besides OCing my vid card, tweaking?

[Sprocket]

I don't know if Xtreme Overclocking is the place I should put this... but I was wondering if there is a guide or just some tips you guys could give me about tweaking my vid card now that it's OCed. thanks.

well, which drivers are you running? the newest Dets aren't that great for the older GF3 cards. also, make sure you've got AA and AF turned off for benching.

ok... drivers not best... which are the best? and where to download...

they've got a bunch of them there. i'm not sure which one is the best, i never really took the time to figure it out. :(

hopefully someone else will be more help.

I think either the 30.82 or 40.72 are the best.

40.72 is the best for the gf3 class.

There is a pretty good guide in the Futuremark forums. It is stickied in Display Adaptors and Drivers

thanks!! I'll download, install the 40.72's

I heard the 43s were good but not the 44s or latest 45s.

Just what I heard so not sure on its accuracy.

I like the 44.03 but before that I always loved the 40.72

I have a Leadtek Ti4200 GF4 64mb

You could try to tweak the LOD (level of detail) in rivatuner :toast:

[Sprocket]

level of detial... might try that too. thanks all! :thumbsup:

If you want to use your LOD, you might as well go all out.

Get into Rivatuner, go to power user, and set the LOD bias Range to 15, instead of the default 3.

With my ti200, I found that 6.1 worked best overall. 15 is great in Drag, but it hurts nature, so it really doesn't equal out, unless you want to run the tests one at a time, since 3d2k1 lets you retest.

Go to the 3d team forum, and chaeck out the sticky on 3d tweaking, it is a nice article.
