD DAMM CATALYST 5.13!!!!!!!!! :smt093 What's the problem you might ask? It's that STOPID Catalyst Control Centre written in .CRAP (err I mean .NET) code. CCC locks up on me and my system is un-freezable. I usually get 6 or more CLI.exe's running on my system, depending on how many times I've trie...

Talk about overcrowding in the neighbourhood

No wonder peeps need a kick-ass power supply for this setup.

HOLY CRAP...that ain't my father's Dell!

(I hate to admit that the nVidia card plays these games better than ATI :P ). Really ......... Why is it I'm still spanking peeps with twin 7800GT's fully utilized with my little old ATI 9800 single!!!!!!! :lol: :lol: :razz: That also includes when i was playing the HACK CHAMPIONS of CoD when i was...

i am looking for a card thats under 70 dollars and will play BF2 COD2 and Cit of villians any siggestions :shock: I don't think $70 will get you a card to play BF2 or COD2 since my $200 ATI Radeon 128MB 9800 Pro won't play it well. Take Major's Advice...deliver pizzas or bet on the Broncos then you...

Ummm... No good. She just me

WOW! Thanks Oden. I've been waiting for Futureshop to have the card on sale again for $349. Good deal because it beat the old price from a month ago.

...now if I could just GET $299 from the wife....

WOW Big performance gains expected from my ATI and Hyperthreaded P4

Thanks Oden!

For those of you that have a faster AGP video card than me, and are thinking of upgrading to a PCIe Mobo and Video card, please let me know so I can make you an offer on your old AGP card. I'm looking for something faster than my ATI 9800 Pro 128 MB card.....something like an ATI X850XT 256 MB Plati...

Oden...Thank you!

Thanks Dienamic... :) It might very well be that DD problem, Dienamic. It could be the default Windows driver, and then I loaded the new drivers. Does nVidia (or anyone else) have a cleaner program to remove all traces of ALL nVidia drivers and nVidia software? And who told me it was ATI drivers tha...

Anyone know what the BIOS settings should be for a nVidia FX5500 256MB video card?

Does it need a dedicated IRQ, or will a shared one do?

No games...it's an office computer and only runs 2D.

Most of the flickers are in IE, MS Office Apps, watching a DVD, recording TV on my PVR. Basically any kind of work involving see what's on my screen

Most anoying....

Okay I need some nVidia help. My home office computer has a nVidia FX5500 256MB Video card and a MSI KT6V (Via KT600 Chipset) and I'm having a weird problem. Every once in a while (5-10 minutes) my screen goes blank for for a second and comes back on. I've been trying to get the system to stop doing...

SAWEEET! Anyone tried it out yet?

Thanks guys. I found the problem with the tasks. Even though the check box for only running the task while logged in was checked, I had to uncheck it and then do this: Overtype the Machine\Username and re-enter my password. Strange since I didn't have one set, so I set one for my account, but I stil...
