    Hi guys I just picked up an XFX Alpha Dog card (625MHz core) because I sold my BFG 8800GT to a friend because it had the smaller reference fan. Disappointly it looks like I can't even do 700/1000 in 3Dmark06. My old BFG OC2 did 740 core, 1850 shader, 1060 memory on stock bios, reference cooler. This XFX Alpha Dog won't let me go past 700 core, 1680 shader, 1000 memory. I can't believe the core performs so poorly, even if I bump up the shader or the core 10 mhz, it will crash in the beginning of Return to Proxycon in 3Dmark06...the XFX is supposed already be 1.1v isn't it???

    I've been reading through this thread and could use a few tips with Nibitor, in setting the exact modes I have Extra and 3D as 1.1V but what do I set 2D and Throttle to? 0.95V or 1V

    Does anybody have a good XFX bios premade that has had good results and memory/timings/fan settings etc. I could quickly try (or look at in Nibitor as a guide?) Thanks!
