Don't kid yourself. I have the money to drop on it but I won't, I'd fancy spending it on other things. I have a nice rig but it's not right on the bleeding edge but it performs like the bleeding edge does overclocked which is nice. Spend sensibly I say, I'm sure if it was his hard earned cash he...

something stronger I'd say :confused: I waited long enough for my Ultra before getting tired of it after 3 months and settled for a GT and some credit. Don't regret it one bit for the couple of frames I'd be missing. I suggest you do the same and get an x800 considering you can get that...

There could also possibly be a little clip at the end of the agp slot that you will need to push to the right as you're pulling the card out. Otherwise it will be just like pulling out a regular pci device, yes.

ROTFL! Made my day :D Some things just don't need tweaking/modding..

numbers and screenies please :) Mine didn't so I'm sure it won't

get someone to place both chips in their package behind their back, shuffle and then pick one and pray to the oc gods for goodness. How many other forums did you post this on? :eek:

arguably yes

burn-in is a bit of a myth really..

1) superpi 2) memtest 3) games 4) prime95 for seal of approval If you're going to run p95 everytime you change a setting you'll soon go mad and spend 5months before you manage to overclock your system :p

we do, glad to hear you got it sorted! :D

Fortron for a good quality psu, ultra if you want bling

agp works fine here power well connected etc? :confused:

Here here Sir! A voice of reason in a sea full of madness, it's a mod boi psu - nothing more.

sure thing, soon as these moronic threads stop appearing :p

well known issue and the solution is to use a third party app like refreshforce

LOL! :D I upgraded from a ti4200 to a 6800gt and the difference is massive to say the least. Of course, if you want to play at resolutions that are cpu limited and then tell us that the upgrade wasn't worth it, you're more than welcome to do so. Just don't expect anyone to swallow it...

New QC standard needs implementation for posters: read, think, RESEARCH and then when you're sure you're not a dillydong, it's time to click the new thread button. Breaking news to people aware of such things because they're used for something else isn't very clever, is it? :rolleyes: I...

I've tried both methods and there's sod all difference in temps (possibly 1 degree celsius at most) so I'd go with whatever you feel comfortable doing personally. I love making a perfectly flat and extremely thin film of it on my IHS, other people like pressing down on their grains of rice and...

To make overclocking as big a pain in the ass as it can be. Helps people kill their hdd's too and forces them to go out and buy another thereby helping the industry :rolleyes: Or to see how stupid we are and if we can identify the problem? :D My guess is because most people only use 2...

Go into any of the menu's and press shift+alt+f3 to get some more hidden options in each menu. One's to note importantly are disabling nv/ati speedup (affects stability) and aggressive timings, if you're overclocking. Some beta bios give a few more nice options too. If you want to get more than...

My vote goes to any tccd based ram on brainpower pcb for the lower volts, ok you might not be breaking any world records in benchmark land but it does a fantastic job. Ditch the booster and don't pump unnecessary volts through it or overclock beyond a reasonable speed. If the chips max stable oc...

Try 2.5-2.7Ghz for air and anything beyond that on water/phase change etc. Have mine at 2.7Ghz here with an xp-90.

On the other hand, I've never been happier with a build since my initial purchase of a 2x512MB DC PQI kit, a neo 2 plat and a 3500+ (90nm) which is sitting happily at 2.7Ghz compared to my poor old barton 3000+ that wouldn't go past 2.3Ghz. The other boards aren't bad but the oc'ing king atm is...

nice job, ghetto mods rule :D Now get down the local motor store and pick up some aluminium mesh and make a cheapo air filter and you're laughin

my 3300 was also prone to overheating with it's hs and no fan -- stuck an old cpu fan on it and had my first successful gfx card oc with a pathetic increase in speed. It lives on in one of the office machines to this day :)

"the gamers benchmark" Can we sue for false advertising?

Voodoo 3300 agp version and wickedgl drivers..ahhh :D

Are you employed by infinium labs or FM? FM over reacted to the situation completely and they're going to get hurt a bit by it, if not a lot. I have personally used the free version of their products and had recently contemplated buying them. I would be much happier to provide the money I was...

shadows to medium - water to high/medium - enjoy

OMG I MUST HAVE THE XTPE SO I HAVE 5000000009FPS INSTEAD OF 500000001FPS SO IT RUNS SMOOTHAR YEAH! MY CARD PWNZ YOURS ETC. I WILL JUSTIFY MY BUY INSTEAD OF ENJOYING MY GAMES!11111 *sad sorry I couldn't resist :( nobody will be able to tell the bloody difference as the fps are so...

Gainward GT GS 46-49idle -- 55-57 full load

once again I will say without hesitation that this is a fantastic card. It never gave me a bit of trouble, I don't seem to have these mysterious issues other people are having either. I got it, I installed it, I configured it, then I tweaked it and then finally - I started to drool watching all...

gainward gt - 46-48C idle and 55-57C at full load

Ray, nvidia have a brand new chipset/process. ATI have a refined chipset/process. The chances of there being an X800 driver release giving a miracle performance boost compared to the chances of there being a 6800 driver release giving a miracle performance boost is much more in nv's favour than...

I have this card and it's fantastic. The thing is loud ONLY when the fan is running at full speed, 100% - just like any other card when you first boot the system. To make it quiet you need to run the fan at 80% for 3D and 50% for 2D and you'll still get great temps. I run it at 425Mhz core and...

You were aware it was new technology when you bought it right? Obviously it's bound to have some teething problems and you're either ready to put up with it or you're not. If you are then there are workarounds mentioned that can help until we get a driver release to fix it. If not, then you...

Maybe if there was a good supply of XTPE's going around we'd start hearing about them no? I haven't had any trouble with my gt either -- everything I've thrown at it plays great, including ut2k4 with 4xAA and 16xAF using the 61.77 drivers that shipped with my card and dx9.0c. There's always a...

image settings -- high quality in nv control panel 1024x768 - default 3dmk03 settings - http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=3071123 GT @440/1.18

I just ran it there with my GT at 350/1000 with 4xAA/4xAF at that res. and got 35.6 then oc'd to 400/1100 and got 40.1. Will try with 16xAF now and edit back for you. My cpu runs 100mhz slower than yours with tighter ram timings, result to follow.. result = 26.8 yes is the answer! What's...
