yea, i have 6600gt and i recommend it a lot, i went from geforce4 ti4200 which i thought was great running at max settings, to 9600pro which i couldnt play live to 6600gt, and i got the 6600gt for great price, only 190 dollars, and this card is better than 9800 (Y)

Hey just wondering..which 6600GT did you get?

I've heard a lot of problems of overheating of the GPU core in a lot of the XFX and MSI ones. I checked the temp of my core when it's idle (~38 degrees) and full load with the graph in Rivatuner and mine goes up to as high as around 76 degrees Celsius, which is pretty damn hot. I have no idea how all the reviews have the AGP leadtek one at around ~60 tops. Just wondering what yours is at.

My new Video Card is the 128MB DDR3 ATI Radeon x700 PCI-Express (8 pixel pipelines). I'm running 512MB Corsair XMS DDR400 and the AMD64 3200+ on a DFI LanParty Board. This baby smokes :shock:

No problems with Live '05

Can anyone please help me with my problem... I currently have a GeForce2 MX/MX 400 64MB and doesnt have the resources right now to upgrade it to a better one... I have completely installed the game but the problem is just before the EA screen appears, it just stops to load and it hangs... What can I do to fix it?!? I would gladly accept any suggestions... Thanks...

by **threatlockz** on Thu Mar 03, 2005 3:56 am

change your drivers.

by **j3p0i** on Thu Mar 03, 2005 4:12 am

i tried upgrading my driver to 66.93 but the result was the same... i also tried re-installing the game alot of times now but its still the same... what else can i do?

my processor is 1.6ghz
memory is 512 mb ddr

please help me... im desperate...

by **threatlockz** on Thu Mar 03, 2005 7:05 am

you might wanna try older drivers, since the newest once aren't any good for older cards.

take a look at omegadrivers.net

does your computer freezes? or reboots? or just the game (can you press ctrl-alt-del to get out of it)

maybe this isn't driver related, could be hardware problems, especially since you have a card that old.

by **j3p0i** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 3:01 am

the pc itself doesnt reboot or freeze... its just the game... it stops at the very first screen before the ea logo appears... ill try looking up at old drivers... im just gonna update you if there is any improvement... thanks for the help... if you have any other suggestions, please let me know.... thankz...

by **threatlockz** on Fri Mar 04, 2005 4:09 am

you dont get to see the intro movie? try getting the latest mediaplayer update as well. I've had troubles in the past with intromovies (not nba-live but other games), turned out something was wrong with my mediaplayer and/or codecs.

i had that problem with my old geforce4 card too, dont update to nvidia's latest drivers cuz thats the reason, roll back ur drivers and get omegadrivers and you will be fine

by **2manu0** on Mon May 02, 2005 11:54 pm

i have disabled everything that is running in the background. I use winxp. does it somehow affect the games speed if you have other user accounts?

by **threatlockz** on Tue May 03, 2005 1:06 am

you can try making sure every other user is completely signed off, so no fast-user switch used.

by **ignorantfool** on Wed May 25, 2005 1:44 pm

which is better in quality?

inno3d geforce4 mx 440 agp8x 128mb/128bit w/ tv out.
