    Wacom Intuos3 loose flap

    I wasn't sure whether I should post this in the graphic design forum or this one, but since it is hardware... Has anybody acquired one of these tablets recently and noticed the matte drawing flap is not completely adhered to the plastic, almost like they tried to give it the tracing feature...

    Slow 2D Performance with GeForce 6800GT

    Don't really think it has anything to do with this, but does anyone know of a way to change the AGP speed from within WinXP, my mobo's bios doesn't allow changing of this. Also, the main memory is running in single channel mode rather than dual channel... pretty sure that has to do with the type...

    Slow 2D Performance with GeForce 6800GT

    You may be right on that one fantasi. I really hoped I wouldn't have to do the whole RMA thing, but I'm thinking about it.

    Slow 2D Performance with GeForce 6800GT

    I can't believe I'm still experiencing the slow 2D. I mean, I can only take so much before I'm forced to switch to a different card... *cough* X800 *cough* Updated to WHQL'd 61.82's today, nada 2D improvement. Was previously using beta 66.81's.

    Slow 2D Performance with GeForce 6800GT

    Hehe, yeah that's true. I'm kinda afraid to mess with the advanced timings, might blow up the monitor.... hmm....

    Slow 2D Performance with GeForce 6800GT

    Ok, I know it's been a long time since the last post, but here's an update: I've tried updating the card's bios, mobo's bios, forceware of all versions since 61.77, and nothing is helping (I'm using 66.32 now). Although... briefly after updating forceware each time everything is smooth for a...

    Slow 2D Performance with GeForce 6800GT

    Yep, all the latest drivers for everything. Just found the 65.62's and installed them too. They haven't really made any difference either. Overall game performance seems to be up a little though :)

    Slow 2D Performance with GeForce 6800GT

    Hmm, I would like to try those new 65.62's... Anybody know where I can find the version that works with cards other than Quadro?

    Slow 2D Performance with GeForce 6800GT

    Just wondering... has anyone has experienced slow 2D performance on any of the 6800 series cards? I've noticed a general lag when minimizing/maximizing windows in XP, and weird video overlay issues. The image quality is nice, but it just doesn't seem as if 2D is even accelerated at times. I...

    Tooltips slow games to a crawl

    First of all, thank you all muchly for your insight into this problem. Any advice is very well appreciated. I understand the concept of XP's cpu scheduling scheme, and that very well may contribute to this. But the fact still remains is the issue ONLY happens when AA/AF are turned on. As far...

    Tooltips slow games to a crawl

    LeeJend: I mean Windows XP tooltips.... but why would process focus make any difference? Sazar: DX9 Renderless is an output setting for Media Player Classic, and you can get it at http://sourceforge.net/projects/guliverkli I mean, I'm not being picky or anything, but this kinda problem...

    Tooltips slow games to a crawl

    Well, just to clarify further... say my desktop res is at 1280x1024, and I'm running a game windowed in 1024x768. If I move the cursor down to the taskbar/quicklaunch bar and a tooltip for a shorcut pops up, that's when the game slows down. It doesn't matter whether the tooltip overlaps the game...
