Oof. Well that's just great. From what I can tell, these drivers are a year old >_> Anyway, thanks.

Should have been more specific, but I tried that already. Didn't work.

I'm trying to update the drivers on my laptop, however when I try to install the current driver one of two things happen. If I use the GeForce Experience update option, the driver downloads but doesn't proceed past that point. If I try manually installing the driver, even if I have cleaned out...

10.5 appears to be out for my computer's blood. Installing it resulted in nearly regular BSOD, and now, despite removing it and using older drivers, my computer's speed has been reduced drastically; even a mundane task like opening a folder or the start menu seems to be handled with some...

I looked through the list on the "Read Before Posting" thing, and as far as I know, everything checked out. The only thing I moved around in my PC were the expansion cards. As for my specs: Intel Core2 Quad Q9450 2.66GHz x4 2GB OCZ DDR2 1066 RAM Visiontek Radeon HD4850 HIS Hightech Radeon...

*not sure if this is the right section to post this* Just did some maintenance work on my computer today; cleaning out dust and such. In addition, I took the opportunity to rearrange some of the expansion cards in my computer and install a new Firewire card I'd ordered. Having successfully done...

The main incentive there is that one of the cards I saw was about $30 cheaper than buying a card from the same brand line, but with the same speed as my card. It may become a non-issue, as that particular card has some unfavorable reviews on Newegg regarding it's workings with 64-bit operating...

For the most part, but it doesn't answer the final question I have: would a card lowering its speed potentially cause other problems, or is the lowered clock/memory speed all I'd have to worry about.

Hmm....are there any threads on the forums that discuss using crossfire with cards of different speeds? I'm not sure what search terms to put into Google or the forum search...

Here's the card that matches my current 4850: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161243 Here's the faster, but cheaper card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161244&Tpk=H485QT512P The only differences are that I can see beyond price is that the...

Well thank you very much. Now comes the task of figuring out which brand is better. :\ *much later* I didn't want to make another thread of this, and it is CrossFire related: I think I've narrowed down my choice of a new card to the HIS 4850 cards...

So then it is relatively risk free to combine different brands? Great! That will make things easier. Thanks for the links, too. *shortly after*...
