Latest Driver for my new 6600 oc 256 mb

after playing it doesnt change color anymore it just freezes for like 30-40 secs then returns. then freezes and so one

hmm weird, what kind of a powersupply do you have? what's the amps on the 12v? should say something like 12v@22a or something.

i have a raidmax 350 w i believe its 12 v/ @14a

the ones in this pic is the exact same one

im sorry to mini-jack this thread, BUT....

WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF NVIDIA. Everyone looks at sites like toms hardware etc, and sees that nvidia has great benchmarks. Well this may be the case because the hardware may be better, but the software sucks ass. All my friends at school that have nvidias have strange ass problems like this on various games, including but not limited to: Far Cry and doom 3. Nvidia couldnt make a good driver to save their life.

ATI may not have the best hardware, but you can almost guarentee that it will run the games with little/no problems. You were sold by the hype of nvidia, and this is the price you pay. Sorry but its true.

i was thinking it was the driver... 81.85 seems to be the only one that can run my card with the least amount of problems unless anyone knows a better one for the 6600

No, you are wrong, Nvidia's drivers are far better optimized then ATI's, but yes ati is much better at hardware since their's is excellent quality but their driver support sucks at time. You gotta wait a month just to wait for a driver.

So i think 350w 12v@14a is not efficient enough

I know they say it's recommended to have 300w but the truth is to have atleast 400w with 12v@22a.

Try leaving the side window or side of the pc open so it can get better air, move wires out of way for better ventelation.
and you gotta tell me those temps.

i never had any problem running doom 3 or far cry on my pc and i have a evga 6800gt.

I just just found out my power is fluctuating, and is dropping from 12v to 11.42 I guess im going to have to change the PSU. thanks spriggs for your help.My Mobo temp is also too high 176 degrees! One of my fans blew out .

just installed an antec true power 2.0 played cs for 3 hours striaght no crashes or problems... thnks spriggs
