• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Tried every trick I could think of to no avail, my sky was in panels, with distinct Lines where they joined.
I was running a Geforce 8600 Factory OC 680megs, But Here's the rub, only 256mb DDR3

My 8800 with PSU is still waiting in the wings

Picked Up .. Very Cheap an 8600, 540meg, 512mb Video Memory DDR2

The Lines are now History, to me it's Phase 2&1/2

Moral: use enough memory :applause::applause:
 
Good news. Yes, the 8600 cards are getting super cheap lately. I bought one in February for just over $100 and now I see them going for as cheap as $35. Wow.

And there's a very good reason why they sell for that kind of money. They might make a good conversation piece....but they aren't really much use for gaming at all:kilroy:

Agreed . .if they were heavier they'd make a great paperweight, but if you're limited to Low - Wattage, an 8600 is better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick :d

Yep, little argument there. At least it was an improvement for GG over what he had. Now if he can just get that 8800 installed life will be truly good. I traded in my 8600 for an 8800 last month and there certainly is a big difference.
