By the way I have a gtx 285 and an ex58-ud5 mobo if that helps. Anybody??

So I just connected my pc to my 52" Vizio using a DVI to HDMI cable and then using a stereo cable that converts the one stereo output into red and white inputs for the tv. Does this set up sound right? Because as of now I have no sound, but would really like to have it!! Thanks for any help!!

So I have a Core i7 920 @ 3.6GHz, GTX 285 @ 723/1614/1382. Would I be able to run my computer on a 52" Vizio at 1080P? Maybe not for games, but atleatst watching dvds or tv shows from the net? If so, how do I go about setting this up: what cables do I need, etc. Also, I'm wanting to add a...

So I OC'ed my i7 920 to 3.6GHz on air, it seems to be completely stable. My problem now is with my gtx 285. I've tried a few different OC set ups for it but no matter what, my FPS always goes down from when it's at default settings. What could I be doing wrong?

Really? Ok cool, I'm gonna start oc'ing both then. But what's the best program for checking FPS in games like Crysis, Far Cry 2, etc.?

Well what about gaming performance? Should I be overclocking my CPU or GPU when wanting to increase that?

Ok so I've been messing with oc my 285 but have been getting weird results. Maybe I need to use a different benchmark to measure gpu performance? But I've been using 3dmark06. My first score, with everything standard was around 16400. But after tweaking the card numerous times with rivatuner all...

Ya I'm wanting to OC my GPU but am wondering what I should use: ATItool or RivaTuner? Also it's running at 46C idle right now, that's already a little hot right?

Yes, I tried downloading it and it says the file already exists. But I overwrote it thinking maybe I installed it wrong the first time...no luck still.

It's Windows Vista Home 64-bit. No it's yet to work. Yes it's new and has a driver disk (I installed the drivers from the disk), but no luck yet.

Hm, well I checked the GPU temps and they were at 46C. That's a little high for idle right?

Hey I'm using the EX58-UD5 and the onboard LAN will not work. I'm wondering if I need to flash the bios or what needs to be done to solve the problem. I'm hoping this is a common issue and that it could be solved pretty easily.

Thanks, if I end up getting another card, that will be the one I go for.

Alright, what program do you use to monitor the GPU's temp?

Ok I see. Well I might be adding either a second GTX 285 or a GTX 295 pretty soon, what would this do to my score? Would the 285s in SLi be better than a single 295?
