Sorry for the double post, but I wanted to ask you Knight about your suggestion to update the BIOS. Is there any particular reason that you suggest this? I usually don't do something like this unless I have a problem and am at my wit's end... thanks!
Yup the 66.81s showed a slight performance increase over what Dell installed stock. I would advise installing these as well! I think I grabbed mine from Guru3d.com - they had newer ones than this but I took the 66.81s anyway. If you look at the download counts, it appears to be the most...
I spent some time overclocking this card some tonight, here are my results:
Clock = Clock speed in MHz
Memory = Memory speed in MHz (doubled because of DDR)
VP = Vertex Pipeline enabled (Y=Yes, N=No)
PP = Pixel Pipeline enabled (Y=Yes, N=No)
3dMark03 = 3dMark2003 score using default...
cool thanks for the advice about SLi. I'll give those drivers a shot, right now I think that I am using 61.78.
edit: scored 10,023 moving to those drivers with just the Vertex pipeline unmasked. When I get home from work I'll see if unmasking that pipeline still shows distortion with the...
knyghtbyte, I downloaded 3dMark03 Version 340 and ran it against three configurations, using the default settings of 3dMark:
Stock GTO:
9670 Marks
79 C peak Temperature
Stock GTO w/ Vertex Pipeline Unmasked:
9737 Marks
78 C peak Temperature
Stock GTO w/ Pixel Pipeline Unmasked...
knyghtbyte, I followed your instructions with RivaTuner and only enabled the other pipelines, but unfortunately I get artifacts when I run Unreal2... :P
edit: I tried just enabling the Pixel unit, but the artifacts remained. Gonna try just the vertex pipeline instead.
edit2: The Vertex...
Got mine this morning, would have had it yesterday but UPS gave me a huge run around with picking it up because I wasn't there to sign. They had me going out to their facility at 8:30pm to pick it up, only to find that there special "pick up door" was closed for the night....grrrr
Anyway...
I ordered mine on Monday around 2pm I think. Its status was "Shipped" when I checked it Tuesday morning on the Dell site, but has been "Billing Information Received" on the UPS site since Tuesday morning also. I chose 2 day shipping and was hoping to get it today since it was "Shipped" on...
Ordered one here too because found someone who would buy the monitor for a fair price. You certainly can't beat this deal when the same system (using the cheapest components) would cost you $100 more WITHOUT a monitor at Newegg.com. After selling the monitor this deal because MAGMA hot...
I've been shopping for a new system for about a month now, and it seems that, if I were to take the components that are likely in this system (except the monitor), and price them out on a site such as Newegg.com, they'd come close to the same price (actually $100 more on Newegg). The thing that...
