NVIDIA's shady trick to boost the GeForce 9600GT

[Luka_Aveiro]

HOLY S! I was wondering why I couldnt clock my cards much past 700. My PCI-E bus was set to 110 originally, then 105 as of right now. If this is the case, I would rather set it to 100 and clock the cards manually to affect the shader clock. I noticed a discrepancy in the Hardware Monitor plugin, but brushed it off as a bug.

Also, I am trying to see if theres an option for bios vmod, but I cant open nibitor in Vista x64. Any help would be appreciated.

You CAN overclock shaders unlinked from core frequency

I cannot help you with nibitor though, hope you find your way

I don't see how this can be a good thing for the users since, if they are gonna set an auto overclock on their cards this means that they can all run at that speed...and if they can all run at that speed why not release the cards with that clock?

Because if they released it with a higher core clock, by raising pci-express frequency, the core clock would be even higher, leading to crashes.

It is always a nice thing to know, and might be helpful knowing your limits and how to get over them. It is nice to know how the game is made, so you can play it well
