Well to be honest, I built my computer myself this was my first time doing it. I could not believe how easy it was. The resources we have today on the internet made it so. Sure you can do it yourself! The only thing I think that makes things difficult about building a computer once you have all the compatible parts and what not, is trouble shooting it if it does not work. Essentially putting in a new Power Supply is just 4 screws and plugging in some cables. As long as you are grounded and don't cause any static shock to the system the installation shouldn't be difficult at all. Another good thing about a replacement part like that is if it is defective you can always try the old one again to prove that it is defective. There are more than enough youtube videos that will help you decide if it is something you can do ^^Quote:

I dont want to make a new thread for this because last thread I made with information got the crap trolled out of it. This applies for the people running SLI.
I installed these various NVIDIA drivers and used the SLI profile that I had provided in an earlier post. This one.
Setting ID_0x0076e164 = 0x00000009
Setting ID_0x00a06946 = 0x000240f5
Setting ID_0x1033cec1 = 0x00000003
Setting ID_0x1033cec2 = 0x00000002
Setting ID_0x1033dcd2 = 0x00000004
Setting ID_0x1033dcd3 = 0x00000004
Setting ID_0x10930f46 = 0x00000089
Setting ID_0x1095def8 = 0x02506405
Setting ID_0x10ecdb82 = 0x00040000
I am currently running beta drivers 267.46. My SLI results using that profile ended up 7498 on stock GPU settings.
When I upgraded to the later beta drivers 267.84 and 270.32 and administered that profile I took a 2000 point hit. It was as using the provided NVIDIA profile which usually capped me out at around 5500. I don't know for sure if there was anything I missed I did everything the way I usually do it but when I switched back to 267.46 my results returned to normal. Everything from 266.58 to 267.46 seemed to run that SLI profile fine for me and gave me the huge performance boost. This is just an FYI in case you were going to install 267.84 or 270.32

I just stopped in here to ask if everyone with a nvidia video card knows about the pre-rendered frames trick? In the nvidia control panel, set your pre-rendered frames to 0 for FFXIV and it'll give your FPS a nice bump.

I need a motherboard that supports a i7 920, sli and has enough room to fit 2x gtx 460's, any suggestions?

03-25-2011, 06:59 AMMolly_MillionsThe trick was well known during beta for those with not so great (or new) gaming rigs. But I still do it even after I've upgraded my machine, and it still gives a small fps boost.Quote:
