Damn I am going on holiday and getting a FX-55 so my HW will be changed in about 2weeks.
But just for the record. With 9800LE I had best expirience with XP SP2 overall and 4.12's, deffenately the best combo for that card.
Saaya: YGPM.
Best 03 drivers for x800 series and XP?
getting around 6200 marks with my 9700 pro and my mxp setup think 7000 is a landmark
Heat wave is killing temps tho its 12 deg and its 12p.m here lol werid or what trying to get as far as possible before volt mods come out to play....
4.12's I would say. With my 9600PRO and 9800LE that was the best ones for both.Quote:

cats 5.6 without question. ;)Quote:

UGH, looks like a serious stability problem with the system. Try the last BIOS you were using first and see if it goes back to the way it was.
hmmm my system is rock solid like usual, just missing a video card, STILL :( It has been at FedEx all day!! NEVER DO 2DAY its worse then the cheaper shipping option
gonna try 5.5 First then move on to 5.6...Quote:

hehehe...Still air cooling? :fact:
Whats best approved nvidia driver for 6800 in 03? Do I want win XP pro over win 2k?
I was REALLY hoping Pi would be first so I'd have time to finish phase for GPU...
i hate the 7800 coldbug, ever since i put water on it i ahve to wait for my compy to warm up for like 10 minutes before it un-vegetables lol
ok hate and 7800 are not to be used in the same sentance...If you don't like her I'll be happy to trade!
lol i don't hate the card! i love this card it's amazing, i'll prolly just update the bios soon anyways
o and does anyone know if the 80.40 drivers are futuremark approved?
Magni..... your score says it's not run with approved drivers. Don't we have to use FM approved drivers, I seem to remember seeing that somewhere???Quote:

yea kinda crappy
are 5.6's approved yet? Is there a list somewhere?
Aaaaaahhhh, my card is still in the mail! I really wanted to try out some VTT mods on this SLI-DR. Obviously I'm out if it's not here in 4 days.
Avoid the 5.6s for '01, 5.4s are good for that IIRC. I know 5.6s are some of the worst for it though.
yepp fm asked me to tell you guys to please only use approved drivers and in return they would support the grand prix and give us some prizes :)
so please only use approved drivers, if theres a driver thatsa isnt approved yetz and you want it approved let me know and i will ask futuremark to approve them asap if possible :)
and Magnj, chilled air? :D
but then again half of the people here on air are using air conditioning in their apartments/homes i guess... well, as i said we are gonna decide what categories we set up between this and next week :)
Got an improvment about 120 Points from 5.5 to 5.6!Quote:
