What kinda sports do you watch? or did you just pop your head out the window?

scaminatrix · Aug 13, 2011

I only watch football if I can paint my face red and white and shout around the street out of tune like a drunk hooligan. Otherwise, yea it's boring.
I'm very patriotic :laugh:

Guys I have posted a WTB thread but thought I would check in here also need a GPU ASAP my 470 bit the dust last night. Have upto £100 so let me know what you have.

Also seen a GTX 280 on the bay for £60 so if you have anything say so otherwise I might just panic buy that 280 :cry:

InnocentCriminal · Aug 13, 2011

Don't get the 280 - you'll be disappointed, but £60 isn't too bad.

Aria has a 460 for £90. Is only the 768MB model though.

280 is on par/just beats out a 460 768MB :ohwell:

MilkyWay · Aug 13, 2011

Doesn't the 460 overclock better though? Plus its newer meaning better drivers and better features.

Wish me luck im phoning Tesco to see what's the problem with me getting a phone.
EDIT: I was told the systems are not working and the guy asked me what i wanted anyway but he wasn't interested so a complete waste of time.

In that case get the 280 but you'll still be disappointed.

FreedomEclipse · Aug 13, 2011

Are the 5850 Xtreme's out of stock already?? there were places selling them as low as £90

MightyMission · Aug 13, 2011

dunno mate turned on pc today and couldnt load windows as it would bluescreen right before it got to the log on page reloaded window and as soon as you install drivers it will get past the loading screen and then the monitor goes blank runs on standard vga driver so might be able to flash lower clocks on it and see i that halps though I am not confident at flashing and dont have a spare pci gpu anyway

InnocentCriminal · Aug 13, 2011

HUH! That sounds a lot like the issue I had with my monitor. D'you connect via DVI by chance, if you're able to use a different output try that. Mines fine on VGA.

MightyMission · Aug 13, 2011

i had a similar problem with my first 470,first it was a driver issue,then it wouldnt work in the primary pci-e so i used onboard video then wiped all drivers in safe mode and reinstalled the driver before the one that messed up (if that makes sense?!) and it was back to life again..
It was very odd though because bios would beep that no recognised video was installed.
once it was wiped of drivers and installed in pci-e #2 it worked but showed up as 2 470s in device manager,once crossed out..

dont flash it unless it makes the bios beeps telling you its fecked.Even then,its safer to use it as a secondary in SLi than flashing it.

It was one long beep and 3 shorts beeps IIRC

Innocent:they have dual dvi and 2 HDMI,though it could be worth using one of those adaptors to change the output to analog.

Yeah I have no analogue ports so I'm using a VGA to DVI adapter and it works fine. I was referring to the monitor really, should have made that a bit clearer.

What a fuckin nub I am today lmao, so as I explained last night the PC was booting up just before the log on prompt and bluescreening, anyway I reinstalled Windows and it loaded fine though would not get to the log in prompt when Windows installed the Nvidia driver or if I installed the latest ones myself, I was just getting a black screen. Long story short it is not an issue with my monitor as such though as soon as I read your comment I had a moment of clarity and realised that when I reinstalled Windows and the Nvidia drivers I still had my TV hooked up and because it hadn't been configured in the NV control panel options it defaults to my TV and my monitor displays a blank screen until I set it correctly :nutkick:

Still concerned about the BSOD so am going to be running some tests tonight but turns out my GPU (touchwood) is fine. Hopefully my old Windows installation just got corrupted and it wasn't a hardware problem, will post back with any findings :rockout:

Oh btw the moment of clarity was just as I was about to pull the trigger on a HD 6870 from OCUK as well lmao

MightyMission · Aug 13, 2011

i didnt know you could get vga to dvi - only vice versa,
i wish i would have known that before i changed my boys monitor!

Glad you didnt go down the road of flashing the bios Nd!

You get them with most GPU's as GPU's only have DVI, well most of them anyway.

MightyMission · Aug 13, 2011

sorry maybe the sun fried my brain aswell as my body today,i was trying to describe the opposite of the ones bundled with gpu's
VGA D sub to DVI.

InnocentCriminal · Aug 13, 2011

You can get them but yeah, sorry I typed it incorrectly, it's a standard DVI to VGA converter. Just I put VGA first as that's how it came out in my head, VGA cable to a DVI converter, to a DVI port.

Again, my bad.

Jaffakeik · Aug 14, 2011

Thats because DVI carries the RGB signal for backwards compatibility with VGA.
