Unlock on 6800 unsuccessful

[EightySix Four]

In 3dmark05 I get glitches everywhere

but, while playin my games, there's no graphical glitches, this includes D3, FarCry, HL2, and EE2.

Do you guys think it's alright runnin it this way?

yeah, that was unsuccessful...nobody likes artifacts!

your games might not be stressing your graphics card enough to make artifacts. I'm not sure of what effects there would be if you kept chuggin on like that though

 

[ddogg]

hmmm....it was unsuccessful....dont take the risk running that way...

I thought Doom3 was supposed to stress a card more than anything?

 

[Chode Messiah]

that's very strange. Maybe you fried a small capacitor or something on the card. That or the unlock was semi-successful. Very odd:roll:

doom 3 does not do it as much as 3dmark. the 3dmark environments have way more geometyr and require alot more polygon and shader math proecssing than doom 3

 

[kurt454]

Just curious, does 3dmark03 run alright?

Did you try it with just the pixel pipes unlock or just the vertex shader unlocked? Maybe just one of those are defective?
