6800GT causing problems

Yea the digital vibrance is a pretty cool option. And you dont get any problems at Ultra speeds on a 300W PSU? Thats pretty awesome. Gonna get myself an AC cooler first tho before I try. The fan's even noisier than the stock 9800 one! Keeps it cool tho (46 degrees idle)

I think the GT requires more power than the ultra cos the ultra's design is a little more refined and a bit more efficient, even tho it does the same job! Something to do with transistors and yields apparently. All goes over my head! :bucky!:

Woo! Its fixed! I cleared the CMOS by leaving the mobo battery out for a while, and it booted perfectly after setting all the options in the BIOS again.

Thanks Sprig and everyone! That was pretty swift troubleshooting hehe B)

So I guess it must've been some conflicting BIOS setting left behind by the old 9800Pro like you said GM, and the BIOS reset allowed it to detect them from fresh.

Just installing Forceware 77.72s now!

Where dyu get the 450W info JMS? Im hoping i'll be able to overclock a little with my 400W (not straight away of course!). The manual says min 300W, somewhere else said min 350W. Manual also says OCing a PCI-e GT requires min 550W!

glad to hear they helped, and if i were you i would leave those "Official nvidia" drivers and go for Xg drivers and get the 77.62 t3, they're badass, so if they come out with a 77.76 get em =P

Dling them now. Thanks for the tip!

np

does that mean i can use mine without buying another PSU?
my current power is only 400W

Seems so. I'll let you know if mine pops hehe. Cptn_law seems to be ok tho!
