hmm tis thing is dead now, my cpumark99 thread has obviously taken over . oh yeah, -milt- look at my post count i think Ive entered the ranks of people who need to get out more . i know Ive taken a while searching for a board but I'm doing the best i can, getting adjusted for school and and all as well as some family related probs (who dint have um ?) so thanks for being patient, i like to keep my options open so will we go gigabyte or asus here? the reason i ask is i dint think that the geforce card could pull enough power to harm the gigabyte could it? no future upgrades to video will be made so with this in mind what would be best? (i have a feeling somebody on here is going to fuss at me hehe)

Hi Guys, On my new graphics card i've got settings for 'direct 3d' and 'openGL' I can only select one of these! What are they? Which one should I select? @Charlie I've altered the size of my sig. It's better now

i would choose direct3d if i were you, no paticular reason just something i think would be faster. your sig size is much better now, i think you can get by with that now. QUOTE i like to keep my options open so will we go gigabyte or asus here? the reason i ask is i dint think that the geforce card could pull enough power to harm the gigabyte could it? no future upgrades to video will be made so with this in mind what would be best? im still wondering wich way to go, gigabyte or asus.

The SIS 530 has extremely poort 3D acceleration - poor 3D Mark scores. Always use the latest drivers for it, available at http://download.sis.com/' ">http://download.sis.com/
