Sorry dude, only found out today that they were this awesome ;)Quote:

are you saying your or someone else has the tweaks??
Share the tweaks :D
Well I think I am in need of higher memory frequency, just toke the card to the guy that is gonna mod it, done tomorrow or the day after. But will get fun to see if I can get above 500mhz on my asus card, or else I found a leadtek Extreme here in Denmark, but abit expensive, but might give it a shot if the asus card is bad :)

Haha now EVERYONE is getting on the Leadtek band wagon :p:
BTW tested my mods finally and if you use two 10Kohm resistors the initial voltages are 2.0V for the memory and 1.35Volts for the GPU. If you'd rather have a lower starting voltage for the memory use a 50Kohm resistor but be aware that you're voltage control will be coarser the further up you go.

I'm awaiting an Sli 780i board for some 8600GT testing today so I am not sure when I am going to be able to bench tjhe 8400Gs next, really I should do it first on the P5K board.

Those are highly likely to be software tweaks that reduce the LOD / texture level down, miore so than simple Rivatuner LOD.Quote:

Not me, refering to the 8400GS comp where they only tested nature (and got 170+ fps :eek: )Quote:

unlocking extra pipes in RivaTuner resulted in no image in Windows. Just black screen forever... even in safe mode and after reinstalling drivers.
Yeah thats what happend when I swapped my 8400gs after unlocking the hidden thing with my 7900GTO, just didn't show picture, had to put bach the 8400gs and uninstall rivatuner.

Just got my LeadTek Extreme in from NewEgg today. Giving it a little run around before I go to work tonight. Than tomorrow I spend all day benching. :D
I did something I said I would never do and used a pencil mod on the 21b resistor because I was too lazy to solder it and I'm glad I did. The more volts I gave it the worse it got and now I have gone back down to 1.87v as at 2.24v it was not even stable in windows. I'm getting sick of lobby hanging on me as well .. it probably has again while I am inside typing this. At least with a v mod you can get rid of it by use of a cotton bud. Unless you have metallic ear wax of course. What, you mean I should have used a clean bud ?! wow, now you tell me ... :D :yepp:
The gpu volt mod is ok, 1.88v and no problems, hit 800Mhz before getting sidetracked with the memory.

PS Futuremark will have a fix for scores not appearing soon.
My qimonda maxes out at 2.2v, anything more just makes it less stable.... 2.5 gives instant artifacts lol ;)
On the plus side my card clocks a lot better on the core/shader than yours andy ;)
EDIT.. new scores ;)

I figured out how to delete results. Go to single result, then select which one you want to delete and the delete option will be right next to "mark as favorite"
What can you're card do at stock voltage, gpu and shader i mean. My XFX does 700/1700 @ 1.29 vgpu, thats stock voltage.
This might be interesting:
-Clockspeed goes in steps of 9mhz
-Shaderclock goes in steps of 54mhz.
they are benching subzero with monster clocksQuote:

I keep getting a message that I don't have permission to access that part of the forum. I guess it's only for people who entered the contest.Quote:

crazy nature FSB :shocked: :shocked:
He has serious clocks ;)
i've maxed out what the vf700-cu and 50cfm 80mm fan are going to give me with 18c ambient temps lol... scores up in a few. Also 6-3-3-3-3-3 timings are only good for about 50-70 points over stock 6-6-6-6-6-3 timings :(
Heres the gpu mod for your card vendetta, same for 256 EVGA :up:
