    I modded the origianal BIOS with new core/strem/memory values and it did indeed give better performance than with Riva tiner and ATi tool. Thanks

    when oc the gpu the shader goes up also , right . so if you mod your bios (whatever bios you want ,perferred one that you have already tried and know to work on your card )with nibitor and up the shader then flash your new bios . now stock your shader is set higher , so when you oc your gpu with rivatuner your shader goes higher than it could have before , because the shader will go higher than the core , but how much higher .

    so.. I compared the EVGA Bios to a default one:

    Default: 576 / 1350 / 900
    EVGA: 626 / 1458 / 1000

    If you look closely at these numbers you will notice, that the shaderclock of the EVGA IS NOT OVERCLOCKED!!!

    If you would increase the coreclock of the "default card" to 626, this would also lead to a 1458 shaderclock.

    But why are the results higher?
    Something strange is happening over here..

    Tighter memory timings perhaps?

    I've looked at several different bioses and the memory timings all seem identical.

    For the record, I flashed an OEM 8800GTX with the ACS3 bios without a problem. I then reflashed it with a modified bios where I increased the base line shader clock by 108mhz without a problem. It did gain me a slight improvement in 3Dmark06 but I'm sure it will be more useful in games.

    that's right, the memtimings of the evga and xfx are identical.
    I don't understand how this should lead to higher results, it makes no sense at all.
