Tweaking the 8800 shader..

[rjw]

from what I understand, the default shader speed on 8800 cards is 1200 for gts and 1350 for gtx models

using nbitor and nvflash, I tested the effect of increaing this to 1450 on a 8800 gtx

system setup is as follows

P5B Deluxe wifi
E6600 running at 400 x 9 w/ 4/5 mem ratio

xfx 8800 gtx running at default speeds and default voltage

results in 3dm06

sm2 = 4830
sm3 = 4926

score 11,221

with shader at 1450

sm2 = 4921
sm3 = 5031

score 11,401

aquamark

default 201,602 ran 3 times in a row with same result

w/ shader at 1450 201,727...202,088...201,962 (3 times in a row)

I don't believe that rivatune or atitool touches the shader clock

So , please check it out and let us know your results

from what I understand, 1500 is the limit (as per Nvidea), but who knows?


Possibly the lower clocked gts can benefit more from this!!...
