I have try with cpu @ 3108(liquidcooled),ram with 3.6V e vga 637/1912 but Pc restarting during the first bench of '05...can be a PSU problem?
I have Enermax 600W.
I have try @ 2460,3.1V on ram and vga @ 633/1912 and no problem.

Do you have another PSU you can try?

Very nice for minimal effort but get this back under your vapo and then DRY ICE. Freeze that badboy.

I think to buy another PSU...
On 2 of december DryIce on CPU :D
First 3d mark'03...@ 3Ghz I'm totally cpu limited:

[mr_knowitall15]

lol great mousepad!
wanna see frozen card results as well...

Haha...TKS :D
I love Nutella :slobber:
For now no frozen VGA but frozen Cpu on the 2nd of December...
I have to change PSU...I think to buy a Silverstone Zeus 650W

[nachthymnen]

A run with mem @ 1,935Ghz(Cpu @ only 231x13 and Ram non setted)

No Artifacts :D

[Goltnor]

Hello nachthymnen hey you're working with the stock heatsink?? What are the max temps?? I'm looking for buy one, so is possible to apply AS5? It will help or the big heatsink is simply enough ? :confused:

Good results :slobber: :p:

I'm use stock cooling...idle temp @ 580/1730 around 38/39°...under full load around 57/58° max...with open window :D
For now I have bench @ 633/1935 without artifacts

Ohh nice temps man, I have a dilemma between the xfx and the bfg :p:

[Pisu87]

I think to buy another PSU...
Hey nachty, which one do you want to buy? :D
I don't think it is PSU related anyway...

Wee Pisu :D
My problem it's the PSU ;)
Tomorrow or monday I will receive the Silverstone Zeus 650W with trimmer.
Another fast 3dmark'03 without optimizations and cpu @ only 3060Mhz :)

Hehe...it's a big dilemma...BFG it's the most beautiful of the 512MB...the green flame on dissy it's wonderful...

[Supertim0r]

you should look at the new pc & power 850w or the 1kw if money isn't a problem

Money now it's a problem after buy this monster card :D
I hope the Zeus 650 for now it's sufficent...

[nachthymnen]

I have benched again in '05...don't look @ the horrible result but the frequency it's not bad for now :)

[perkam]

Horrible result indeed...you should be hitting 11k easily on those clocks.

Yes and is 580/1750 too :slobber:

[gocchin]

With similar cpu speed and and similar video clocks I can hit 11200+

I know :( With Super PI I know all the optimizations but in the 3d mark'05 no :(
I have bench without any kind of optimizations...I have try lod bias+3 but it's no good...Gocchin what driver do you run?

I'm using 81.94 and I'm also not optimized for Nvidia drivers... cause I don't really know how. I wish an Nvidia guru would run me through how to best set these drivers up for performance ;).

Score does seem little low, are you using Riva Tuner ??
Also, LOD bias of + does not do much in 05 like it does for Nvidia with 3d 01.
You need to go through riva tuner and tweak it.

One little tweak that does help is in Riva Tuner > Open GL tweaks >
check mark > override intellisample tri quality control > move all way right to
high performance TLF. This is just one of many things you can tweak
in Riva tuner. :cool:

I use riva tuner but I don't know any tweak for improve performance :(
I'm near the 23K in'03 with cpu @ only 3096Mhz
http://service.futuremark.com/compare?2k3=4426719
I will try immediately this tweak...Tks Dinasty ;)

[nachthymnen]

Many tks Dinasty...I have try this little tweak.
Before tweaking I obtain 22972,with tweak 23064 :)

I will try also in the '05 now ;)

Any other tweaks you can list out for us Nvidia noobs ;).... thank!

Yes :D
I think it's a good Idea :clap:

Under app profiles are you guys using global driver settings
or are you setting it to specific application.
Use the 3D mark 03.exe(3D mark 03) for 03 and same apply for
3d 05 benching. Make sure vertical sync is not only off in driver
settings but also always off in Riva Tuner.

Next friday I will bench under DI :)

[CrashOv3r1De]

Cant wait for the DI results. WHat does the card do on stock cpu/gpu/mem

The Silverstone should be FINE, Shamino uses one and we all know how HE benches!
