XFX GeForce 9600 GT XXX Video Card Issues

okay, i'll take your advice on that just out of principle, thanks a lot. it was a hellride finding an open thread for this card, thanks for the help

Yea I still have not had enough money to get a new one. Hey Rage can you send me the link to that PSU you recommended? Anyway, for some reason, the video card now ket me play for 8 hours at full settings on COD 4 Modern Warfare. Then after the 7th hour it froze again. I don't know why it lasted that long. Any thoughts? Also its back to randomly freezing.

Here is the Newegg URL, although I'd suggest getting it from here instead for cheaper.

As for the fact that it worked for some time, I can't honestly say I know.

One more question Rage, Does that PSU have a 6-pin power cable for my video card? I didnt see it in the listing, information, or pics.

Yes it does. It is listed as a PCI-E connector in the specs.

underclock the card to 555Mhz Core 1000Mhz MEM.
it solved it for me..

well I would have never thought u would have to under clock that card.

DUDE NO. I buy a fast card and I have to underclock it to use it? I will try it anyway but thats like buying a 9800 and then throwing it in the pool. Oh and Rage I found another PSU. How is this one

This one for a 2nd choice

Nah, I wouldn't recommend Ultra either. Go with either OCZ, FSP or Corsair in that price range.

Ok well I will see what I can come up with. Those were the only ones without a rebate as well as $90. I also count more than 3 positive reviews and no negative ones LULZ

The OCZ StealthXStream 500W & 600W models are pretty decent and available for relatively cheap prices. The 500W model provides 34A total on the +12V rails, while the 600W model provides 44A, both being more than enough for your system.

yeh i paid for that overclock to.. but for me its just a solution till i bring it back to the store..
i suggest u do the same.. (ps i have 500W PSU with 19/24A rail, i dont think thats the problem ,cause no problem since underclock and it where about 15 crashes a day ) so why change it?)

I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out to be the Mobo

I bought one of those and have regretted it ever since

I ordered this one "Ultra LS600 Lifetime Series 600W Power Supply - ATX, SATA-Ready, PCI-Express"
