Guidelines:

* Please post your thread in the correct location. If it's your first post on the site it will be flagged for approval first. Because your first post is flagged it is important that you place it in the correct location or it could be tossed and your account banned. This is due to the fact the BOTS like to place posts in the incorrect places. If you are banned by accident, please contact us using the contact us link.

* Please use the Search feature. If you are looking for an answer to a question or a solution to a problem, there is a good chance it has been asked and answered already.

*Use the "Report this post" feature if you find a post that you feel breaks any of the sites rules. A notification will then be sent via email to the forum moderators and admins.

* Private Messaging functionality is provided for all users and is enabled by default when you create your user account. If you do not wish to receive private messages from other users, you may disable this feature in your User Control Panel.

GeForce3D reserves the right to alter and modify these rules and guidelines without warning. It is the responsibility of each user to know and follow these rules and guidelines at all times.
