Hmm, see right now I just turned on the computer, it WAS little blurry for a couple of minutes, but not exactly when i turn it on, mabey 5 minutes into it it started blurring, however I think that the issue isn't anything inside the case or the card itself which is working perfectly fine, but the connection between monitor and the card. Sometimes when its blurry and i move the cable a bit it clears or gets worse, example today I moved the cable around a bit and its perfect now.
But you guys might be right, the monitor isn't such a good one as its a budget one
Ill have to keep track of when it keeps happening and how I do or don't get rid of the blur every time.
It doesn't bother me so much to be honest, but the fact that something may be wrong does

I dont know if the blur is a power supply issue or a heating issue, when I play a game its not blurry, and when i leave it idle or just turn it on it starts to blur
I can assume in idle it takes less power than when im playing, so Im not 100% sure its with power.

I'm not sure weither to say there is a major problem or not, but I AM experiencing blur problems on the desktop.
Now I have been monitoring the trends, since the weather is colder now, I think the blur is being cause by the card not being heated well enough..
When I launch a game the blur tends to go away..
Is this logical? Or theres something wrong?

I dont understand why everybody complains that 900 degrees is so hard! I cant use anything less for drifting if I have the ffb on, which its usually around 55.
From day 1 I got the wheel I just used 900 degrees and I got used to it.Not necessarily drifting right away, but racing all that I can do it.

I had another notebook, not this computer with the tower and Nvidia 8600. The notebook had intel integrated and it played fine. I don't know why you guys give it such a bad rating, but I used to get 40-50fps mabey up to 100 sometimes.

The Nvidia 8600 is a great card, Ive never owned any other graphics card before, but I got the Nvidia 8600 and its never let me down no matter what game I play. I don't think you will be disappointed.
I had the same problem, and the solution for me was to plug in the g25 only when I am going to play with it. Sometimes when i start my pc with the wheel plugged in it does that, mabey 1/100 times.
Ok, card is working great, Ive been looking around for a power supply, the only brand i can really find in stores is Antec. I was wondering if this is a good brand. Im looking to get around 500 watts.
You go under options when the profiler is open, then go to "Global device settings"
Thanks for the help guys.
Everythings working great, I get such good video quality.
I enjoy playing lfs on max resolution, using the g25 at the same time feels like a real race car
Well I got curious the other day, and I opened the case to see what had gone on in 2 weeks of use.
I touched the card and I couldn't help but noticing it was pretty warm.
Should I get a fan for the graphics card, The card has on board fan but I'm not sure its working so well as the card was pretty hot.
I understand about all the hazards that can happen if the card heats up too much.
Oh and guys 1 more problem:
Not all the time, but OCCASIONALLY when I'm not rendering 3d textures in a game, just surfing the internet or doing school work, the screen goes a bit blurry. When i go back in game it fixes it self. I'm not sure why this is happening but I'm worried this might cause a problem in the future.(This generally happens right when I turn the computer on or right after I leave a game, it hasn't happen today though.

Its 8600GT ddr3 super clocked.
You know I was actually looking at the 7900. I have a friend who I asked and he said it was simply a better idea to get a newer card. Not that it was better or worse, but simply for the fact its newer, which I think its better in the long run.
As for fps,
battlefield 2- everything on high I run at average 100 fps.
Call of duty 4-everything on high i run at 100-125 mabey 130-140 maximum.
Lfs runs 140+ on the blackwood straighter way, but it slows down to about 60 when I go to pits in full room.
Thanks for helping everybody, only one problem thats the missing case sticker, but thats not so important for me.

I bough the NVIDIA 8600 GT and it works with 300watts.
The problem was a broken graphics card I assume. I didn't have to disable anything it just worked the first time I tried.

I've checked my power supply its 300watt.
But I see no reason why it still should not work.
Does this mean I still must replace the power supply?
Upcoming weekend I will take action to resolving problem.
Are there any more suggestions?
I'm unsure if my power supply can support anything 8 series.
I really don't know what the problem was last time, I hope to resolve any issues.

The missing wire is the one next to the fan that connects to the body of the card. http://www.noteforum.co.kr/trash/5hmfyd6cdw7.jpg
I would like to get a good card but my budget is where the 8400's price is.
Also I'm not even sure if my power can handle the 8400 but it should.
Your right I should consider the 7600gt, but I think my friend said it right when he said that anything less than 8400 will be one generation older, and technically the 8400 isn't a very new card itself. Mabey I will look into ATI but I think Nvidia is better for performance and reliability.
As to what I will do next... I'm not sure.
But my integrated card isn't so bad...
I can play lfs mabey 150fps maximum average is around 40-50.
But ill tell you i want to play Battlefield 2 and Call of Duty 4, my computer wont even launch those games

Upgrade help needed
So recently I decided to upgrade my graphics card so I can get better play back and be able to play more games on my computer.
I had a integrated intel graphics card before ( I'm not sure if its really considered a graphics card).
So my friend told me he purchased the Nvidia XFX 8400 510mb for 50$. I didn't know much about cards. Did quite a bit of research and saw it was a farily good deal considering the price of the other 8 series cards. So I went and purchased it. Came in a shiny and appealing box lol anyways.
Opened my computer and saw the pci-e slot.
Opened the port.
Placed the card( actually difficult because the end piece with the extending metal had trouble fitting because the board the slot was on was spaced above the metal.
Checked the insertion it looked good. So i closed up the case and turned on the computer. I still had the same cable to the monitor in the same slot.
When it got to the windows xp screen it froze. Restarted and it loaded all the way. I tried to install the drivers but it said no devices found. Did install hardware wizard didn't even recognize the Nvidia card i had just placed. I got nervous. Tried many times. I even turned the computer on when the case was open to see if the card's fan was even spinning and it wasn't.
I returned it cause i didn't wanna be stuck with a mis working card.
My system:
1gb ram
windows XP service pack 2
dell brand
power supply is 300watts.
Now I have come to some conclusions but i still need assistance.
1. The card may have been broken ( When i look at the internet picture and the real card there was 1 wire from fan to card missing)
2. I didn't deactivate the intergrated card party because i was afraid it would mess everything up because the card wasn't even recognized in the first place! But every tutorial I see it says it will do it automatically, mabey because I have DELL brand?
3. Power supply was too small. I checked with my friends they said its too small. Yet some people disagree and I went to ask FIREDOG at Circuit City if it was too small, they said they have an 8400 on 300watt powersupply.
4. Unknown problem
Please any suggestions/assistance/help will be appreciated.
I mostly want to hear some advice on what to do.
Thanks everybody, I know its a long problem but I'm very desperate to get 8 series card because the 7 series and below is just too outdated. I currently have my eye on the Nvidia 8400 GS 512mb, I'm not really interested in an ATI card.

Hello everybody.
I want to introduce myself and tell you that I have been playing LFS for over a year now.
I got the Logitech g25 racing wheel a little while ago and I must say its fun and great to use. I enjoy drifting in LFS which in my opionion is one of the best drifting games there is.
I have been reading the fourms for a while as a guest and enjoy the great conversations and skins everybody posts and overall I really enjoy the sense of community here amongst all the players and the relation between players and developers!
I hope to get s2 license soon.
Regards
