I had the exact same problem when I got my previous rig (no th2go involved in this case). Random BSODs with the same nvidia file. Then, I found out that my 8800GTX card was more recent than the mobo Crosshair. So I just updated the mobo bios and everything was going well after that. I hope this help...

I received all the stuff yesturday and I built the monster ... nothing works ! I've been on it all the night and still not working, I don't even have any screen displayed. The CPU cooler gets hot really quick and the fan is running at very very low speed. I noticed that when I don't plug the 12Vx2 c...

I beleave you are wrong....I have the old Antec 900 and I have enough slots for Tri SLI! And I had a clan member check to see if his 1200 case had enough slots, and he dose. You must be using a odd MB???? Are you trying to use Tri SLI and a sound card? Yeah the UD4P mobo looks like having a weird d...

I still think the Antec 1200 is the best case...


Yeah, I looked at it but, it is not compatible with the 3-way SLi ! For 3-way Sli, you need 8 expansion slots while this case has 7. Only the Skeleton and the Nine Hundred Two has 8 slots !

cool rig, just remember with the Antec Skeleton there in no room for a big CPU heatsink so don't splash out on one of those until you have done some measuring! I read some reviews about that lack but I'm not planning to OC it right now. But, do the heatsink made for socket 775 fits the socket 1366 ?

Finally, after reading many many many reviews and comparisons, and learning about SLi and 3-way SLi, I ordered it today. I gave the OK to my computer seller guy for those specs: - Gigabyte EX58-UD4P - Intel Core i7 920 - Kingston DDR3 6gb 1333mhz - 2x Gigabyte GTX285 - Antec Skeleton - Antec Quattro...

the GTX295 is already an SLI card (internal) so you'd only be able to add one latter. I would personally go for 2 gtx285's (if you can afford it). Other wise the 295 will be fine. Damn ! I didn't realized that ! So does that mean it won't be as powerful as it should in unoptimized sli games like FS...

Ok, so I'm about to buy a brand new setup to change the actual. I already have the screens, TH and I keep the same case. I just change the internal components. I change because I need better performances, I have 2 burned USB ports and my sister needs a new rig too and I'll give her my actual. What I...

I am unable to select 5040x1050 in FSX-X with "Preview DirectX 10" checked.

But I do when the button is unchecked.

I got 5040x1050 to work thanks to all the information from this post! This is a step in the right direction for matrox. But it is not very smooth, when I change...

Don't forget that you still need a DX10 video card and Windows Vista in addition to FSX SP2 ...

inteljoc, sorry for sounding dunce, but what or where is the "preview directX 10" checkbox? Is that within the FSX software, or something in windowsnvidia dispay settings? In FSX settings since you have SP2 or Acceleration Pack. PS: I took the pic from Google images, not from my screen.

I tried with the 175.19 driver without success. Then I removed the "Preview DirectX 10" checkbox, restarted FSX and then .... 5040x1050x32 is there. I selected that resolution, put back the checkbox, restarted the game ... 3840x1024x32 is the highest. So maybe it has something to do with the DX10 in...

I also bought TH2G Digital few days ago when I heard about 16:10 resolutions. I already had a 22" Acer AL2223W and I added two Samsung 2243BWX. They all support 57Hz but the Samsungs always remind me to put the optimal resolution of 1680x1050@60Hz when I change the resolution or I go back to 57Hz. F...

Same problem here. I just bought TH2G with 2 new 22" screens yesturday. I can get 5040x1050@57Hz in the desktop but not in FSX. The highest available is 3840x1024@60Hz. I tried with the SGU optimization without success. Now I did what Mark B proposed by uninstalling/reinstall the latest PowerDesk so...
