  • Blue dots and weird things on screen

    First you can start with "what was my last software changes that i made" - some programs installed/uninstalled may cause trouble. If you're sure that your video card is not overclocked then check the following - see does the fan on the GPU is working fine and make good contact to the GPU surface. If evrything is ok i believe only your video card memory modules left to cause this usually again if they are overclocked but as you said their are not. How long you have this video card what was your last changes on your PC setup. I think most cooling fans on both CPU, GPU and so on are not blowing wind into the radiator but do exactly the opposite - it creates vacuum between the cooler and the radiator by "throwing" the air out of the top so air is comming sidelong the GPU and the radiator ang going through the fan to the top. I hope i could explain it on my not verry good english. This was nearby components and the radiator are both cooled. If your cooler is not making this vacuum but blow air into the GPU, nearby componets most likely are getting hotter (maybe memory chips too), under the cooler is created a "dead spot" where air is not mooving much. Also dead spot and the fact that old GPUs are not flat at the top (that created bad contact between the cooling system and the chip) make it hotter, so if last days your room temperatures is rising or by some reason cooling is not that efficiant anymore or airflow in your PC case is changed to worse that could happen. There are hell alot of things that can cause this you should try alot of things. You can see does a open case will raise the amount of time that system don't crash. Touching the radiator of the card when its under load, and checking does it make good contact should be done i think.

    I wrote a link to the drivers - check out the list of original supported cards and in case its not supported (like it seems mine were not supported) during driver instalation you will be asked for the modded .inf - its included in driver archive so there is nothing to worry about, however i recommend you to check the list. Don't forget its beta and also you need to uninstal your old drivers.

  • CF1.6

    Here some ideas from me:


    - i'll be happy to see gun/s using ammo - maybe like the coalition gattling gun but no more than 8.33 or what there were the fastest refire rate of original weapons due to the lag. And maybe ammo will be carieed in cargohold?!


    - new weight reduction kits - i mean more expensive and more efficiant maybe MK4 and so on ... Also they seems not to work on BS as good as on trains i guess becouse BS have low mass (maybe thats one of the reasons they spin that easy?!)

  • First review of the new nVidia video driver Control Panel

    This is most likely the new upcoming control panel of nVidia video drivers. If evrything goes fine we might see in next official release of Forceware. This is first public beta of the new CP and you can find it in latest beta driver available on the net - you can find more info here. I found alot of comments about it. Sometimes its working fine after driver instalation sometimes further manipulations are needed. FW 83.60 actualy contain two control panels -
    the old one you already know in a bit extended version and the new one. If evrything is fine you should be able to start it by clicking on NVIDIA Control panel in desktop right mouse button menu or in start menu -> all programs -> nvidia corporation -> sedona. However if it still don't work you should instal nTune 3 and then try again. Here is the main window:



    and some of the rest more interesting windows:










    You will find short and usefull info about all options. Most interesting to me were overclocking options - GPU/Vmemory settings, Hyper-Transport and PCI Express clocks, memory timings and they all are real time - this mean you can change your memory timings right now without restart or changing them in your BIOS! Also options like Extension Limit can be changed now plus you have explenation what it does and what is recommended to do with it in different situations. Also you will notice that some options still don't work - dunno for you but i don't use them anyway like creating game profiles and some others.

  • [movie] Need For Speed: Most Wanted - Camaro SS vs Carrera GT

    You will see this two cars compared in the game - Porsche Carrera GT use tunning and custom settings that i usually use while Chevrolet Camaro is "stock". Specifications used are from real life. You will see chases with police with both cars.


    Info:
    Name: Carrera GT vs Camaro SS
    time: 10min 12sec
    resolution: 640x480 high quality
    size: 140MB splitted into three parts


    part1: download 66.7MB
    part2: download 66.7MB
    part3: download 6.3MB


    I used WinRAR 3.30 to archive them.


    At some moments i was recording at 11-15fps so it might not be smooth to watch in those moments


    *Note - sorry about the a bit bad sound in the chases - my mistake
    :(

    Auto comparing files timestamps between each other from the time they've been compiled/installed?! :D Just an idea

  • CF Database

    I can create FTP account for you and Gunny to upload there and manage the files on your own if you like that idea or i'll upload them - its up to you

  • CF Database

    Ok i contacted with Blade and i got the database that you guys created. Right now i'm lowering its size and trying to change the look becouse its in txt files. It will be ready soon.
