Newly installed BFG 7800 with .22 bios: 3dmark05 8060. It reported 1197mhz memory.
Rebooted and flashed to .25 bios: 3dmark05 8314. Memory now reported at 1305.
That's what I saw when I first got the card on Tuesday. Rivatuner/coolbits/other tweaking utilities were not installed. .25 seems...
Guru3d has the driver available for download as well.

My results are officially null and void. I loaded up Prime95, set the priority to high, set it to the second core, and then benched Far Cry.
Far Cry with 1 core available:
Score =...
EDIT: looks like there is no increase from dual cores, see my post further below
I'm surprised no one has tested this yet. Its been out a day, slackers!
I ran some quick benchmarks with 77.72 and 80.40 and found some interesting results. I might have screwed up somehow because I did see...
The P180 has a noticeable effect on my raptor seek noises and vibration. I was thinking about replacing them with the newer fluid bearing version but will now wait for the next generation ones to come out. Aside from that, I haven't really noticed anything else out of the ordinary. Seasonic S12s...
Buying and killing off the better Aureal EAX format somewhat annoyed me. Continually selling a slightly newer rehashed version of old SB Live! all these years just reeks of stagnation. That being said, I'll probably buy a their new XiFi card with the 25% off settlement coupon just to keep...
That's just for enabling cool'n'quiet. I'd stay away from it until researching how to use it and overclock the same time on whatever board you have. It's possible to use both on DFI NF4 boards only by using the percentage voltage adjustment. It won't work with a manually set vcore.
Generally...
Sounds good. Now I won't be afraid to buy another 1GB kit when having 2GB is more helpful in games (more than just BF2) and worth the performance hit of 2T. The confusion around TCC5 made me hesitant about sticking with this ram.
There were probably less BFG cards to begin with. All the sites I shop at have at least one brand in stock. New supplys of the cards were already arriving last week. My soon to arrive BFG one came from ZZF's second batch they got in Friday evening. The high end sales are slow and Nvidia had...
The quality of service from UPS really depends on the drivers in your area and maybe how much of a work load they have. Many people report problems with UPS while many others have had basically no problems. All the carriers do just fine in my area.
Right now I'm dissapointed that FedEx now...
H.264 acceleration is going to be essential for the notebook market (is it still larger than the desktop market and ATI is probably still #1 in it). Since they basically have to support it to be able to play future hidef material on the go, why not bring it to the desktop as well? If nothing...
It would seem that anyone but the current people running Maytag could do a better job. What a long ways they have fallen. But then again, much of the other fallen name brands sell re-badged appliances built in the same factories. I don't understand why there isn't a Honda or Toyota of household...
I got a week 17 3000+ retail from Monarch last week. Ordered on Sunday night and received on Friday. 2.7ghz is stable with 1.525 vcore and a Zalman 7700-cu. Right now I'm trying to find the highest stable speed at the default 1.4 vcore. So far its looking to be closer to 2.6ghz than 2.5ghz...
6-18 bios cut my X2s speed in half in superpi. 1 million digit times took a minute compared to 30 seconds. The 5-10 and now modded 5-10 (6-23) have been excellent for me.
