Based on your description and screenshots, I'd say it looks more like a problem with the rendering path than with the card itself. The most obvious solution might be to reinstall the latest available DirectX, then reinstall the latest chipset drivers for your mobo and the latest graphics drivers...

I figure that would draw about ~430 watts, plus whatever fans you have in your chassis. That'd be pushing it really closely to the maximum possible wattage of your PSU. If it's a generic PSU I'd doubt it can handle that for very long, if at all, and could end up frying your whole system. I...

Did you even read my post? I asked you to keep it civil, and also gave a $5 suggestion that would get the job done. Which part did you not understand? Sheesh.

It's times like this I hate being staff. OK, here's the deal: Let's keep the flames off the board please. If not, I'll have to pull out the ban hammer, and nobody wants that (including me). Back on topic, macbeton is actually correct in the technical sense. Bluetooth is really better suited to...

The sysctl settings I gave you increase the network buffers by several times. They should help in the case of multiple simultaneous connections, but might make it worse for a single connection. You can always try different values there to find your sweet spot. After making a change, you can...

How are you measuring latency? If you're measuring based on ICMP echo requests or similar, it won't really apply if your game is using UDP for data. See here for a brief look at setting UDP buffer sizes: http://www.29west.com/docs/THPM/udp-buffer-sizing.html

These are warnings. It probably means you're installing the kernel on a newer distro than the one it was packaged with (Debian Lenny).

I moved this to a new thread, since it doesn't have much to do with the HWF kernel thread. Ahh, building a CS server. I've hosted game servers over the years, but none recently and not CS in any case. So, I can't really help with the specifics of that particular game. However, the suggestions...

They're not errors per se. It's just that the kernel timer should have been 1000Hz and it's actually 250Hz, which is the Linux default value, on the latest prescott and x2 builds. It's not an urgent matter but you will get more responsiveness out of the fixed version than the bugged one. If...

Crap, looks like my build scripts must've stepped on my configs in 2 cases: $ grep CONFIG_HZ_1000 /home/builder/kernel/hwf/BUILDS/*/linux-2.6.31.5/.config /home/builder/kernel/hwf/BUILDS/centrino/linux-2.6.31.5/.config:CONFIG_HZ_1000=y...

It's tough to make a specific recommendation without knowing your budget or your requirements. However, I can say that NewEgg has a good selection, and they are a great vendor to deal with: Newegg.com - Laptops, Notebooks, Cheap Laptops, HP Notebooks, Toshiba Laptops, Laptop, HP Laptop...

5 years is a long time for a cheap optical drive like those shipped in consumer-grade Toshiba laptops. It probably needs to be replaced. However, I haven't been able to determine if it's the modular slim-ODD type or if it's directly integrated. In the former case, you may be able to replace it...

The HWF kernel is tuned for low-latency usage, e.g. to be ideal for desktop, gaming, multimedia, or game-server usage. The kernel timers are set for 1000Hz, and all applicable preemption settings are enabled. Each kernel is built from vanilla sources from kernel.org. The configuration is based...

From our hosting provider, ServInt: EDIT: Maintenance is over, normal service should resume uninterrupted.

Mint = Ubuntu, which doesn't tend to play nice with 3rd party kernels. I'm afraid if you want to run a custom kernel, mainline Debian might be a better option.

Is the PCIE header from the PSU plugged firmly into the card? How to the 12V+ rails look in the system health screen of the BIOS?

Make sure your RAM is running at the rated voltage in addition to the correct timings. I just found out the other day that on auto, my mobo had been undervolting the RAM for the last 6 months and a stick finally failed. Whoops, manual voltage from now on. Use the latest build of Memtest86+...

Kernel 2.6.30.5 available 2.6.31.5 is built and currently being synced to kernel.hardwareforums.com. As usual with bugfix releases, it is recommended to upgrade if you're running a HWF kernel. Get it here 2.6.31.5 Changelog

I'll be performing an OS upgrade at 21:00 PST, during which the forums and Zone365.com may be slow or unreachable. This process took anywhere from 5 to 15 minutes on the several hosts where I've already performed the upgrade, and went without a hitch. EDIT: Finished, the process went fine...

Thanks for the kind words saba. It wasn't much fun to be honest; I've been so busy with my full-time job and family, it's really hard to make time for an in-depth review (let alone two!) ...I'm sure you understand. Still, I would normally enjoy doing hardware reviews otherwise. Oh, and I...
