I had some problems with my modem when i play AX, so it could be possible being hacked by someone, but in this case i believe someone hacked simon's chipset monitor, each monitor can be hacked since the mainboard's chipset if it's corrupted, maybe simon got a virus inside of his mobo, its a huge issue that has had messing around in most pc users of whole world. Causes would come from any way, but i found a virus scan released for search virus on motherboards, maybe it could help you, it helped me...

It's fucked. It doesn't like any driver to be installed, and its not detecting what monitor is plugged in, so i can only use 800*600.

Any suggestions, or is the GPU fucked?

Fuck. Having checked this page on my phone there are no artefacts on that screen shot.

Does that meant the problem is with my monitor? That's why W7 isn't detecting it in the GPU settings and that's why when i installed the nVidia driver W7 wouldn't start maybe?


Hmmmm.

Hmm, have checked the monitor using a macbook and it worked perfectly fine.

So i guess the issue is between my monitor and GPU. Half tempted to reinstalled W7 fresh to see if it makes a difference but cba.

True. Tempted by this one:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sapphire-HD5770-Vapor-Graphics-Card/dp/B00303FRAM/ref=wl_it_dp_o?ie=UTF8&coliid=IIWQZROLOE7PE&colid=2915OANKE5RLR

Going to put the GPU in the other slot on the mb to see if it makes any difference. Might also try another cable if i can borrow one.

If all else fails, shopping time tomorrow.

hmm ATI lol, they don't work very well on gta san andreas :(

GPU wars are about to start :D bring it on fanbois!! :L

i found a review!

Reviewed by: Steff Jones (Swansea)

After Um'ing and Ar'ing over replacing my, let's just say ageing 8800GT - I finally went for it and ordered this, and I'll be forever kicking myself that I wasted 2 weeks thinking about it.

Amazing value for money, and will tackle any games currently out, at either max or high settings.

And as usual OCUK had second to non delivery and came the next day! :)

What are you waiting for?


Buy it!

just not sure about gta san andreas lol
