thanks for the input guys. and thanks guy i might take you up on that. ill call you if need be.

thanks for your input cubes!

comp has 4 gig ram, core 2 extreme(quad core), 768 3d card(overkill) and most games i can crank up.. a few stall but with grid it glitches and freezes up like crazy. running 1920x1200 res... hoping xp will fix this issue and just not happy with vista on the whole.

I have alot of mates who use vista and haven't heard of the issue's your describing i would almost put it down to being a dell

just because they claimed it was the fastest ns whatever if they used inferior parts for memory or graphics card your going to end up with alot of problems

i also know nvidia aren't that great with there drivers so it may be a case of searching if other people are experienceing the same problems with dell systems or the same graphics drivers

just as an example with the game grid i was having corrupted gfx on the demo so i rolled my drivers back and was all good now i have the full version and even newer driver haven't seen that problem since

i also know nvidia aren't that great with there drivers so it may be a case of searching if other people are experienceing the same problems with dell systems or the same graphics drivers

*cough* Nvidia drivers are probably the most solid drivers out there on the market. If you're using beta/alpha drivers then you're bound to have issues, but historically Nvidia have had much better drivers than ATI. That said, I've owned ATI and Nvidia and both have had isolated incidents with driver releases from time to time...

-D

3d card is nvidia 768 x 16 8800 ultra. how would i update drivers?

will try that before i whipe it.

www.nvidia.com

go to download drivers

enter 8800 ultra as the gfx type. download the release that suits your operating system (vista)

Once downloaded, Run it. Voila, new driver installed.

hmmm moving house sucks.

me and the missus are putting our unit up for rent, after spending mega bucks on a re-furb.

it went into the paper on sat, and the net >click here<

we have 3 couples coming through it tonight for an inspection!

one couple has offered more then the weekly rent, they want it so bad!

but the real estate agend doesnt like the look of them lol.

its all good though saving more money FTW

moving back with missus mum FTL

having a double garage all to myself FTW

real estate agent fees, FTL

I'm in the talks at the moment with the bank ... looking at bidding on a massive 4 bedroom home (with 2 double garages) on a huge block of land :(

If I get that house, I'm def throwing a house warming party!!!!!

*fingers crossed*

Well for what its worth my specs..

All using the latest drivers from the respective websites.

Gigabyte EP35-DS3

Gigabyte 8600GT @ 1680x1050

All rock solid memtest (test 5 and 8 for 24hrs) and prime stable.

Runs Grid fine no hang ups or stutters.

I had a slight issue when I was running a 400fsb where it was rock solid in prime and memtest yet BF2 would still randomly drop to the desktop. Dropped it back to 333 with the same overclok and its now fine.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
