I know, but he could at least save money.... Just doing that, will only bring him a 1.5K max of more, but by saving a bit more money, he could get like 10K more......

my GF4 Ti4600 does only 15MHZ and then do some artifacts, perhaps is locked too, it's a CreativeLabs
I am not gonna gain 10k on top of my score(16.5k to 26.5k) without a $800 fx53 plus s939 mobo plus 9800xt plus 3700eb ram and this will be at least $1500 were talking about. as for your ti4600, its heat limited if your using stock cooling
I dout you'd gain 10k of that...
dont forget he said "and a 9800xt"Quote:

Yea, its still 90% skills, 10% money:D
I'm pretty sure a X800 XT PE or 6800 U $500... will get you the 26.5k score...
but as usual ti4200 chooses the hard route...
Received my Point of view 6800gt today and i don´t notice any Lock on Core MHz. Mine does 370 without any errors.
maybe random cards are lock just to piss people off.....???
Well, I'm waiting for my PNY 6800 Ultra to Arrive Soon, and It BETTER Not Have Any OC Locks for This Kinda $$$ ! :p:
Doing 420/1.14 on air atm, no artifacts.

with one of those, 3dmark2001 will become 95% cpu limited, only nature will gain fps. all other tests will depend how fast my a64 is and I dont have $500 for an x800xt and not another $500 for s939 3500+ and not still another $350-400 for a gig of bh5 ram then I gotta do vdimm mods on top of this. I think I will stay out of this, I leave all that to those with money and more skills than me. I am perfectly content with my "cheap" ti4200 and 2800+ a64 :D
My 6800 non gt non ultra is memory OC Locked :/ gpu flies to 410 on air but memory wont move 1 Mhz
3d mark 2001 isnt the end of the world.Quote:

Who cares about your system speed if you have a freakin' 16 pipeline graphics card?
3dmark is similar to games, 3dmark uses tests that are based on games. I will be cpu limited equally in games as well. I might as well save my $$$$$ and get a 9700 pro and overclock that instead. sure I wont have 250fps in nature or anything but every other test will be as high as my cpu can push them and ditto to games
Looks like P O V GT cards are one to stay away from.
Who needs a core lock??
well, never heard of that company anyways...
Things are starting to look up. ;)Quote:

Here's their website:

What a bummer if the non-ultra and gt are clock locked, i don't expect the ultra to be locked cause it's the top of the line.
Manufactuers of these cards don't want the cheaper gt to run at ultra speeds? :mad:
We sell the Point Of View cards. I can only assume they have locked them as they offer a 3 year warranty!
can you test one of the cards?
if they oc less or more than 365 core we can def say is they are locked or not. :)
Can't test them as we wouldn't be able to sell them as an A Grade product, plus we sell them out as soon as they're in stock :(Quote:

Got a few of the POV 6800 Ultras in tomorrow :)
not sure if its poss on the 6800 series but in the FX series its possible to up GPU\mem voltage via bios GPU can go from 1.2v to 1.5v, not sure how high mem voltage can go, just a thought. oh and for all you out there with a FX card, its also possible to enhance 3d image quality through the vc bios without a performance hit (or none that i noticed anyway) and you can also greatly enhance shader performance too for the FX card via bios.

Point of View is maybe better known as Sparkle.
I've owned a PoV FX5900XT and I clocked it from 390Mhz core to 520Mhz with stock cooling and even to 650Mhz with vmods and custom aircooling. So they don't make bad cards just because you've never heard of them.
I agree, you should invest in a 9700 or 9800 for less than $200, itd be the best bang for your buck.Quote:
