Looks like Nvidia played a Christmas joke on you. Cut it.

I know the one I was selling has 8 plugs, easy to access xD

It is supposed to have 8 holes, it looks like the plastic/metal cover is defective, probably formed improperly, covering the whole.

Thats cool, but the 50 bucks I saved was worth the 20 sec it took or push back the deformed plastic.

I just overreacted. :eek:

Ain't 280's fun!!! Love my little beastie...

SK-1 · Dec 25, 2008

Nice frames in Crysis.

Just as a comparative.

Hey how do you get the temperature to show in EVGA Precision?

In settings, highlight the option you want to be displayed, then check the box below.

Kursah · Dec 25, 2008

Just allow it to be shown in the OSD, there's an option under the monitorring tab. :toast:

Edit: Sk1 beat me to it!

There is a first for everything.

And I have never played cod this smooth on this monitor.

Binge · Dec 25, 2008

My thanks guys

I appreciate the info, and I'm surprised I did not see this sooner!

That better be at stock speeds.

Either that or you gotta take your sli and put it in the correct slots.

BTW thanks to this thread I can see that my GTX280 hits amazing temperatures

Amazingly high?

I am @3.6, stock card speeds with 170 series drivers. I am going for the new ones 180ish I think.

I don't think Nvidia cares much for 3dMark06 anymore. Nvidia's big push now is Vantage, so I cant wait to see what these 2 guys will do with that benchmark. Or when my 3rd 280 gets here. :cool:

Binge · Dec 25, 2008

with sli 280 stock I get much better scores in 06
...

By amazing I mean overclocked to what's in my system specs @ 66C under load.

Now come on guys, other than the 280's my shit is at least 1 or 2 generations behind yours :rolleyes:

You are really surprised by my stock 06' score? Its 06, 4 cores ALWAYS blow a 2 core system out in this benchie. You have more/newer Processors, Motherboards, and memory tech. The term "no shit Sherlock" comes to mind :laugh:

My games are more fluid that the TRI 260 Sli Rig I played with at Showdown this past Fall.
Binge & D, throw up a few screen shot's with FPS of where the real rubber meets the road, games.

DaMulta · Dec 25, 2008

I said noting of games LOL

Also due you have that cpu at 5.0?
