I think all I have is ELS and one car mod since my last fresh install a week or 2 ago. Hoping it all works out, if not I will just reinstall everything.

Me to, just finished removing it. Ready and waiting.

You are right, because asking a question was not using my brain. Sorry I will refrain next time. SMH Thank you. Reading it now.

I use an Xbox 360 controller but for shooting quickly switch to keybord and mouse.

Maybe this has been covered before but can anyone tell me........ Will this new release be able to be installed over the old one or would a fresh GTA install be required?

Ok thank you for the help.

Ok, any idea how long they will be offline? Can I link my account after the install?

It asked for my user name and password, I entered it and hit next. Does the error above indicate a problem with that?

Ok so I am doing a fresh install and ran into this. Installation component 'LCPDFirstResponse' error'd! at G17MediaSetupEngine.Stuff.MakeServiceCall(String urloverride) at G17MediaSetupEngine.Installation_Components.LCPDFRComponent.endComponent() at G17MediaSetupEngine.UI.Interface.wizardControl1_SelectedPageChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) at G17MediaSetupEngine.UI.Interface.wizardControl1_SelectedPageChanged(Object sender, EventArgs e) Any takers? Yes legal copy Yes run as admin yes yes yes

I can garrote I will be there lol. I have no clue how I made it all work before but I know it involved several people on this forum.

Attempting a fresh install of GTA as we speak in anticipation. It's been a LONG time. wish me luck.

Fraps does make some massive files. I think my last ETS2 video was upwards of 15GB for a 20 minute video. GTA is on my C Drive "R* demanded it" but the rest of my games are on a 1TB external drive which is also the drive I record to with no issues.

This is the exact card I have http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=4588147 I wish it were that inexpensive when I got it lol According to the software the GPU clock stock is 550 and the memory is 400. I got the GPU up to 650 and the memory to 450. I am sure I can go higher but worry about exactly how high I can go. Right now with ETS2 "settings on high" it is running at 75C, I was wandering so I set the clocks back to the way they were and it ran at 74C in the same game so the over clocking did not cause but 1 degree temp difference with the card. Upgrading the card at this point is not going to happen as any week the new system will start getting put together, Just trying to squeeze every bit of performance I can out of this one before handing it down. P.S. The fan on my card burned out early this year, I could not get it replaced so had to settle for an aftermarket one with new heat sync which is going out now as well. I wander if there is a half way decent fan and heat sync I can get for this card that will last more than a few months. Just to add a giggle here is a part of the description. HD gaming huh? "The PNY NVIDIA® GeForce® 9400 GT 1024MB graphics card offers a powerfully immersive entertainment experience designed for high-definition gaming and video playback. Play the hottest Microsoft® DirectX® 10 games with awesome speed and watch the latest HD DVD and Blu-ray Disc® movies with brilliant clarity"

My machine is not high end by far, I only have issues with Fraps in GTA, my frames drop to single digets at times, other games like ETS2 I stay around 30-40FPSS.

My card has never gotten that hot. Right now it is running at 49C. At its peak I have seen it hit 74-75 while gaming. The whole system is old, I am putting a new one together soon but just want to get every bit I can from this one. GeForce 9800GT with 1 gig of ram, 4 gigs on the mb and a funny old Pentium D 2.8GHz processor. As far as cooling I have 4 case fans. 2 blowing in and 2 out and on the CPU I have a massive Arctic Cooling heatsynk and fan. The fan on my GPU burned up earlier this year so I have an aftermarket heatsynk and fan there as well. One thing that I know is biting me in the butt is Vista Home Prem. It came on this computer when I purchased it though I like Vista but the next computer will not have it. For what it's worth I just noticed I made a booboo, it's a 9400GT not a 9800GT. I also just got the following that might help.

It's one of those "Play for free" games on Steam.

Interesting, Fraps is the best I have used. Is there a better one out there?

And bad driving

I recently found I can over clock my GPU using Precision X. It is a GeForce 9800GT "I know a couple years old" and the program will allow me to over clock. The program says right now my "GPU Clock" is at 550MHz and my "Memory Clock" is at 400Mhz. Fan speed 100% running at 51C. It will not allow me to change the voltage. Last night while playing with it I over clocked it apparently to far and crashed the computer. I read I should be able to overclock this card as far as I can assuming I stay at safe temps "apparently not" So my question now is what should I set these at? If I set them at the maximum "That you recommend" will I notice a performance increase that I can see or is it pointless trying to over clock this card at all? Suggestions? Comments? Concerns?
