    Thinking about it... How much does CPU speed matter with this card? My e8400 is straight up garbage.

    Hey guys, in light of the 3D03 bug thread maybe we should look to changing from 3D03 to something else?

    STEvil, think that's only really affecting the top end ATi stuff atm - probably shouldn't be that big a deal with us?

    Well benching at 5+GHz in 03 didn't matter much at all due to the weak GPU, 01 though will be a CPU test but even then it won't matter as much as if we were using some powerful cards. Join in for the fun, there will be guys competing on air

    Time to put a cat amongst the pigeons

    Presenting the Gainward 8600GT GS GLH featuring a 8600GT die on a 8600GTS PCB


    1000MHz good to go!


    Quick bench run - no vmods, air cooled, badly setup system rig


    1140MHz on the memory & 7501MHz on the core, but that'll be going up shortly

    1.4ns on my Asus Silent as well.

    Add capacitors James... and put a power connector in that empty spot, our PCB's are every bit as capable as Johnny's there lol
