Is it worth Paying 300.00 to use a GTS on a Celermine?

I got the solution!

Check out this thread. What was the problem? In order queue depth was set to 1. All that for a simple BIOS option.

Now try 3DMark again...

Viper GTS - SWEET!!! problem solved. what scores are you getting now? i read your other thread. what the heck was syborg smokin? man, these forums are awesome!

Bartman39 - what scores did you get at 1099? yeah, i noticed that after a certain point cpu speed doesn't help too much. it's all about oveclocking the vidoe card...

yup... the advantage of having a 95mhz agp slot instead of a 71.5mhz one...

man, how i wish that the i815 had an optional 2/3 divider instead of the automatic 1/2...

Sorry Tuff Guy had a crash (me I mean zzzzzzz....) I could not get 3dMark2000 to run a full pass at 1099mhz it would crash to the desktop figured 1050 or so is my chips limit with any stability... Viper GTS thats great you found your problem now you have a kick@ss score... Have to remember that one...! BTW I dont normaly run my video card up that high 240/410 (even though it will go that high) I just do it for testing, heck even at default it hits 7100+ with the cpu @1Ghz nothing even comes close the taxing it...


Sorry jdaves... we sorta mucked up your thread and its question but I hope it show`s that a GF2 GTS is worth its price, BTW go for the 32 meg to save the $$$ 64meg means you just have a bigger set of nadds...
