    all your issues relating to grafix cards can be brought here! (unless you overclocked and suddenly ur card doesnt work)

    common probs:

    the nVidia overclocker overclocked my card by about 50% and sed it would work. now, the graphics are stained with thin horizontal rectangles. what do i do???

    it overclocked WAY too much. bring it down to default and overclock by 2 mhz
    each step manually until the rectangles come back. once they do, drop 2 mhz
    lower and you have successfully overclocked! (better have a good fan...)




    my ATI card boots only once, then wont boot at all! no beep, nothing! what do i do???

    return ur ati card. this is an incompatibility issue




    why is my card reading insane temps?

    3 possibilities:
    1) temp sensor is bad (warranty coverage helps here)
    2) poor ventilation (get a case fan)
    3) poor cooling (or improperly mounted) (fix it! get a new cooler&#33




    why is TVout so blurrry?

    1) defective card (warranty, of course)
    2: incompatibility issue (return/exchange your card for a better 1)




    my card wont fit! is it safe to bend it into place?

    NO!




    Whos better, Ati or nVidia?

    your pick, you want med-fast but hushed? or want fast but damn loud?




    what about matrox?

    Hey! i love matrox! looks like we have something in common good man!




    Why is my Matrox Parhelia sooooo sssslllloooowwww????

    becuz it actually works BETTER on higher settings (until u reach 1280 x 960)




    My Q isnt listed here!

    did u read ur owners manual/call tech support?




    Yes i did!

    then post it!!! me or some other person, like clocker, might be able to handle ur
    issue!

    atividia,

    Perhaps you could share some of your qualifications as a video card expert.
    That would help us decide how much creedence to give your responses.

    Personally, I know very little about them as I am not a gamer, and have only owned two graphics cards in my short PC career.

    A real expert would be a welcome addition to our little world.
    A real bullshit artist would be quickly exposed.

    I don't think so and certainly not meant to be.

    i know you didn't mean it but the whole bullshit artist i think he got the idea it was just a little harsh even if you didn't mean to be it sounded like you were calling him a bullshit artist

    Reread my post please.
    I didn't call him anything.

    I hardly think it's unreasonable, or "harsh", to ask a self-declared expert to provide some credentials.

    as a newb i am not allowed to post such things?

    if I was trying to get it pinned I would try harder and post a bigger list of Qs

    this is simple, see if i can get some issues solved here and then let this post die


    if i see that more issues are being brought up with the cards then i may make a bigger list and then try to have it pinned
