6800 GT @ 410/1100. This happens when i use Coolbits as well and doesn't seem to matter what driver its running on. Basically when I set the 3D OC in Rivatuner the 2D memory clock gets overclocked as well for some reason. Or in reverse if I try and return the 2D memory back to default the 3D...
I guess this is finally the bios that "officially" supports Venice/Diego. Was wondering if anyone flashed and can report positive/negative. Ive stuck with 1.5 since I got the board/chip, and Ive had good performance overall but have experienced a couple wonky things here and there that may or...
Is there a verdict on this or does it very greatly? I run a somewhat modest 2.6ghz on my 3500+ Venice for everyday use. Its completely stable and although the ram is value ram (G.skill) Im pretty happy with the performance. Im considering getting an extra gig for the system soon and Im aware of...
Nvidia control panel/Riva Tuner is almost always 10c higher than what Everest/SpeedFan is telling me. Under load using the Rthdribl Demo (aka the GPU BBQ) the Nvidia Control panel says its up to 88c. Yikes. But Everest says its a bit more sane at 77c. Idle is more of the same, Nvid Cpl says 62c...
Technically what are the changes that are made? I get an average between a 10 to 15 drop in fps for games like Far Cry and Half Life 2 when I have High Quality enabled over Quality. Except visually the only thing I notice is more shimmering at a distance with the Quality setting (2xAA, 8xAF...
I just had a BSOD and I think Diskeeper freaked out because of it. My page file used to be on the first row and now its all the way on the bottom. I didnt set a boot-time defrag or anything. Ive never had a bad experience with Diskeeper, but Ive never seen it move the page file on its own...
Looking for some temp comparisons with this heat sink/cpu combo. I have a 3500+ OC'd to 2.7ghz using 1.5 vcore, Prime Stable.
Im using a Panaflo 48cfm fan for the XP and my case has two 120mm fans for intake and exhaust. Peak temp with Prime95 Small FFT is 53c. Idle hovers around 36c. Using...
Im looking to get the most out of my cheapo G.Skill 512x2 kit (2.0-3-3-6 DDR400). After reading Zebo's thread I figure I should go for tighter timings first and keep my ram around 200mhz. What values/combinations should you focus on when going for tighter timings? Or to put it another way...
I have this SyncMaster 997 DF that for the most part gives me a nice picture, but it has some quirks I could use some help on.
First oddity is when using a 1280x960 resolution either in desktop or running a game, I get this horrible effect. I think its what you call banding but Im not sure...
This is kind of an offshoot of my other troubleshooting thread (http://forums.anandtech.com/messageview...tid=31&threadid=1588215&enterthread=y). Ive been getting lock ups in 3Dmark05 and the Splinter Cell:CT demo with a 6800GT, as well as some poor performance/glitches in games. When I used a...

I kinda messed up here. I set a new page file size before I ran the boot-time defragmentation. Now my page file is sitting three rows down on the far right side of the drive map and Diskeeper skips the boot-time defrag since its already contigious. I take it this will hurt peformance a bit, but...
I just got my new rig setup and browsing the forum I keep getting this odd prompt with text box in FF. "Please enter the master password for the Software Security Device" every time I try and open a new post or hit the back button. If I hit cancel nothing happens, the box goes away.
Of the...
First time builder, be gentle.
Case installation has been smooth up until trying to mount the motherboard. I screwed in the standoffs properly to align with my MoBo (Neo2 Platinum) but the generic screws included to hold it in place are too small and Im not getting any torque on the threads...
I was looking to get this to back up things since I dont like using system restore when something goes terribly wrong and reformatting is a pain. But the Pricegrabber.com user reviews are particularly harsh toward this program. Is 9.0 a known lemon or do these users maybe not know what they're...
When planning out a new PC I think Ive had the most trouble deciding the PSU of all things. Im not an experienced system builder and it just seems like I get lost in all the talk of wattage, amperage, dual rail, stability, efficiency, decibels...ahhh! I just want a quality unit that'll give me...
My P4 3.06 ghz PC had an unfortunate turn of events recently and it looks like Ill be upgrading a lot sooner than I expected. A couple weeks prior I bought a brand new PNY Verto 6800 GT 256mb AGP. When I start building the new PC I plan to go with an Athlon 64 3500+ on the 939 Socket in the...
