Vista - Show us your rig

Will this eVGA Precision program work with any system, and any graphics card. I thinking about tinkering with this OC stuff.

Can you post a link to the FTW model or the price of it??

I'd rather get the mobo that supports faster memory....

Here you go 96.

haha yes.... for the moment but...... eventually a amd quad (either the 9950 or on of the new denebs) a new mobo and a 3870 (at least on crossfire prolly) will go in this case as i have said before....... specs are subject to change without notice...... lol

pizzaman, I'd highly... Highly recommend the new deneb II over the older quads from AMD.. get the Phenom II 920.. or the 940 at 3.0 Ghz would be a great choice, as you'd get some decent OC's from it.

and bassfisher, No, evga precision is for GPU's ONLY.. it's a overclocking/monitoring program, but I've tried many from RivaTuner, to nTune, to Nvidia System Tools, to some no namer.. and eVGA precision is by far the best.

You can control ANY Nvidia card, so that means eVGA, ASUS, XFX, Sparkle, PNY.. etc.. anything that is a Nvidia card, it doesn't support ATI. i use it on my brothers XFX 8800 alpha dog with no problems.

I have my precision set to start on startup, and start minimized also. So you don't have another window poping up. it's just nicely in the system tray. it's a great program. I recommend it for all Nvidia users.

also, 96 accord, those are the correct links to newegg.com that someone posted. I've actually emailed newegg.com and asked them to add FTW! to the higher priced one that is listed, as they have the same titles and it confuses some people. I'm over at evga.com forums and have seen a few peeps get the non FTW edition on accident, and it cannot run SLI in full PCI-E 16x speeds. it's got 2 PCI-E slots but SLI only runs in 8x, but the FTW runs in full SLI. (If you understand that) not to mention the solid-state caps, and the higher OC. Plus the regular 750i SLI is DDR2-800, and the 750i SLI FTW is DDR2-800 (OC to 1066).. if you get ram with EPP. it will go to 1066 for you. and be all good, but if it's something like G-skill, they don't have EPP in there chips, and it will read as DDR2-6400 in that board. (EPP is Enhanced Performance Profile) some ram have it built in, like I had 2x2GB G-skill 1066, and they showed as ddr2-800 in my 750i ftw, because they don't have the EPP. and I could never.. ever get them stable at rated 1066, highest stable that ram was at 933.. anything higher I got blue screens... but I now have Corsair Dominator 1066 2x2GB ram. and it showed up as 1066 right away, and setting to 1120 Mhz was a breeze.

Good Luck, I'd suggest spending the extra $49 and get the better FTW edition, just in case you want to run SLI in the future (I said I wasn't going to need it, but I have it now) plus the better one has a MIR.. so it would even out. Jump on that.

See, in his link.. look at both of them. on the top one where it says PCI-Express 2.0 16x: They run at 2.0x8.. Single slot will be 16x full speed PCI-E (Like was intended) but SLI won't run at full SLI 16x

then the bottom, more expensive one says: 2.. just meaning both slots run at full 16x.

yes i think that would be a good one............. o and ram update today (I hope.....)

Thanks for taking the time to go into detail to explain the difference! Really helps out alot! I thought everyone kept saying FTW just because. lol not because there was a better model out there lol

Yup.. For The Win! and it does help, it's a good board.

Good Luck man, don't hesitate to ask me questions.

Damn decisions........ why can't it all be easy..

now I am looking at the regular 780i....
