Yah I know now they are the same.
I first thought FX would require UNBUFFERED instead of REGISTERED MEMORY. I guess I am wrong now.
However, I think AMD is SO STUPID REQUIRING the REGISTERED memory on the FX part.
FX is kinda like the P4EE. For serious users and 'gamers' and mad...
Whats weird is that some of the overclocked 2666MHz results. Some of them had a 166/166 and some of them and a 133/166 FSB/RAM ratio. I wonder what is right and if it is just a typo on the graphs...
It is a feature of many high end SCSI drives. What happens is that if a drive is left idle for too long, the heads touching the disc surface will warm up quite a bit. To make the drive much more reliable, most scsi drive will move its head every few minutes if it has been left idle so that the...
Of cause there is use of a large buffer even on drivers with burnproof.
A large buffer will reduce CPU utilisation as your CPU doesnt have to keep feeding stuff into the buffer every millisecond. It can do it in larger burst, then do something else instead of keep feeding the buffer in small...
Sorry that I didnt state what GF I am using.
Its a GF4Ti4400 on AthlonXP 1700@1600/160 unlocked Epox 8KHA+ WinXP
I use the RivaTuner(newest version) refresh rate fix on these dets and they work.
I havent done screenshots between them to see if the image quality is any different between the 2 drivers. But I can tell you that, after 2 hours of gaming on the newer drivers, they are pretty much the same in terms of image quality, just more frames per seconds!!
I have upgraded from the 28.32 to the newest 29.42 drivers. And its Ansiotropic Filter performance TOTALLY BLOWS ME OFF THE CHAIR!!!.
Nvidia use to do very poorly (performance-wise) with Ansio Enabled. Now they are no longer!!!!
This is the 'benchmark' I have used.
Return to castle...
Those who are saying FPS doesnt matter... get real. Heck you are at anandtech.com and you are telling me you dont care about how much fps we have. Hell we read benchmarks from sites all over the places and we care about each miniscule difference in terms of speed... and now you tell me FPS...
I am actually thinking of upgrading my system to SCSI as well.
I looked at the Maxtor Atlas 10K3 and compared it with the Seagate Cheetah X15-36LP. At where I live the price difference between the 2 is about 35%. 35% does look a huge difference but if I factor the Tekram U160 card into it...
I got it guys. Thanks.
I placed a slow and quiet 80mm fan on top of the video card edge that blows right onto the fanless chipset heatsink. System seem to be rather stable :)
