I'm thinking on what has become my yearly upgrade. This year I think it will be just a new GPU. What's the advice on the most cost effective, and project effective, GPU right now?

Thanks Art

Urs if you're referring to User account control go here:
Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\User Accounts
Choose "Change User Account Control Settings". Set it to minimum for no nagging, or a position of your choice.

If you meant  the so-called "god mode" here's one link of many with instructions:
http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-10423985-285/understanding-windows-7s-godmode/

Gives instant access to all those things now hidden in W7 that were more accessible in XP.

Regards
Art

    This will at least give you something to work with.

Mike:
Depends on how much you want to pay.

450 and 460 are a good choice.
And 560 TI if you have the skills to control it.
Also 6850 and 5850.

regards
Mike

I expect Urs was looking for control of the 2 seconds a GPU kernel can run before Windows thinks it has hung and forces a reinitialization. He's probably already found it, but the MSDN Timeout Detection and Recovery of GPUs through WDDM article defines the registry keys and how they interact. A web search for TdrDelay or TdrLevel turns up many pertinent discussions with advice.
