LOL! Yeah I have seen it...(before). It's from the faked 9-series which was supposed to be "soooo great". But it isn't and I would not even care to buy this. I'll wait until they stop their own "hyyyped sale" and start producing something that kicks the powerful 8-series down in the garbage can. But who knows... maybe ATI got something

Consider what Tom is saying in this article: http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/03/18/nvidia_geforce_9800_gx2_review/page16.html (http://www.tomshardware.com/2008/03/18/nvidia_geforce_9800_gx2_review/page16.html)

Well I know my graphics card isnt the best, probably the worst. Nvidia 6200 $:-\$

Well my core clock speed on my GPU is 500Mhz, and my card can handle quite a lot (not everything on max but not on the lowest).

How much RAM do you have? At the moment my RAM is the bottle in having only 512mb

No actually it runs at a fairly decent FPS. Although environments and such take a long time to load, once loaded the sim runs fairly smoothly. Obviously to have it smooth as in no lag at all I have to turn the settings down, but with only 512mb RAM I can run ship sim quite well

When you look at the posts of some people who have what they believe are good spec PCs, but still have problems, your is doing very well. Give it a hug from me, please.

not exact but a similar one. i have now a 8600 GTS with 512MB on my system and it runs shipsim smoothly at all the graphic sliders (inclusive ship wakes of all ships) full to the right. i,m very impressed with this nvidia.

Hehe I gave it a hug from you. It just whirred at me

Although I can run ship sim, I do have a problem I've been meaning to ask you about which is bugging me like hell.

Shall I submit another thread?

Yes please. Best to keep the place tidy.

If you put it into Technical Support and include the DXdiag report, I'll see what I can do (if anything). As you might imagine, with the latest set of updates, things are a bit hectic. But gaining ground rapidly.

has anyone blown a graphics card before

TerryRussell · « **Reply #94 on:** March 29, 2008, 16:23:33 »

Yeah, I managed to it once. My own fault though. I was messing with th eheatsink and didn't refit it properly.

saltydog · « **Reply #95 on:** March 29, 2008, 17:51:52 »

Speaking of cooling problems, my 8800GT gets a bit warm and noisy under stress, so I'm thinking of fitting it with this..
All in all: the 8800GT is excellent " Bang for buck "...

Hi Jimbob19,

We can't tell you if your computer will run ship sim unless we know the specifications of it. Can you post your DXDIAG please?

Here is how to upload your DXdiag results:

Click Start button. Select "Run". Type "dxdiag" and press "Enter". You might be asked about WHQL drivers, click "Ok".

In the next window click the button that says "Save All Information", when the Save Dialog box appears, save the file to your desktop.

To upload the file here, select "Reply" to this message. Select "Additional Options" (underneath the text area)and choose "Browse". Browse to your desktop, click the file and click "Open". When finished post the message.

If using Vista you may have to press the Windows Key + R to get the "Run" prompt, depending on how your system is set up.

Regards,
Adam
